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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is a presumption in favor of the regularity of official acts, and when a public official discharges or rtndertakes to discharge a duty with which he is charged by law, it will be presumed, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that he did so rightfully and in a lawful manner, and that he acted within, and not in excess of, his power and authority.” Blanks v. Raford, Tex.Civ.App., 188 S.W.2d 879, 882 , and authorities there cited.”
