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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It is understood and agreed that the shares hereby subscribed for and issued by the association, as well as all accumulations thereon, are to be held by the association for our joint account, as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, as at common law, and not as tenants in common; that the funds represented by said shares may be withdrawn by either party hereto before or after the death of either, subject to the laws of the State of Texas, and to the by-laws of the association, and either party is authorized to pledge the same as collateral security to a loan and either may draw the dividends thereon."”
