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.

““In Acker v. State, 421 S.W.2d 398, 402 (Tex.Cr.App.1967), this court noted that pleadings in another law suit have been held to be inadmissible as hearsay, citing Granata v. Mothner, 44 S.W.2d 817 (Tex.Civ.App.1931). In Acker the contents of the divorce petition of Acker’s wife were held to be hearsay and inadmissible in prosecution for murder of the wife’s former husband. See also Drake v. State, 65 Tex.Cr.R. 282 , 143 S.W. 1157 (1912).””
