Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘The parol evidence rule does not apply where it is alleged and proved that, by reason of mutual mistake of fact or accident, the agreement fails to embody all of the terms of the contract actually made, or does not express the real intention of the parties; and in such a case extrinsic evidence is admissible to show what the real contract was.’ Dunham v. Chatham, 21 Tex. 231 , 73 Am.Dec. 228; Texas Pacific Coal & Oil Co. v. Crabb, Tex.Com.App., 249 S.W. 835 ; Keystone Pipe & Supply Co. v. Kleeden, Tex.Civ.App., 299 S.W. 671 .””
