Description
The respondent, H. B. Sanders (hereinafter Sanders) brought this action against A. H. Belo Corporation (hereinafter Belo) for damages for the slander of title to certain real property. Upon receipt of the jury's answers to special issues, the trial court ordered that Sanders take nothing in the suit. The court of appeals reversed the trial court's judgment and remanded the cause for a new trial. 621 S.W.2d 205. We reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and affirm the judgment of the trial court. On June 14, 1976, Belo obtained a default judgment against Sanders in a Dallas County district court. A certified copy of the judgment was filed in the Marion County abstract of judgment records on August 9, 1976. On May 24, 1978, Sanders obtained a judgment in a bill of review action in Dallas County which set aside the default judgment on the basis that no service of process was ever had upon him. The bill of review judgment was filed in the abstract of judgment records of Marion County on May 30, 1978. This suit was instituted on June 9, 1978, but a release of the abstract of judgment lien was not filed by Belo until May 16, 1980.
