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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is also a well-settled rule that a party is entitled to have submitted to the jury in an affirmative form any group of facts sufficient in law to establish a cause of action or a ground of defense, and based on proper pleadings; and that refusal of a request for such submission is reversible error. Our Supreme Court so held in St. Louis S.W. Ry. Co. v. Hall 98 Tex. 480 , 85 S.W. 786 , and in that case the judgment of the trial court was reversed for failure to give a requested instruction embodying facts brought out in the evidence introduced by the defendant in rebuttal of plaintiff's allegations charging it with negligence,”
