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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A sale in accordance with the law and the provisions of a deed of trust transfers equitable title to the purchaser in the absence of a deed. Pioneer Building & Loan Ass’n v. Cowan, 123 S.W.2d 726, 730 (Tex. Civ. App.—Waco 1938, writ dism’d judgm’t cor.). Furthermore, the failure to record a written deed does not divest the purchaser of title. Simonds v. Stanolind Oil & Gas Co., 134 Tex. 332 , 114 S.W.2d 226, 235 (1938); Clarkson v. Ruiz, 140 S.W.2d 206, 208 (Tex. Civ. App.—San Antonio 1940, writ dism’d judgm’t cor.). We conclude that the sale was complete when the foreclosure was conducted in accordance with the law and the provisions of the deeds of trust and Black accepted PNL’s bid.”
