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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The burden was upon [the county] to prove that the contract incurred an obligation on the part of the county in excess of the revenues for a fiscal year, and no such proof appears in the record. Under the lease the county became obligated to pay rental only currently as the office space is available for use, there is no showing such obligation would exceed revenues for any fiscal year, and the quorum court in 1979 appropriated sufficient funds to pay the rent on the office for all of 1979.”
