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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The RTC filed a response to Ammons’ motion for summary judgment and incorporated a memorandum of law in support of its response that was served on all parties and the trial court contemporaneously with its response. It is undisputed that the RTC’s motion in response and memorandum of law in support of the response were in ‘writing’ and ‘before’ the trial court at the summary judgment hearing. Moreover, the motion itself, by its language, expressly incorporated the memorandum of law. We find the RTC’s motion in response and supporting memorandum of law constitutes the type of ‘written motion, answer or other response’ contemplated by rule 166a(e). See S. McConnell v. Southside Indep. School Dist., 814 S.W.2d 247, 248 (Tex.App.-Austin 1991, writ granted) (Rule 166a allows a summary judgment mov-ant to set out the specific grounds for summary judgment in a brief served on all parties contemporaneously with the motion itself); see also Tex.R.Civ.P. 1 (rules are to be given liberal construction).”
