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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Resort can be had to Section 3, of Article 2031b, only if Section 2 is unavailable. McKanna v. Edgar, supra. It was also held in that case that a plaintiff seeking to obtain substituted service under Section 3 by serving the Secretary of State must necessarily allege that the defendant ‘does not maintain a place of regular business in this State or a designated agent upon whom service may be made.’ The nonexistence of both of these conditions is a necessary prerequisite to the applicability of Section 3 because Section 2 provides that if such a place of business is maintained service may be made by serving the person in charge of such business. Not only did appellee fail to allege the absence of a place of regular business maintained in Texas by appellant, but the proof showed that in fact he did maintain such a place of business, to-wit, the apartment buildings. Under these circumstances, service on the Secretary of State was not authorized.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Carpet Corporation made two payments to Uvalde in Texas in accordance with the contract. It is our opinion that the payment of $3,473.73 in Texas determined that the foreign corporation, Carpet Corporation, had sufficient contact, ties or relations with the forum, and participated in the kind of activities in Texas so as to make it subject to the jurisdiction of the State of Texas. Such contacts, minimal though they may be on the part of Carpet Corporation, do not offend the traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. . . ””
