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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Effective September 1, 2011, Section 12.42(e) was repealed and the following language was added to subsection (d): “A previous conviction for a state jail felony punishable under Section 12.35(a) may not be used for enhancement purposes under this subsection.” Under this language, a state-jail felony, even if it has been enhanced, cannot be used to enhance a subsequent felony offense. The distinction between the former “punished under Section 12.35(a)” language and the current “punishable under Section 12.35(a)” is significant here because Appellant was not punished under Section 12.35(a) but his prior offense was punishable under that section. Had he committed the current offense after this amendment, it would not have been proper for his prior state-jail felony to be used for enhancement.”
