Description
The question here is whether service of citation was proper in the face of a writ of error attack on a default judgment. The plaintiffs original petition alleged that the defendant, Uvalde Country Club, could be served by serving its registered agent, Henry Bunting, Jr., 137 West Nopal Street, in Uvalde, Uvalde County, Texas. The citation was directed to Uvalde Country Club, by serving its registered agent, "Henry Bunting." The sheriffs return on this citation showed delivery to "Henry Bunting." Uvalde County Club failed to answer, and the trial court rendered a default judgment in favor of Martin Linen Supply Company, Inc. Uvalde Country Club brought writ of error to the court of appeals within six months of the default judgment. The court of appeals held that the lack of "Jr." was immaterial because it did not constitute any part of the name of the registered agent.
