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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““An offense is a lesser included offense if: “(1) it is established by proof of the same or less than all the facts required to establish the commission of the offense charged; “(2) it differs from the offense charged only in the respect that a less serious injury or risk of injury to the same person, property, or public interest suffices to establish its commission; “(3) it differs from the offense charged only in the respect that a less culpable mental state suffices to establish its commission; or “(4) it consists of an attempt to commit the offense charged or an otherwise included offense. “Amended by Acts 1973, 63rd Leg., p. 968, ch. 399, Section 2(A), eff. Jan. 1, 1974.””
