Description
This is an appeal from a denial of a motion for new trial and to set aside a post-answer default judgment. William H. Huggins brought this action against Jack Cliff alleging fraud and misrepresentation in connection with a joint venture agreement. The trial court rendered a default judgment in the sum of $149,333 in favor of Huggins when Cliff and his attorney failed to appear for trial. The court of appeals affirmed. 696 S.W.2d 175. That court held that Cliff did not rebut the presumption of receipt of notice of the trial setting that was mailed by the court reporter under Rule 21a of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. We reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and remand the cause to the trial court.
