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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A warranty only refers to the interest conveyed, and the grantor will not be es-topped to assert another interest in the land subsequently acquired. Talley v. Howsley (Tex.1943) 142 Tex. 81 , 176 S.W.2d 158 at p. 160 . That is to say, the estoppel does not apply to any interest after-acquired which was not purportedly granted. Clark v. Gauntt (1942) 138 Tex. 558 , 161 S.W.2d 270 opinion adopted. The estoppel cannot operate to vest in the grantee a greater estate than the deed itself would have conveyed. Chace v. Gregg (Tex.1895) 88 Tex. 552 , 32 S.W. 520 .”
