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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[4] The Court of Civil Appeals correctly held in this case as follows: `In the consideration of this case we have carefully borne in mind that the purpose of endowing the city with police power is to subserve the general welfare. If it appear from the terms of the ordinance or is established by the evidence as a matter of law that it does not do so, then the legislative act is void. City of West University Place v. Ellis, 134 Tex. 222 , 134 S.W.2d 1038 ; Simms v. City of Sherman, Tex.Civ.App., 181 S.W.2d 100 ; Page v. City of Portland, 178 Or. 632 , 165 P.2d 280 .' [ 227 S.W.2d 286, 293 .]”
