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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In divorce actions the district court has the power, and indeed the duty to determine the spouses’ community property in existence at that time, and to decree a fair and equitable division of such property between the spouses. 20 T.J.2d Div. Sec. 206; Vernon’s Anno.Tex.Statute, Family Code, Sec. 3.63, V.T.C.A. As the court clearly had jurisdiction to determine whether relator’s entitlement to the retainer pay was a vested community asset, its adjudication of that issue was not void.””
