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.

1. ““When one or more of the alleged tort feasors has settled with Claimant, the rights and obligations of the remaining Defendants are provided by Subdivisions (d) and (e) of Section 2, Article 2212a, V.A.T.S.” The Court went on to hold at page 590: “In this case, the hospital was Party-Defendant in the suit and was non-suited or dismissed after settlement with the Claimant. The existence and the amount of its negligence was not submitted to the jury. Section (e) is not applicable. Section (d) was applicable to the fact of this case....” “Section (e) provides that if an alleged tort feasor makes a settlement with a Claimant, but nevertheless is joined as a Party-Defendant, at the time of the submission of the case to the jury and his percentage of negligence is found by the jury, the settlement is a complete release of the portion of the judgment, attributable to the percentage of negligence found on the part of that joint tort feasor.””
