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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Recently, this court, in Acosta v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 403 S.W.2d 434 , pointed out that under the opinion in the Roviaro case the name of the informer must be disclosed only in those cases where the informer "`had taken a material part in bringing about the possession of certain drugs by the accused, had been present with the accused at the occurrence of the alleged crime, and might be a material witness as to whether the accused knowingly" committed the act.'"”
