Susan B. JORDAN and Ron Jordan, Appellants, v. Kathy Stringer JORDAN and Jerry Jordan, Appellees.

Court of Appeals of Texas, Beaumont.

Decided February 15, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kenneth A. Zimmern, John C. Schwambach, Jr., Stevenson & Ammons, L.C., Houston, for appellant.

Curtis Fenely, III, Fenely and Bate, L.L.P., Lufkin, Michael W. Minton, Flowers, Davis, Fraser, Derryberry & Van Cleef, L.L.P., Arlington, for appellee.

Before WALKER, C.J., BURGESS, and GAULTNEY, JJ.


OPINION

GAULTNEY, Justice.

This bill of review case is an effort by Kathy and Jerry Jordan to set aside a $1,000,000 default judgment entered against them. The key issue on appeal is whether the subsequent judgment entered in the bill of review proceeding properly set aside the default judgment. We hold that the default judgment was properly vacated and we affirm the subsequent take-nothing judgment.
