Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Fausto Sosa, City Attorney, Jerry Bruce Cain, Assistant City Attorney, Laredo, for appellant.

Ben M. Sifuentes, Jr., Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas, San Antonio, for appellee.

OPINION

CHAPA, Chief Justice.

This is an appeal from a default judgment entered against appellants, the City of Laredo and Les Norton, in his official capacity as Civil Service Director of the City of Laredo. In six points of error, appellants contend that 1) the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to set aside the default judgment; and 2) the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the judgment. We reverse and remand.
