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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are asked to reverse because the court failed to file findings of fact and conclusions relating to alleged jury misconduct and communications of counsel in the hearing on their motion for new trial as requested by appellants under Rule 296, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. That Rule applies to a ‘trial by the court.’ In Eichelberger v. Rankin, Tex.Civ.App., 278 S.W.2d 278 , writ ref. n. r. e., Justice Norvell wrote that under the Rule ‘a trial judge is not required to file findings and conclusions as to matters raised upon a motion for new trial in a jury case, Connor v. Heard & Heard, Tex.Civ.App., 242 S.W.2d 205 .’ See also Viking Construction Co. v. Beaird, Tex. Civ.App., 337 S.W.2d 699, 704 . We are urged to overturn the rule. We think it is sound.””
