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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * we have no power, nor has the district court, to make the districts, as the commissioners’ court has a discretion in the matter which will not be interfered with by the courts when exercised in a reasonable and fair manner. But until the division of the county into precincts is accomplished in a reasonably fair and just manner, with due regard to the convenience of the people, the courts will not hesitate to grant relief.””
