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

1. ““We find that [appellant] waived any alleged defects in the original adjudication proceedings by failing to move for an adjudication of guilt within thirty days. To hold otherwise, would enable others similarly situated to accept the benefits of deferred adjudication up to periods of ten years and then, after violating that probation, launching an appeal based on alleged defects in proceedings at the original hearing. This, we feel, would not serve the purpose of the deferred adjudication law nor the criminal justice system.””
