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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The service of this notice in the manner required by this statute is indispensable to the exercise of jurisdiction by the commissioners’ court. It is a jurisdictional fact which must be affirmatively shown to sustain the jurisdiction of the commissioners’ court in making, an order establishing and directing that a public road be opened on the land of a citizen. Without proper service of such notice the action of the jury of freeholders and the order of the commissioners’ court are nullities.””
