OPINION

Opinion by Chief Justice ROGELIO VALDEZ.

The State of Texas seized $3,639.00 as contraband from appellant Danny Hernandez. Hernandez argues the trial court should have granted his "plea in bar to dismiss State's forfeiture action" because the State failed to exercise reasonable diligence in procuring the service of citation. We reverse and render.
