Bennett v. Bennett

OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

In his Motion for Rehearing, appellee states that “this entire matter turns on whether the computer printout generated at the District Clerk’s office stating on one line that an answer was filed by the appellant is a legally sufficient answer.” Appellee argues that such a printout is, if anything, a title and does not substitute as an answer. Appellee concludes that appellee was entitled to a default judgment since there was no answer other than the printout in the record.

However, appellee overlooked the fact that appellant filed a hand written general denial on September 14, 1992. Appellee’s default judgment was rendered on September 22, 1992.

Appellee’s Motion for Rehearing is overruled.
