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 70 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"In this state the rule is well established that ordinarily bad faith or fraudulent interest [intent] is not essential to actionable fraud. Watson v. Baker, 71 Tex. 739 , 9 S.W. 867 ; Loper v. Robinson, 54 Tex. 510 ; Russell v. Industrial Transportation Co., 113 Tex. 441 , 251 S.W. 1034 , 258 S.W. 462 . The rule is further well established in this state that, where affirmative representations of fact are made and designed to be acted upon by another and he does so believing them to be true when they are false, one making the representations is liable, regardless of his knowledge of falsity or intent to deceive. * * * U. S. Gypsum Co. v. Shields, 101 Tex. 473 , 108 S.W. 1165 ; Wortman v. Young, (Tex.Civ.App.,) 221 S.W. 660 ."”
