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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Insofar as they hold or appear to hold that the failure of court appointed counsel, or said counsel and the accused, to waive in writing the 10 days allowed appointed counsel to prepare for trial is ground to set aside an otherwise valid conviction by habeas corpus, or other post conviction or collateral attack, Ex parte Austin, Tex.Cr.App., 410 S.W.2d 439 ; Ex parte Dowden, Tex.Cr.App., 408 S.W.2d 512 ; Ex parte Brown, Tex.Cr.App., 404 S.W.2d 590 ; and Ex parte Cooper, Tex.Cr.App., 388 S.W.2d 939 , are overruled.””

2. ““It does not follow that the failure of appointed counsel to waive in writing the 10 days allowed him to prepare for trial is sufficient grounds for post conviction relief, if'it appears that such failure did not result in injury to the defendant such as would deprive him of a fair trial or deny him a constitutional right. “There are many statutes the violation of which, if properly raised, would be ground for a new trial or reversal on appeal but would not be ground for relief in a post conviction proceeding.””
