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.
““When a case is tried to the court, as was this one, findings of fact by the court are equivalent to a jury verdict. The general rule is that such findings will support a judgment if there is any evidence of probative value to support them. Oats v. Dublin Nat. Bank, 127 Tex. 2 , 90 S.W.2d 824 ; Corn v. First Texas Joint Stock Land Bank, Tex.Civ.App., 131 S.W.2d 752 , writ refused.””
