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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Contrary to the position taken by the minority, we find the indictment sufficient. In Ex parte Cannon, 546 S.W.2d 266 (Tex.Cr.App.1976) (State’s motion for rehearing), this Court set out the requisites for a theft indictment under V.T.C.A. Penal Code, Section 31.03 (1974).... Accord: Reynolds v. State, 547 S.W.2d 590 (Tex.Cr.App.1977) (State’s motion for rehearing). In applying the criteria established in Cannon, and reaffirmed in Reynolds , we find that the indictment sufficiently set forth all the necessary elements of theft. The ‘with the intent to deprive the owner’ element was placed at the end of the allegations. However, we fail to find that such drafting was ‘fundamental error.’ (p, 750)”
