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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Deadly weapon’ means: “(A) a firearm or anything manifestly designed, made or adapted for the purpose of inflicting death or serious bodily injury; or “(B) anything that in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing death or serious bodily injury.” V.T.C.A., Penal Code, § 46.01 (Chapter Definitions), provides in part: “In this Chapter “(1.) * * * “(3) ‘Firearm’ means any device designed, made, or adapted to expel a projectile through a barrel by using the energy generated by an explosion or burning substance or any device readily convertible to that use. Firearm does not include antique or curio firearms that were manufactured prior to 1899 and that may have, as an integral part, a folding knife blade or other characteristics of weapons made illegal by this chapter.
