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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is fundamental that one may not complain of errors in a judgment which do not affect him injuriously or which merely affect the rights of others. Shell Petroleum Corporation v. Grays, 131 Tex. 515 , 114 S.W.2d 869, 870 (1938). The right of appeal rests only in an aggrieved party to a lawsuit. Texas Employers Ins. Ass’n v. Howell, 107 S.W.2d 391, 392 (Tex.Civ.App., Dallas 1937, error dism.).” (Emphasis added.)”
