As I used to work in the legal fields in the service department, yes, the Plaintiff files the default judgment with a copy of the proof of service. There really is no excuse other than claiming you were not served. But since it is a corporation and the RA was served that is going to be pretty hard to prove.

My husband got a default judgment once, were the process server claimed he served him personally. Well, low and behold, we had been in Tunisia. So we filed a MSAD and went to court with our proof.

There is normally no court date for defaults,Unless CRGP files a Motion to set aside the default judgment. basically it gets signed by the judge and goes from there how they want to try and collect the damages.
