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.
““Under the rule, well recognized in the decisions of this state, this court must sustain the action of the trial court, ‘unless a very clear abuse of discretion is shown.’ Goodwin v. American National Bank of Shreveport (Tex Civ. App.) 236 S. W. 781 ; Hutson v. Cade et al. (Tex. Civ. App.) 217 S. W. 438 . From the latter case is taken the excerpt: ‘Where the application is not statutory, a party is not entitled to continuance as a matter of right; but such application is addressed to the sound discretion of the court, and will not be revised unless a pronounced abuse of such discretion be shown. T. & P. Ry. Co. v. Hall et ux., 83 Tex. 675 , 19 S. W. 121 [Sup.] ; Wiggins v. Fleishel, 50 Tex. 57 ; T. & P. Ry. Co. v. Hardin, 62 Tex. 367 ; I. & G. N. Ry. Co. v. Fisher [Tex. Civ. App.] 28 S. W. 398 , writ of error refused in 93 Tex. 710 , 29 S. W. xxi . In support of the action of the court in refusing the continuance, every presumption of its correctness consistent with the record is to be indulged. I. & G. N. Ry. Co. v. Newburn, 94 Tex. 310 , 60 S. W. 429 .’ ””
