PEDEN, Justice,
dissenting.
I would affirm the trial court’s default judgment.
The defendant-appellant, who is in the sheet metal business in Crockett, Texas, argues that the items are unclear, obscure and undecipherable; he does not say they are not readily understood by him. It should be noted that the plaintiff’s exhibit shows the defendant’s order number and the date the merchandise was shipped. Surely he can readily identify the 24 articles comprising the single item in question. That item could be more clearly described to identify it to one who did not order it and is not in the sheet metal business, but one who is not in the industry and has little acquaintance with electric motors can figure out that “24 BLWR 6A ½ HP 230V” means 24 electric blower motors, 6 amperes, ½ horsepower, 230 volts. It should be easy for one who ordered them.
I cannot disagree with the trial judge’s presumed finding that the nature of the items was shown with reasonable certainty.
The appellant does not complain of the award of an attorney’s fee.
