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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The status of property as separate or community is fixed by the facts of acquisition at time thereof. Janes v. Gulf Production Company (Tex.Civ.App.) 15 S.W.(2d) 1102 ; Allen v. Allen, 101 Tex. 362 , 107 S.W. 528 ; Creamer v. Briscoe, 101 Tex. 490 , 109 S.W. 911 , 17 L.R.A.(N.S.) 154, 130 Am.St.Rep. 869 ; Welder v. Lambert, 91 Tex. 510 , 44 S.W. 281 ; Stiles v. Hawkins (Tex.Com.App.) 207 S.W. 89 . And the fact that part of the consideration is paid out of the community estate or the separate estate of the other spouse, or that improvements are placed thereon by such estates, does not alter that status. Such payments, while they may constitute an equity or a charge for which the party contributing may be entitled to reimbursement in an action of equitable partition, create no title or interest in the land as such. Dakan v. Dakan, 125 Tex. 305 , 83 S.W.(2d) 620 , and cases cited.””
