More on how this was screened

Other nearby adverse language concerned unrelated precedent or the parties' arguments and rulings, rather than Brinkmann.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

2,196 later cases cite Reginald R. Brinkmann, Jr. v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner; 115 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
