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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It not appearing from the statement submitted to us that the execution of the deed in question, as alleged in the petition, was denied in any of the defendant’s answers, we are of opinion that it was not necessary for the plaintiff to read the answer in evidence in order to establish the conveyance. The pleadings established it.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Fletcher v. Grinnan““When a fact alleged in the petition is denied, either generally or specially, by the defendant in his answer, the plaintiff must prove it, although the defendant may, in another plea, aver the same fact. We have so held at the present term of this court. Silliman v. Gano, 90 Tex. 637 [ 39 S. W. 559 , 40 S. W. 391 ].””
