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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The constitutional right to assistance of counsel attaches when adversary judicial proceedings are initiated against an accused, Kirby v. Illinois, 406 U.S. 682 , 92 S.Ct. 1877 , 32 L.Ed.2d 411 (1972), and the government has committed itself to prosecute. 406 U.S. at 689 , 92 S.Ct. at 1882 . The defendant is entitled to the presence of counsel at critical confrontations with the state to assure that his right to a fair trial will be protected. See United States v. Wade, 388 U.S. 218, 226-27 , 87 S.Ct. 1926, 1931-32 , 18 L.Ed.2d 1149 (1967). But we disagree with the analysis in Forte , concluding that it is a critical stage in the proceedings when a police officer requests a breath test. Preparatory steps in the state’s gathering of evidence, such as taking fingerprints or a blood sample, have been held not to constitute a critical stage in the prosecution of the accused. Wade, 388 U.S. at 227-28 , 87 S.Ct. at 1932-33 ; see also Yates v. State, 679 S.W.2d 534, 536 (Tex.App.—Tyler 1984, pet. ref’d).”

State“Because the appellant's refusal to take the breath test was not constitutionally protected (under the Sixth Amendment to the Federal Constitution), and because this was not a critical stage of the prosecution against the appellant, we hold that he was not entitled to consult an attorney before deciding whether to refuse to take the breath test.”
