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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This charge is somewhat obscure, but contains no element of affirmative error. Hence, in addition to the exception reserved by plaintiff, it devolved upon him to tender a special charge clarifying the definition. G. C. & S. F. Ry. Co. v. Conley (Tex. Com. App.) 252 S. W. 737, 738 ; Id., 113 Tex. 473 , 481, 260 S. W. 561 , 32 A. L. R. 1183. The plaintiff not having tendered such special charge, and the charge in itself not presenting affirmative error, this objection is overruled.””
