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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As I see it, the Legislature had authority to adopt and establish an election code without repealing the penal provisions of existing statutes and to provide a punishment by fine or imprisonment for the violation of certain of its provisions, without any reference in the caption to its penal provisions. Ex parte Jimenez, 159 Tex. 183 , 317 S.W.2d 189, 193 ; Doeppenschmidt v. International and G. N. R. Co., 100 Tex. 532 , 101 S.W. 1080 ; Johnson v. Martin et al., 75 Tex. 33 , 12 S.W. 321 . “The provision in the caption that nothing in the election code shall be construed as repealing or in any way affecting the legality of any penal provision of the existing law does not suggest to me that the statute contains no penal provision. This is especially true because one or more of the acts for which a fine or imprisonment is provided in the election code do not appear to have been punishable as offenses under existing statutes.” 3 357 S.W.2d at 756 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Section 35 of Article III of the Constitution Vernon’s Ann.St., prohibits the inclusion in a bill of any subject not expressed in the title. “Reliance is had by the State upon the opinion of the Supreme Court of this State in Ex parte Jimenez, 159 Tex. 183 , 317 S.W.2d 189 , which upheld the constitutionality of that portion of Article 9.02 which related to the holding of a court of inquiry to expose fraudulent electoral practices. The question of the validity of a penal provision of the Election Code was not before the court in that case, and the same is not authority in the case at bar.” 357 S.W.2d at 755 .”
