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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In Parish v. State, 145 Tex.Cr.R. 117 , 165 S.W.2d 748 (1942), the court held that where the second count only of the two count indictment was submitted to the jury, failure to submit the first count had the same effect as if such count had been quashed, and ‘jeopardy’ attached on such count, since failure to submit was tantamount to a ‘dismissal’ of such count. See also Black et al. v. State, 143 Tex.Cr.R. 318 , 158 S.W.2d 795 (1942). “And in Deisher v. State, 89 Tex.Cr.R. 467 , 233 S.W. 978 (1921), it was held that where the second count of the indictment was abandoned and the court submitted only the first count, the defendant cannot on a subsequent trial be prosecuted on the abandoned count. See also Johnson v. State, 97 Tex.Cr.R. 658 , 263 S.W. 924, 927 (1924); Gilliam v. State, 131 Tex.Cr.R. 8 , 96 S.W.2d 86 (1936); Mizell v. State, 83 Tex.Cr.R. 305 , 203 S.W. 49 (1918).””
