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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““An ‘insufficient evidence’ point has come to mean in the terminology of our procedural law substantially the same as a point that a finding is so contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence as to be manifestly wrong. Such a point is not applicable to the question whether an issue should be submitted to the jury. It is the ‘no evidence’ point which is applicable to the submission of issues. (Citing cases.)” Nutter v. Dearing, 400 S.W.2d 346, 350 (Tex.Civ.App.-Dallas 1966, writ ref’d n. r. e. at 402 S.W.2d 889 , Tex.1966).”
