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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under the doctrine of official immunity, a state employee whose status or actions may be classified as quasi-judicial “ 'enjoys immunity from being personally liable as long as he acts in good faith within the scope of his authority.’” Augustine By Augustine v. Nu-som, 671 S.W.2d 112 (Tex.Civ.App. — Houston [14th Dist.] 1984, writ ref’d n.r.e.). When a state employee gathers facts and then acts, such actions are quasi-judicial in nature.”
