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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The personal representative in Texas does not acquire the authority to speak on behalf of the decedent’s estate however until the Probate Court issues letters testamentary or letters of administration. See Tex.Prob.Code §§ 178, 183. Thus, there can be no appearance at the first meeting by “the debtor” in circumstances such as those sub judice until such letters have been issued. It may well be necessary to continue the first meeting to afford the personal representative a fair opportunity to obtain such letters from the state probate court, and that is what needs to be done in this particular case.”
