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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is now the law under Rule 434 that no judgment shall be reversed unless the error complained of probably caused rendition of an improper judgment and such rule has enlarged the doctrine of ‘harmless error’, so as to cast upon the complaining party the burden of showing at least that error probably resulted to his prejudice. American Nat. Bank of Austin v. Sheppard, Tex.Civ.App., 175 S.W.2d 626 , error refused. “We do not find, in this case,- the findings of the jury indicate that the testimony was of such a prejudicial nature as to have affected such findings.””
