The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“The power and authority granted this Court is to review ‘decisions of the courts of appeals.’ Article V, Sec. 5, Constitution of the State of Texas; Articles 4.04, See. 2, 44.01 and 44.45, V.A.C.C.P. A decision flows from ‘the reason for such decision’ set forth in a written opinion of a court of appeals. Article 44.24, id. Thus, the discretionary function of [this] Court is to determine whether ‘the reason for such decision’ is correct in law. However, the majority expressly declines to address the reason given by the court of appeals for its decision to reverse the judgment of conviction in this cause, although review was granted for that very purpose. Instead, the majority favors the State with a sort of de novo determination of a claim that has not been presented to and decided by the court of appeals. Laday v. State, 685 S.W.2d 651, 653 (Tex.Cr.App.1985) (Clinton, J., Concurring Opinion.”
