The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““... A law which changes the punishment for a crime after the crime has been committed is an ex post factor law as prohibited by Tex.Const., Art. I, Sec. 16, Vernon’s Ann.St. and U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 10, ...” Ex parte Tate, 471 S.W.2d 404 (Tex.Cr.App.1971).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Barnes v. State · Ex Parte Bonham“We emphasize that our holding today does not suggest any constitutional infirmity in imprisonment of a defendant with the means to pay a fine who refuses or neglects to do so. Nor is our decision to be understood as precluding imprisonment as an enforcement method when alternative means are unsuccessful de spite the defendant’s reasonable efforts to satisfy the fines by those means; the determination of the constitutionality of imprisonment in that circumstance must await the presentation of a concrete case.”
