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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[S]ince it is the father’s legal duty to support his minor children under the express provisions of our statutes, and since such duty cannot be discharged by flight from one state, or one jurisdiction, to another, our view is that the public policy of the State of Texas demands that the defendant’s obligation (while residing in the State of Texas) to support his minor children in the State of Ohio be performed as fully as if the defendant had incurred such obligation in our state. ( 239 S.W.2d at 173 ) [Emphasis added]”
