Richard M. Ross, Petitioner v. National Center for the Employment of the Disabled, as Successor in Interest To…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that a default judgment entered against a party who was never properly served is void and may be set aside without requiring the party to show diligence, and that the appellate court erred in imposing clean‑hands sanctions on a non‑served defendant. The case was remanded for trial on the merits of the underlying claims.
