Eleanore LAYTON, Appellant, v. NATIONSBANC MORTGAGE CORPORATION, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, Corpus Christi-Edinburg.

Rehearing Overruled September 15, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael W. Williams, Corpus Christi, for appellant.

Rupert F. Barron, Eric Scott Lipper, Michael D. Conner, Hirsch & Westheimer, Houston, for appellee.

Before Chief Justice VALDEZ and Justices RODRIGUEZ and GARZA.


OPINION

Opinion by Justice Garza.

Appellant, Eleanore Layton, appeals from the trial court's decision to grant a bill of review to appellee, Nationsbanc Mortgage Corporation, and to set aside a default judgment granted in favor of Layton over four years earlier. Because Nationsbanc failed to show extrinsic fraud in the procurement of the default judgment, we reverse and reinstate the prior judgment.
