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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““An action brought which alleges a claim to relief under Section 17.50 . .. may be commenced in the county in which the person against whom the suit is brought resides, has his principal place of business, or has a fixed and established place of business at the time the suit is brought or in the county in which the alleged act or practice occurred or in a county in which the defendant or an authorized agent of the defendant solicited the transaction made the subject of the action at bar.” [emphasis added].”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“(1) Prove that one of the defendants is a resident of the county of suit; (2) Prove a cause of action against the resident defendant; and (3) Allege a joint cause of action against the resident and non-resident defendants or one so intimately connected with the cause of action alleged against the nonresident defendant that the two may be joined to avoid a multiplicity of suits.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““. . . that plaintiff, in order to prove that defendant had done business in the county of suit for purposes of Section 17.56 of the DTPA, had to show that defendant had performed either a series of acts in the county of suit for the purpose of realizing pecuniary benefit, or a single act with the intention of initiating a series of such acts.””
