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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . .A justiciable controversy exists between parties asserting protecta-ble, present rights. E. g., Cowan v. Cowan, 254 S.W.2d 862, 865 (Tex.Civ.App.—Amarillo 1952, no writ). Therefore, there must be a real controversy between litigants which would be actually determined by the judgment sought. Board of Water Engineers v. City of San Antonio, supra at 724. The burden of establishing justiciable controversy is on the moving party. Reuter v. Cordes-Hendreks Coiffures, Inc., supra.””
