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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Matthews v. State, 80 Tex.Cr.R. 177 , 189 S.W. 491 , this Court, in sustaining the trial court’s refusal to permit defendant to prove by two witnesses his good reputation for truth and veracity, said: “The rule is well established that, if the State had attacked his general reputation for truth and veracity by any witness, or had attempted to impeach him by proving contradictory statements, then he would have been permitted to have introduced such proof; but, until such contingency arises, the fact that he gives testimony disputing that offered by the State would make no such testimony admissible.” [Citations omitted]”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Mehaffey v. State“A person acts recklessly, or is reckless, with respect to circumstances surround ing his conduct or the result of his conduct when he is aware of but consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the circumstances exist or the result will occur. The risk must be of such a nature and degree that its disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that an ordinary person would exercise under all the circumstances as viewed from the actor’s standpoint.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Jordan v. State“When we read appellant’s testimony in light of Sec. 6.03(a), supra, we find no evidence that appellant acted in a reckless manner. Indeed, appellant testified that he shot the deceased in order to ward off the latter’s attack. The trial court did not err in refusing to submit a charge on involuntary manslaughter.”
