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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[In Kitchens ], the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that, “It is appropriate where the alternate theories of committing the same offense are submitted to the jury in the disjunctive for the jury to return a general verdict if the evidence is sufficient to support a finding under any of the theories submitted.” [Kitchens, 823 S.W.2d] at 258, citing Aguirre v. State, 732 S.W.2d 320, 326 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1987) (op. on reh’g).”
