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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * that where a claimant enters into possession of a tract of land in privity with or in recognition of the true owner’s title, he cannot thereafter perfect a claim of title or defense under the statute as against the true owner without bringing to his notice a repudiation of the recognition and the assertion of an adverse claim, and the ‘right to shield his possession under the statute or to carve an estate, dates only from his repudiation’. Thompson v. Richardson, Tex.Com.App., 221 S.W. 952, 953 ; 2 Tex.Jur. 144, par. 75, and authorities cited.” Great Southern Life Ins. Co. v. Dodson, Tex.Civ.App., 155 S.W.2d 379, 381 ; Carmichael v.
