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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““So, in the case at bar, the description of the property in suit as ‘the real property and buildings located at No. 1805 South Haskell, Dallas, Texas,’ being, as the Tilsons allege,’ the property and buildings formerly occupied by the Kallus Grocery, would doubtless be a sufficient description of. the land to render the contract enforceable, if it had been the only property owned by Hereford in that locality" (Emphasis supplied.)”
