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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is an element of the offense of criminal attempt that the actor do an act which amounts to more than mere preparation. “The indictment in the pending cause alleges an act (i. e. ‘shooting’) but fails to allege that such act is one that is beyond mere preparation. It was part of the burden of proof for the State to establish that the act committed was beyond mere preparation.” V.T.C.A., Penal Code, Sec. 15.01(a), reads: “A person commits an offense if, with specific intent to commit an offense, he does an act amounting to more than mere preparation that tends but fails to effect the commission of the offense intended.””

See 1 Branch’s Ann.P.C., 3rd ed., p. 634.””
