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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Because of the many decisions of this Court on this point, we are compelled to classify such error as “grievous error.” The proper procedure to be followed is set out in Crawford v. State, [ 480 S.W.2d 724 (Tex.Crim.App.1972) ]. In Crawford v. State, op.eit., this Court stated the following: “The procedure to be followed is to permit the opposing party to test the qualification of the witness before he testifies as to the defendant’s reputation ... if the witness is permitted to first give his opinion and it is then determined that he was not qualified to give such opinion, harm which cannot be cured may be done.” For the very obvious reason that was stated in Crawford, Id., the voir dire examination should always occur outside the jury’s presence.”

Such matters come within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Board of Pardons and Paroles and the Governor of Texas, and are of no concern to you.”
