Bank One, Texas, N.a., Formerly Deposit Insurance Bridge Bank, N.a., Petitioner v. Robert L. Moody, Jr., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the Craddock test for granting a new trial after a default judgment consists of three elements, not four, and that a mistake of law satisfies the first element; therefore the appellate court's judgment was reversed and the case remanded for trial.
