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.
“"(b) In a suit filed under this section, each consumer who prevails may obtain: "(1) three times the amount of actual damages plus court costs and attorneys' fees reasonable in relation to the amount of work expended". (Emphasis supplied)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““We agree that Art. 17.50(b)(1) does not require that the prevailing consumer have judgment for treble damages. Article 17.50(b)(1), however, permits the entry of judgment for treble damages to the prevailing consumer.””
