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.

““A hypothetical question must be based upon the facts of the case. Robertson v. State, 463 S.W.2d 18 (Tex.Cr.App.1971) “The applicable rule has been stated as follows: “ ‘Counsel propounding the question is entitled to the witness’ opinion upon any combination of facts inferable from the proof. He may and usually does assume facts in accordance with his theory of the case. If the opponent desires to secure the expert’s opinion upon a different set of facts he may do so on cross-examination.’ McCormick & Ray, Evidence, § 1403, at p. 240 (2d ed. 1956).””
