• 32 Tex. 569

Syllabus

<p>1—The statute, (Paschal’s Digest, Art. 1481,) is very explicit in requiring all writs and process to have the seal of the court affixed, to give them validity.</p> <p>8—Citations not under seal are void, and the defendant may appear and have them quashed on motion; or, if judgment has been rendered by default, on such void process, he may have it reversed on writ of error. The case of Prosh v. Sehlumpf, 2 Texas R., 422, to the same effect, cited and approved.</p>
