I respectfully dissent.
In reviewing the return of service, we should give a fair, reasonable and natural construction to its intent and meaning. Brown-McKee, Inc. v. J.F. Bryan & Assoc., 522 S.W.2d 958, 959 (Tex. App.CTexarkana 1975, no writ). I would hold that the record, as a whole, including the petition, citation and return, supports appellee=s assertion that appellant was properly served with process. See Regalado v. State, 934 S.W.2d 852, 854 (Tex. App.C Corpus Christi 1996, no writ)
