Syllabus

<p>1. Jurisdiction—Service by publication.—In a suit by a resident plaintiff against a non-resident, the jurisdiction does not depend upon auxiliary attachment proceedings. Such suit, on service by publication, may be prosecuted to judgment, which will be valid as against property of the defendant found in the State.</p> <p>2. Practice.—Appearance by a non-resident defendant by attorney confers jurisdiction over him equally with personal service.</p> <p>3. Cases overruled.—Herrington v. Williams, 31 Tex., 457, overruled as to service on non-residents.</p>
