Petro-Chemical Transport, Inc. v. Carroll

In Petro-Chemical Transport, Inc. v. Carroll, 514 S.W.2d 240, 244 (Tex. 1974), the Texas Supreme Court held that, in a bill of review, the clerk's failure to send a notice is treated the same as if the clerk provided misinformation. In Petro, the Texas Supreme Court clearly mandated: No rule of law is better settled than the one that a court of equity will not set aside a final judgment in a former action when the failure to have a full and fair presentation of the case therein resulted from the negligence, inadvertence or mistake either of the party seeking relief or his counsel.
