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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Whether the theory of prosecution is sole or joint possession, the evidence must affirmatively link the accused to the contraband in such a manner and to such an extent that a reasonable inference may arise that the accused knew of the contraband’s existence and that he exercised control over it. Waldon v. State, supra [ 579 S.W.2d 499 (Tex.Cr.App.1979) ]; Wilkes v. State, supra [ 572 S.W.2d 538 (Tex.Cr.App.1978)]; Harrison v. State, supra [ 555 S.W.2d 736 (Tex.Cr.App.1977)]. This affirmative link is established by showing additional facts and circumstances which indicate the accused’s knowledge and control of the contraband. Waldon v. State, supra; Harrison v. State, supra; Long v. State, 532 S.W.2d 591 (Tex.Cr.App.1976).”
