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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We do not regard this case as being moot. Under the provisions of Article 6573a, § 15 the decision of this case would have some effect upon appellee’s subsequent application for a license * * * and as appellee evidently desired to engage in the real estate business, something more than a mere abstract question of law is presented.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The law is settled in this state that on a statutory appeal from an order of the Texas Liquor Control Board or its administrator cancelling a beer license or permit because of some violation of the Liquor Control Act, the burden of proof is upon the party attacking it to show that the order is invalid. Bradley v. Texas Liquor Control Board, Tex.Civ.App., 108 S.W.2d 300 ; Texas Liquor Control Board v. Jones, Tex.Civ.App., 112 S.W.2d 227 ; Texas Liquor Control Board v. Warfield, Tex.Civ.App., 110 S.W.2d 646 ; Id., Tex.Civ.App., 111 S.W.2d 862 ; Texas Liquor Control Board v. Floyd, Tex.Civ.App., 117 S.W.2d 530 ; Texas Liquor Control Board v. Blacher, Tex.Civ.App., 115 S.W.2d 1030 ; Texas Liquor Control Board v. Tschoerner, Tex.Civ.App., 117 S.W.2d 121 . Such orders are not only made prima facie valid by statute, but being official acts there is a presumption in favor of their legality; and the one attacking them upon the ground that there was not sufficient evidence before the Board or administrator to authorize the cancellation of the license must show that fact on an appeal from the order can-celling such license. Texas Liquor Control Board v. Floyd, supra; Humble Oil & Refining Co. v. Railroad Comm., Tex.Civ.App., 112 S.W.2d 222 .””
