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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“I am convinced that Section 22.011(f) requires the State merely to prove that, if the actor were to actually marry or purport to marry his victim, or if he were to live with his victim under the appearance of being married, then he would commit the offense of bigamy under the provisions of Section 25.01. On its face, the provision plainly requires no more. Though to my mind some of the language in the text of the Court's opinion remains ambiguous, the Court's clarification in footnote 9 satisfies me that the Court's understanding is the same as my own. Id. at 343 .”
