Calvin Cowan Wins Restricted Appeal Reversing Default Judgment
March 2014 – The Texas Sixth Court of Appeals (Texarkana) reversed and remanded a no-answer default judgment granted by a District Court in Tyler, Texas against a general contractor. The appellate court unanimously agreed that the subcontractor claimant failed to exercise reasonable diligence in serving the lawsuit upon the general contractor’s registered agent before resorting to substitute service upon the Texas Secretary of State.
