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.
“Appellant has a right to have this court consider every question raised by him and such was done in the original opinion and, likewise, each and every question is reconsidered on the motion, but it is not mandatory, practical or advisable to discuss in written opinions each and every question raised in all cases, especially when they have heretofore been definitely decided in the opinions of the court. The legislature certainly was aware of Fox when it enacted Article 44.24(c), supra, as it provided that an abbreviated opinion may be written only”
