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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Conversion consists of the wrongful exercise of dominion or control over another’s property in denial of or inconsistent with the other’s rights in that property. Waisath v. Lack’s Stores, Inc., 474 S.W.2d 444, 446 (Tex.1971). An action for conversion of money will lie where the money is ‘(1) delivered for safe keeping; (2) intended to be kept segregated; (3) substantially in the form in which it is received or an intact fund; and (4) not the subject of a title claim by the keeper.’ Edlund v. Bounds, 842 S.W.2d 719, 727 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1992, writ denied).”
