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.
“There was evidence tending to show that Frances Oliphint had never qualified as administratrix of the estate. Letters of administration, it appears, were duly issued to her, and the evidence indicates that she acted and was recognized by the probate court as the duly authorized administratrix of the estate, and the defendants in their pleadings allege that the estate is still open and that she is the administratrix. Her authority cannot be collaterally called in question concerning acts done by her under such circumstances. Poor v. Boyce, 12 Tex. 440 , 449.”
