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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The State relies exclusively upon the Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Neville, [459] U.S. [553], 74 L.Ed.2d 748 , 103 S.Ct. 916 (1983). Neville simply provided that a South Dakota statute which authorized introduction of such evidence was not repugnant to the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court position in Neville is that introduction of such evidence is a matter of state law. The Texas proscription is founded upon state authority independent of the Fifth Amendment. Dudley v. State, 548 S.W.2d 706 (Tex.Cr.App.1977); Casselberry v. State, 631 S.W.2d 542 (Tex.App. —El Paso 1982, PDRR); Tex. Const. art. I, sec. 10; Tex.Code Crim.Pro.Ann. art. 38.22 (Vernon 1979 and Supp.1984).” 1”

2. ““In Grounds of Error Nos. Two and Three, Appellant complains of the introduction of testimony from the arresting officer that Appellant was issued traffic citations for failure to yield right-of-way and failure to maintain financial responsibility. A description of the conduct constituting failure to yield right-of-way may be admissible on the issue of the extent to which the driver’s mental and physical faculties have been impaired by alcohol consumption. The issuance of a traffic citation is not admissible for that purpose. Nor is there any basis for introducing evidence of lack of financial responsibility. Ground of Error No. Two is sustained.””
