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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Texas appellate courts have repeatedly held that a serious and immediate question concerning the children’s welfare requires proof of an imminent danger to the children’s physical or emotional well-being, or, stated another way, a dire emergency. “Unless it was shown, and the trial court found, that the children were in imminent danger of physical or emotional harm and that immediate action was necessary to protect [them], the trial court [is] without authority to deny the writ.””
