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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

“"... bodily injury that creates a substantial risk of death or that causes death, serious permanent disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ."”

“"A threat can be communicated by action or conduct as well as words. Most v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 386 S.W.2d 537 ; May v. State, 172 Tex.Cr.R. 490 , 358 S.W.2d 379 . In the instant case, however, there was no evidence of any threat by any means that rose to the level of the quoted statutory definition. No weapons were used; the prosecutrix was not mistreated to the extent that serious bodily injury might have resulted, and no verbal or written threats of such nature were communicated. "It is necessary, therefore, that the judgment be reversed. See Zamora v. State, supra [Tex.Cr.App., 449 S.W.2d 43 ]; May v. State, supra; cf. Banks v. State , [Tex. Cr.App.] 530 S.W.2d 940 ; Twomey v. State, [Tex.Cr.App.] 520 S.W.2d 784 ; Lewis v. State, [Tex.Cr.App.] 503 S.W.2d 806 ; DeVonish v. State, [Tex.Cr.App.] 500 S.W.2d 800 ; Broadway v. State, [Tex. Cr.App.] 418 S.W.2d 679 ; Most v. State, supra." 542 S.W.2d at 166 .”
