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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The appointment of a receiver without notice to the adverse party is one of the most drastic remedies known to the courts and should be exercised only in extreme cases where the rights therefor are clearly shown, and then in the exercise of great caution by the court, Keep ’Em Eating Co. v. Hulings, Tex. Civ. App., 165 S. W. 2d 211 ; 36 Tex. Jur. 108, and cases there cited, and cause therefor must be shown either in a verified bill, petition or complaint or by affidavit, as no other evidence is admissible and facts and circumstances, as distinguished from mere opinions and conclusions, must not only be set forth but they must be alleged and verified positively and not upon information and belief.””
