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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In this State the right to reasonable bail pending appeal is found in Tex.Code Crim.Pro. Ann. art. 44.04 (Vernon Supp.1982). We hold that to deny a hearing upon a convicted defendant's motion for reduction of allegedly excessive bail constitutes an arbitrary and unreasonable action as does the denial of habeas corpus relief without a hearing.”
