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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly operates another’s boat, airplane, or motor-propelled vehicle without the effective consent of the owner.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. McLemore v. State · Caro v. State“The information in the instant case tracks the language of the statute and thus charges an offense. Appellant’s contention regarding the description of the motor vehicle relates to the certainty of the allegations and notice. Complaints regarding the sufficiency of an indictment or information must be raised in the trial court. [Citations omitted.] Since appellant did not move to quash the information in the present case, or object thereto, his complaint as to its sufficiency cannot be considered on appeal.”
