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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although only one Texas case 18 has discussed whether a distributorship agreement is a “contract for the sale of goods” under the UCC, the overwhelming majority of jurisdictions that have considered the question have concluded that distributorship agreements are subject to the UCC. We will follow the majority rule in holding that the dominant factor or essence of each of the alleged agreements was a contract for the sale of goods, and thus each was subject to the UCC.”
