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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If not otherwise faulty, a charge of the court that requires the jury to find each essential element of the offense charged and comports with the legal theory presented by the State through evidence that proves every factual allegation made in the charging instrument is not fundamentally defective, for the accused has been apprised of everything that due process and due course of law mandate.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Hill v. State · Selvage v. State“"[W]here the charge of the court applying the law to the facts correctly requires the jury to find every essential element of the offense alleged in the indictment and comports with the legal theory presented by the State through evidence that proves every factual allegation made in the charging instrument, an accused who perceives some error of omission in failure of the charge to reflect one or more factual details averred must call the matter to the attention of the trial court pursuant to Articles 36.14, 36.15, or 36.16, V.A.C.C.P. for a determination of whether corrective action is appropriate, in order to preserve the point for review under a ground of error in his appellate brief. This is because unless otherwise faulty, the charge thus described does not present fundamental error."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. Burnett v. State · Edwards v. State““That this part of the charge does not include certain details of the underlying offense of theft alleged in the indictment and proved by the State, viz: ‘From said complainant [Maxine Wong], the owner of said property, without the effective consent of said complainant,’ is not enough to render it fatally defective... Even when an objection to the charge calls attention to absence of such factual details the omission is deemed harmless, e.g., Booker v. State, 523 S.W.2d 413, 416 (Tex.Cr.App.1975) ...” and cases cited therein.”
