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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The person ordered committed may appeal the Order of Temporary Hospitalization by filing written notice thereof with the County Court within five (5) days after the Order of Temporary Hospitalization is entered.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Munoz v. State · State v. Lodge“We conclude that this evidence is insufficient to support the jury’s findings because it does not give the factual basis on which the medical opinions are based. A person suspected of mental illness ought not to be deprived of liberty on the basis of expert opinion alone. Such an opinion, although constitutionally required in Texas, as pointed out above, is not in itself enough to deprive a person of his liberty. If the conclusion of a psychiatrist were sufficient for a civil commitment, no necessity would exist for a court, with or without a jury, to make a judicial determination of the facts necessary for involuntary hospitalization.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrencee.g. Lopez v. State“Unless at the time set for hearing on the Application there are on file with the county court two (2) Certificates of Medical Examination for Mental Illness stating that the proposed patient is mentally ill and requires observation and/or treatment in a mental hospital, the county judge shall dismiss the Application and order the immediate release of the proposed patient if he is not at liberty.”
