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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Another statement of the requirement (where A is the defendant as to whom venue in the county is established and B the defendant pressing a plea of privilege) is that there ‘must be pleadings and proof of (1) a joint cause of action’ against A and B ‘in which’ B ‘must necessarily be joined in order for’ plaintiff ‘to secure the full relief to which he might be entitled in the suit against’ A; ‘or (2) that’ B has ‘an interest in the suit which could be affected by any decree completely adjudicating the rights of’ plaintiff and A; ‘or (3) that no effectual decree could be rendered without joining’ A and B.””
