Citations

• 32 Tex. 328

Syllabus

<p>1— A citation in error is fatally defective when it does not require the defendant in error to appear before the Supreme Court at any designated term.</p> <p>2— When the return of the sheriff on a citation fads to show that a copy of the petition in error was delivered to the defendant in error, the service is fatally defective.</p> <p>3— These are statutory requirements, with which this court can not dispense, and which are essential to its jurisdiction.</p>
