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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““On the fact that the date line of this deed shows that it was executed at Beaumont, Tex., and the deed begins '‘State of Texas, County of Jefferson,’ and recites that both the grantor and grantee are citizens of Jefferson County, Tex., the presumption follows that this land is located in Jefferson County, Tex.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““An examination of this description shows that the location of this land is not given, both the state and county being omitted. This omission is fatal to the deed. Kellner v. Randolph, 207 S. W. 169 ; Pfaff v. Cilsdorf, 173 Ill. 86 , 50 N. E. 670 ; 2 Devlin on Deeds, 1915, 1916.””
