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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Our courts have said that the object of the statute is not to encumber the registry with full information concerning the abstract of judgment lien. That may be obtained from the judgment lien itself after it has been located by consulting the index. The latter is designed merely to indicate the source from which the full information may be obtained. It was not necessary that the capacity in which the receiver held the judgment be shown by the index. We think the statute was sufficiently complied with and that the document was indexed in such manner as fully to accomplish the purpose of the law. Willis v. Smith, 66 Tex. 31 , 17 S.W. 247 ; Moseley v. Evangelical Theological College, Tex.Civ.App., 34 S.W.2d 638 ; Cooke v. Avery, 147 U.S. 375 , 13 S.Ct. 340 , 37 L.Ed. 209 .””
