Description
Appellants, Lawrence and Diane Furst, bring this restricted appeal pursuant to rule 30 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure to challenge a no-answer default judgment rendered against them and in favor of appellees, Millie and William Smith, pursuant to the Deceptive Trade and Consumer Protection Act (DTPA). See Tex. R. App. P. 30.*fn1 The trial court's final judgment awarded compensatory and punitive damages and attorney's fees and followed an interlocutory default judgment rendered on liability. The Fursts contend that the trial court erred by rendering the default judgment because the face of the record demonstrates a lack of compliance with rules 106 and 107 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, which govern, respectively, methods and return of service of process. See Tex. R. App. P. 106, 107. We reverse and remand.
