Gail Ashley, Petitioner v. Doris D. Hawkins, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.063 does not toll the limitations period for a defendant who has left the state but is amenable to service under the long‑arm statute, overruled Vaughn v. Deitz, and found that the plaintiff failed to show diligence in serving the defendant, affirming summary judgment for the defendant.
