How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• agreeing that “[R]ule 91a’s use of the word ‘must’ creates a mandatory duty”
• “Dismissal is certainly appropriate when Texas has rejected the pleaded cause of action—or has rejected the viability of that action under the circumstances pleaded by the plaintiff”
• “rule 91a does not allow this Court to address anything other than an appellants’ petition … or to assume anything other than the best of that petition”
• “We are of the opinion that this case must therefore be judged under the constraints of rule 91a, since that is the procedural framework which the City’s motion invoked, upon which the appellants relied, and by which the trial court decided this case.”
