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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““No particular form is required in this state to convey title to land. Leal v. Leal, Tex.Civ.App., 4 S.W.2d 985 , affirmed by the Supreme Court in [Tex.Com.App.], 14 S.W.2d 797 ; Baker v. Wescott, 73 Tex. 129 , 11 S.W. 157 . In Harlowe v. Hudgins, 84 Tex. 107 , 19 S.W. 364, 365 , it is said: ‘No precise technical words are required to be used in creating a conveyance. The use of any words which amount to a; present contract of bargain and sale is all sufficient. Whatever may be the' inaccuracy of expression or the inaptness of the words used in an instrument, in a legal view, if the intention to pass the title can be discovered, the courts will give effect to it, and construe the words accordingly.’ ””
