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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“in the event of default in the payment of any installment of principal or interest when due, the holder of this Note may declare the entirety of the Note evidenced hereby, immediately due and payable without notice, and failure to exercise said option shall not constitute a waiver on part of the holder of the right to exercise the same at any other time. ****** Each maker, surety and endorser waives demand, grace, notice, present- meat for payment and protest, and agrees and consents that this Note and the Liens securing its payment may be renewed, and the time of payment extended without notice, and without releasing any of the parties. [Emphasis added.]”

The note expressly provided that notice of intention to accelerate maturity, demand and presentment for payment were waived. Art. 5937, Sec. 82, Vernon’s Ann.Tex.Stats. provides that presentment for payment is dispensed with by express waiver. This waiver is valid and effective.”
