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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The summary judgment rule goes much further by permitting the parties to support their motions for summary judgment, as well as their opposition thereto, with affidavits, depositions, requests for admissions, and other ‘summary judgment evidence.’ It is this summary judgment evidence, and not the pleadings, that is looked to by the court to determine the existence or nonexistence of issuable facts. Moreover, it has been held that there is a duty on the part of a court to ‘pierce the pleadings’ in determining the question of the existence or nonexistence of issuable facts. Sparkman v. McWhirter, 263 S.W.2d 832 (Tex.Civ.App., Dallas 1953, writ ref’d).””
