## Opinion text

SANDEE BRYAN MARION, Justice,
dissenting.
I must respectfully dissent because I do not believe that the Craddock rule applies. This was not, in my opinion, a post-answer “default” because the appellant’s counsel appeared and participated at the trial. Accordingly, I would conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the appellant’s motion for new trial.
