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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The recitations in the instrument entitled ‘Order Revoking Probation’ are not sufficient that the instrument may also serve as the sentence in this case. It does not reflect that the appellant was present when the sentence was imposed, as required by Article 42.02, V.A.C.C.P. and see Garbs v. State, [supra].” (Emphasis added.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Casias v. State““There appears no fixed or inflexible form to be used for the sentence. The one mandatory provision is that it ‘shall be pronounced in the presence of the defendant * * *.’ Art. 768, C.C.P. [Now Art. 42.03].””
