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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Everything should be stated in an indictment which is necessary to be proved.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Bryant v. State · Jeffers v. State“It is clear that it was necessary for the State to prove the manner in which appellant caused bodily injury to complainant, in order to meet its burden of proof. While allegation of the manner and means of causing bodily injury under Section 29.02(a)(1) is not a fundamental requisite of charging the offense for purposes of invoking the district court’s jurisdiction, [compare Posey v. State, 545 S.W.2d 162 (Tex.Cr.App.1977)], appellant’s motion to quash entitled him to the allegation of facts sufficient to bar a subsequent prosecution for the same offense and sufficient to give him precise notice of the offense with which he was charged.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Phelps v. State“On the 3rd day of March, 1981, in Galveston County, Texas, I did then and there while in the course of committing theft and with intent to appropriate and maintain control of property of Jeannette Garcia and with intent to deprive the said owner Jeanette Garcia of said property, did then and there by using and exhibiting a deadly weapon, to wit: a knife, intentionally and knowingly threaten and place Jeannette Garcia in fear of imminent bodily injury and death.”
