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.
““A fixture has been defined, in the case of Hutchins v. Masterson, 46 Tex. 551 , 26 Am.Rep. 286 , as follows: “ ‘The weight of the modern authorities establishes the doctrine that the true criterion for determining whether a chattel has become an immovable fixture, consists in the united application of the following tests: “ ‘1st. Has there been a real or constructive annexation of the article in question to the realty? “ ‘2nd. Was there a fitness or adaptation of such article to the uses or purposes of the realty with which it is connected? “ ‘3rd. Whether or not it was the intention of the party making the annexation that the chattel should become a permanent accession to the freehold? — this intention being inferable from the nature of the article, the relation and situation of the parties interested, the policy of the law in respect thereto, the mode of annexation, and purpose or use for which the annexation is made. “ ‘And of these three tests pre-eminence is to be given to the question of intention to make the article a permanent accession to the freehold, while the others are chiefly of value as evidence as to this intention.’ See Moody v. Aiken, 50 Tex. 65 ; Willis & Bro. v. Morris, 66 Tex. 628 , 1 S.W. 799 , 59 Am.Rep. 634 .””
