PHILLIPS, Chief Justice.
This is an application for writ of error from a default judgment taken in a divorce case. Petitioner maintains in his first point that the trial court erred in entering a default judgment because the citation with the officer's return thereon had not been on file with the clerk of the court for the ten-day period required by Tex.R.Civ.P. 107 and 239.
