990 S.W.2d 453 (1999)

Phyllis PRICE, as Trustee of the Melba Depriest King Trust, Appellant, v. Gloria DEAN, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, Corpus Christi.

April 8, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

R.L. Mays, Jr., San Antonio, for appellant.

Calvin W. Scholz, Douglas Alan Hinchcliff, Rockport, for appellee.

Before Justices DORSEY, CHAVEZ, and RODRIGUEZ.


OPINION

Opinion by CHAVEZ, Justice.

Appellant Phyllis Price, in her capacity as trustee of the Melba Depriest King Trust (the "Trust"), appeals from a default judgment entered against the Trust and in favor of appellee, Gloria Dean. By her eighth issue, appellant argues that service of process was deficient. We hold that service was deficient because the return of service failed to name the defendant, and we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
