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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"As this corollary rule was explained in Allen v. State, 474 S.W.2d 480, 482 (Tex. Cr.App.1972), the error of accepting a conditional plea of guilty does not arise merely because the plea was entered after the denial of a pretrial motion if `[t]here was no agreement, no stipulation nor was it ever mentioned that appellant entered his plea ... subject to or in reliance upon his motion [that was denied].' If the plea was entered with such an agreement or understanding that the merits of the motion would be preserved for appeal, then the trial court was not authorized by state law to accept such a plea. Kilpper v. State, 491 S.W.2d 117 (Tex.Cr.App.1975); Killebrew v. State, 464 S.W.2d 838 (Tex.Cr.App. 1971); Chavarria v. State, 425 S.W.2d 822 (Tex.Cr.App.1968). As a matter of constitutional law a guilty plea cannot be said to have been voluntary if it was induced by an agreement, approved by the Court, that a question could be appealed, when that agreement cannot be fulfilled."”
9 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Gomez v. State · Christal v. State“"THE COURT: One thing I want to stress before getting into the punishment stage: if I follow the recommendation, I will go lower than the recommendation and you will have no right of appeal in connection with your guilty plea; but you will have on the Speedy Trial. "MR. GREEN: Thank you. "THE COURT: Is that part straight? "MR. WOOTEN: I understand. "THE COURT: You have no right of appeal without my consent. I would like to have the questions answered, too. "MR. GREEN: Thank you, Your Honor. "(Whereupon proceedings concluded.) "It could scarcely be more clear that there was an arrangement, approved by the court, which induced the appellant to plead guilty in the belief that he could appeal the issue on his rights under the Speedy Trial Act. The trial court was not authorized to receive this plea, and the plea cannot be said to have been made knowingly and voluntarily. On remand the appellant must be allowed to replead. "The judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded." (Emphasis supplied.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Morgan v. State“"`MR. GREEN: Your Honor, I believe at this time we are reserving our appellate rights on the Speedy Trial issue. Mr. Wooten would now like to plead guilty to the charge pending in this cause. "`THE COURT: Is that right, Mr. Wooten? "`MR. WOOTEN: Yes, Your Honor. "`THE COURT: You understand that by pleading guilty, you are not any which way waiving any right you have in connection with Speedy Trial. "MR. WOOTEN: Yes, sir.'”
