Marrot Communications, Inc. v. Town & Country Partnership

Appellant, Marrot Communications, Inc. ("Marrot"), challenges the trial courts no-answer default judgment rendered in favor of appellee, Town & Country Partnership doing business as Town & Country Village ("Town & Country"), in Town & Countrys suit against Marrot for breach of contract, fraud, conversion, and quantum meruit/unjust enrichment. In three issues, Marrot contends that the trial court erred in denying Marrots motion for new trial "based on defective service" and, alternatively, "under the Craddock test," and in awarding Town & Country "tort/punitive damages." We reverse and remand.
