I respectfully dissent.  
 

In reviewing the return of service,
we should give a fair, reasonable and natural construction to its intent and
meaning.  Brown-McKee, Inc. v. J.F.
Bryan & Assoc., 522 S.W.2d 958, 959 (Tex. App.CTexarkana 1975, no writ).  I would hold that the record, as a whole,
including the petition, citation and return, supports appellee=s assertion that appellant was
properly served with process.  See Regalado v. State, 934 S.W.2d 852, 854 (Tex.
App.C Corpus Christi 1996, no writ)
