  2. Hooser v. Wolfe

    30 S.W.2d 728 (Tex. Civ. App. 1930)   Cited 2 times

    The law is well settled that in order to set aside a default judgment rendered at a term which has expired, it must be shown that the failure to file an answer and defend the suit was not due to the mistake or negligence of any one whose negligence will be imputed to the party against whom the judgment is rendered. Davis v. Darling, 20 Tex. 803; Ames Iron Works v. Chinn, 20 Tex. Civ. App. 382, 49 S.W. 665; Stringer v. Robertson (Tex.Civ.App.) 140 S.W. 502; Booker v. Coulter (Tex.Civ.App.) 151 S.W. 335; Welschi v. Keeton (Tex.Civ.App.) 287 S.W. 692; Thomas v. Goldberg (Tex.Civ.App.) 283 S.W. 230; Tex. Indemnity Co. v. Rice (Tex.Civ.App.) 271 S.W. 134; Bray v. Bank (Tex.Civ.App.) 10 S.W.2d 235; Oldham v. Heatherly (Tex.Civ.App.) 17 S.W.2d 113. This conclusion renders unnecessary a decision on the question of whether appellant also alleged a meritorious defense to the suit in which the judgment was rendered; and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
