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.
““The jury found in answer to Special Issues that the market value of the strip of land taken was $7,000.00; and that the market value of appellees’ remaining land after the taking remained the same. We have read the statement of facts and find that there is no evi- , dence that will support the jury’s finding that the market value of the land taken was as much as $7,000.00. Ap-pellee Vick’s testimony was that the market value of the land taken was $150.00 per acre, or a total of $2,896.50. He did not testify as to the length or value of the fence that was actually on the land taken, but included in his estimate the cost of fences apparently later built along the right of way. Witness' Graham testified that he figured the- ' value of the fence on the land taken at $162.30. This was the highest value ' . placed on the fence that was on the: . land taken. This amount added to the market value of the land taken, as testified to by Mr. Vick, makes a total :- of $3,058:80. The other witnesses testi- - - fied to a lesser market value for the -, land taken than the value placed there- , on by Mr. Vick. The finding of $7,- ■. 000.00 as damages for the land taken is, therefore, excessive in the amount of $3,941.20, thus requiring reversal. Rule 440, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure; Carter v. Texarkana Bus Company, 1956, 156 Tex. 285 , 295 S.W.2d 653 .””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Rector v. De Arana“In view of the condition of the record, we are unable to say that the admission of such evidence was error. In view however, of the likelihood of another trial, it is pointed out that our courts have uniformly held that prices paid for property by a condemning authority are not admissible to establish market value of the property being condemned because such sales are not free and voluntary.”
