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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The judgment against Bezner was not a judgment of foreclosure. It was a simple money judgment for the balance due after allowing Bezner credits for payments made. True, appellee in its original petition plead for foreclosure; but the mere institution of a suit for foreclosure without prosecuting the suit to a judgment of foreclosure does not constitute an election of remedies under the circumstances here present. Texas Building & Mortgage Co. v. Rosenbaum, Tex.Civ.App., 159 S.W.2d 554, 558 ; Seamans Oil Co. v. Guy et al., 114 Tex. 42 , 262 S.W. 473 ; Lewis et al. v. Powell, Tex.Civ.App., 205 S.W. 737 .””
