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.
“"While the court could have continued the hearing and delayed exercise of its discretion to continue, modify or revoke the probation, as was done in Traylor v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 561 S.W.2d 492 , and apparently in Sappington v. State , Tex. Cr.App., 508 S.W.2d 840 , that option is not what occurred in this case."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““What did the trial judge do here? Did he continue the appellant on probation or did he revoke probation on June 10, 1977? He orally stated he was revoking probation, but he entered no written revocation at the time and did not impose sentence. In fact, he stated to the appellant that he hoped he didn’t have to take that action. . . Under any circumstances, on August 17, 1977, the appellant’s conditions of probation were modified and he was released subject to such conditions. He was not sentenced, and appellant’s case was not disposed of as if there had been no probation. In effect what the court did was to continue the appellant on probation.””

State““If the defendant has not been released on bail, on motion by the defendant the court shall cause the defendant to be brought before it for a hearing within 20 days of filing of said motion, and after a hearing without a jury, may either continue, modify, or revoke the probation. If probation is revoked, the court may proceed to dispose of the case as if there had been no probation . . .” (Emphasis supplied.)”
