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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We overrule appellant’s contention that because of the provision of the contract to the effect that his employment as manager was at the will of the corporation which was not bound to employ him for any specific length of time, the restrictive covenant in question which was not to take effect until after his employment was ended, was without consideration and therefore unenforceable. This identical question was decided adversely to appellant’s contention in the case of Krueger, Hutchinson and Overton Clinic v. Lewis, Tex.Civ.App., 266 S.W.2d 885 , affirmed 153 Tex. 363 , 269 S.W.2d 798 . See also McAnally v. Person, Tex.Civ.App., 57 S. W.2d 945 (Writ Ref).””
