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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Ajppellant was entering a plea of guilty to an unadjudicated offense as well as to the charge of burglary of a habitation. Since we have held that a plea of “true” to convictions alleged for the purpose of enhancement is sufficient to establish such convictions, Latta v. State, 507 S.W.2d 232 (Tex.Cr.App.1974); Graham v. State, 546 S.W.2d 605 (Tex.Cr.App.1977), it would therefore appear that the evidence here is sufficient to show a plea of guilty, or an admission, to the unadjudicated offense which is sufficient to allow the trial judge to take it into consideration and to bar the prosecution of this offense in McLennan County.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Perea v. State“(a)An individual may, with the consent of the attorney for the state, admit during the sentencing hearing his guilt of one or more unadjudicated offenses and request the court to take each into account in determining sentence for the offense or offenses of which he stands adjudged guilty. (b) Before a court may take into account an admitted offense over which exclusive venue lies in another county or district, the court must obtain permission from the prosecuting attorney with jurisdiction over the offense. (c) If a court lawfully takes into account an admitted offense, prosecution is barred for that offense, (emphasis added)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Escobedo v. State“Primarily, it should be noted that the statute is drawn in such a manner as to give the defendant charged with the crime the sole option of “cleaning the slate” and barring further prosecution for offenses that are taken into consideration in the adjudication of punishment.”
