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 58 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The case of Mensing v. Engelke, 67 Tex. 532 , seems to recognize the doctrine that the writ binds an indebtedness accruing between the service of the writ and the date of the answer. It does not change the result if the debt is not due or fully earned at the date of the service of the writ if it shall have fully accrued at the date of the answer.””
