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.
“Article 36.14 of Tex.Code Crim.Proc.Ann. requires the trial judge to deliver to the jury a charge which distinctly sets forth the law applicable to the case. [Section 8.04] states that voluntary intoxication is not a defense to the commission of crime. Thus, when evidence came in which might have led the jury to believe that appellant was intoxicated at the time of the offense and this might have contributed to her defense of lack of knowledge of the offense, it was proper for the court to instruct the jury on the appropriate law. In view of the evidence before the jury, this was not error, [cite omitted] The jury was free to find that appellant had no knowledge of the accident as long as they did not attribute lack of knowledge to intoxication.”

State“Except as otherwise provided by this section, in all felony cases where the punishment is assessed by the Court it may fix the period of probation without regard to the term of punishment assessed, but in no event may the period of probation be greater than 10 years or less than the minimum prescribed for the offense for which the defendant was convicted.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrencee.g. Chauncey v. State“... Although Article 42.12, Section 3, V.A.C.C.P., allows imposition of a probationary term without regard to the term of punishment assessed, as long as the probationary term is not greater than ten years, we believe that it does not allow the imposition of a probationary term in excess of the maximum term of confinement allowable for the offense.
