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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The fact that many schools adjoining large common school districts and independent school districts are unable to group under the present high school grouping law; the further fact that such failure to be able to group prevents equal educational opportunities to all the pupils in various localities; and the further fact of unequal and insufficient financial support of many pupils of Texas under the present system, creates an emergency and an imperative public necessity that the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to be read on three several days be suspended, and the same is hereby suspended, and this Act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage, and it is so enacted.”
