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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the absence of a statement of facts, it would be presumed that all evidence necessary to authorize the judgment was before the court. It should be presumed in this case that the `citation' authorizing the judgment was exhibited to the court before judgment. The fact that it was not marked `Filed' until afterwards would only indicate a clerical omission, which would not affect the validity of the judgment. Callison v. Autry, 4 Tex. 371 .”
