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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the original decree is to be modified or changed it is necessary that the evidence show that since that decree conditions have so changed as to- require a new decree depriving appellant of the custody of the minors. Martin v. Martin, Tex.Civ.App., 132 S.W.2d 426 ; Pearson v. Pearson, Tex.Civ.App., 195 S.W.2d 188 ; Roberts v. Tippett, Tex.Civ.App., 239 S.W.2d 859 . That is to say the evidence must show that since the original decree conditions have so changed that it can reasonably be said that it would be injurious to the welfare of the minors to leave their custody as originally adjudicated. Neal v. Medcalf, Tex.Civ.App., 244 S.W.2d 666 .””
