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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The county judge cannot discriminate between parties upon equal footing, even though the Act rightfully gives the county judge wide latitude and discretion in making his ruling, yet the order cannot discriminate against an applicant unless there is reasonable basis for it. In order to deny a license, there must be some factual basis to show an unusual condition, in substance such as set out in Section 19(b) of Art. 667, Penal Code, as well as failure of the applicant to meet any one of the requirements as set out in the Act.””
