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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(1) The appellate court is bound by the jury’s verdict, if there is any legal evidence to support it. Wixom v. Bowers, Tex.Civ.App., 152 S.W.2d 896 . “(2) The evidence must be viewed most favorably toward the appellees in so considering motions of appellants for peremptory instruction before, and for judgment notwithstanding, after the jury’s verdict. National Life [& Accident Ins.] Co. v. Ringo, Tex.Civ.App., 137 S.W.2d 828 , writ refused.””
