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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The authority to appeal from an order of the Probate Court is now granted exclusively by § 5(e) of the Texas Probate Code, Tex.Rev.Civ.Stat.Ann., as amended effective June 21, 1975, which provides: ‘All final orders of any court exercising original probate jurisdiction shall be ap-pealable to the court of (civil) appeals.’ The 1975 revision of the Probate Court [sic] also amended § 28 by deleting a broader right of appeal from the Code. [Footnote omitted.] This revision was adopted subsequent to the decision in Cherry v. Reed, 512 S.W.2d 705 (Tex.Civ. App., Houston (1st) 1974, writ ref’d n.r. e.). It apparently was passed by the legislature to reconcile the somewhat inconsistent language between § 5 and § 28 of the Code.”
