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.
““It is first asserted the finding stated is not a finding that William Bradford died having no heirs. Wherefore, the judgment in'the State’s favor was unauthorized. This proposition is ruled against appellants by the opinion .reported in Tex.Civ.App., 109 S.W.2d 559 . It was there held the phrase “having no heirs,” means no known heirs, and no heirs who can be ascertained by the exercise of reasonable diligence. That is, such diligence as a reasonably diligent person would exercise in the transaction of his own business under the same or similar circumstances. We adhere to that ruling, and overrule appellants’ first proposition.””
