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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the [plaintiffs] had settled their cause of action against the State, section 101.106 would bar an action against [the employee]. Section 101.106 does not bar an action against the State because the plain language of the statute does not allow such an interpretation.”
