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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The testimony by Cielo Dorado’s attorney was conclusory, but it came in without objection. We hold that constituted some evidence of proper notice under the DTPA. Again, assuming proper notice was Cielo Dorado’s issue, Certainteed was required to object to its non-submission. _ Certain-teed made no such objection, and there is some evidence to support a finding that notice was properly given under the DTPA. In these circumstances, Tex. R.Civ.P. 279 requires that the omitted issue of notice under the DTPA be deemed as found by the trial court in support of its judgment.”
