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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It has been the well settled law of this State since the decision by the Supreme Court of the case of State v. Thurmond, 37 Tex. 340 , that no jurisdiction is vested in the appellate courts directly to review a contempt proceeding. The only manner in which such a proceeding and judgment thereon can be reviewed is by means of habeas corpus. Hudgens v. Yancey, Tex.Civ.App., 284 S.W. 347 ; Borrer v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 63 S.W. 630 ; Lawley v. State, 117 Tex.Cr.R. 14 , 36 S.W.2d 1035 , and cases there cited.””
