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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The City is correct in its third issue when it argues that the standard of appeal from a hearing examiner’s award is an abuse of authority. That is the only interpretation which can be given to Chapter 143.1016© of the Texas Local Government Code, since the statute limits appeals to those situations when the hearing examiner was “without jurisdiction or exceeded its jurisdiction or [when] the order was processed by fraud, collusion, or by other unlawful means.” This type of appeal is clearly intended to differ from an appeal from a civil service board decision, which requires that the decision be supported by substantial evidence.”
