BURGESS, Justice,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. In a previous review of this case, Jordan v. Jordan, 890 S.W.2d 555, 561 (Tex.App.—Beaumont 1994), rev’d on other grounds, 907 S.W.2d 471 (Tex.1995)1, a unanimous court held that Kathy Stringer Jordan and Jerry Jordan “had an adequate remedy at law by way of writ of error after discovering the default judgment by August 23, 1991, and should have been diligent in pursuing that remedy in lieu of waiting 80 days to file a Bill of Review.” I believe that holding was correct then and is correct now. Therefore, I would sustain issue three and render a judgment for Susan B. and Ron Jordan.

. The Texas Supreme Court dismissed the appeal for want of jurisdiction because the bill of review was interlocutory and not appeal-able.
