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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The last cited case was one for partition of land; an action brought by one who had an interest therein but was not entitled to possession, and it was held that since plaintiff was not entitled to possession, the action for partition could not be maintained. The same rule is announced in Medina Oil Development Co. v. Murphy, Tex.Civ.App., 233 S.W. 333 , writ dismissed. It must be conceded that plaintiff (appel-lee) was not entitled to possession of any of the assets of the partnership at the time she instituted this suit. We therefore conclude that venue in Tar-rant County cannot be sustained under exception 13 to Article 1995.””
