LBL Oil Co. v. International Power Services, Inc.

This is a post-appearance default judgment case, appealed by writ of error to the court of appeals. The court of appeals affirmed the trial court judgment with an unpublished opinion. Since the record demonstrates that no notice was given to defendant of the hearing on the motion disposi-tive of the case, a majority of the court reverses the judgment of the court of appeals and remands the cause to the trial court because the decision conflicts with Peralta v. Heights Medical Center, Inc., 485 U.S. 80, 108 S.Ct. 896, 99 L.Ed.2d 75 (1988), and Lopez v. Lopez, 757 S.W.2d 721 (Tex.1988).
