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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““.... [A]ppellant contends fundamental error occurred when the complete voir dire examination of the jury was not recorded by the court reporter even though he filed a motion requesting such a record be made pursuant to Art. 40.-09(4), V.A.C.C.P. He relies on Cartwright v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 527 S.W.2d 535 , and Ex parte Jones, Tex.Cr.App., 562 S.W.2d 469 . Although the record does contain a motion for such a record, there is no indication that the motion was ever brought to the trial court’s attention. The mere filing of such a motion does not constitute ‘an affirmative request for the court reporter to take the record under Article 40.09,’ Presley v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 538 S.W.2d 624, 626 , so as to invoke the rule of Cartwright and Jones. The motion must be called to the attention of the court before it will constitute an affirmative request. The ground of error is overruled.” P. 119.”
