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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the Texas appellate practice the higher courts have uniformly refused to enter into investigation of testimony upon an assignment of error which goes no further than to state that the verdict or judgment or matter complained of is not supported by the evidence. The assignment should state in what respect the evidence does not support the verdict or finding — the particulars in which .the evidence is insufficient — and not require .the court to examine the whole statement of facts to see if it cannot discover some defect •or weakness which the party complaining has not pointed out. or called specifically to the ■court’s attention.””
