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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While appellant urges several propositions, in the last analysis, the controlling question presented is whether there was sufficient evidence before the court to sustain a limitation title to the strip in appellees. The elements essential to title by limitation are not only set out in the statutes, but have become so well settled in adjudicated cases that any extended discussion of them would be superfluous. See R.C.S. Arts. 5510, 5513, 5514, 5515; 2 Tex.Jur., §§ 3 and 4, pp. 11-14. The possession necessary to acquire such title must be open, adverse, peaceable, continuous for the required period of time, visible, hostile and exclusive.””
