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.
“A plea bargain is an agreement made between the prosecution and the defendant; the trial judge’s role is to approve or reject the agreement. See Ex parte Williams, [ 637 S.W.2d 943 (Tex.Crim.App.1982) ]. It is not’ the trial judge’s function to modify the terms of the plea bargain agreement.”
