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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]e are guided by the principle that we must construe rules on briefing liberally. Anderson v. Gilbert, 897 S.W.2d 783, 784 (Tex.1995). “[A] substantial compliance with these [briefing] rules will suffice in the interest of justice.” Tex.R.App. P. 74(p). Specifically, points of error should be construed liberally “in order to adjudicate justly, fairly and equitably the rights of the litigants.” Williams v. Khalaf, 802 S.W.2d 651, 658 (Tex.1990). “A point is sufficient if it directs the attention of the appellate court to the error about which complaint is made.” Tex.R.App. P. 74(d). The reviewing court “should consider the parties’ arguments supporting each point of error and not merely the wording of the points.” Anderson, 897 S.W.2d at 784 .”
