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.
“Any officer commissioned under this section is vested with all the powers, privileges, and immunities of peace officers while on the property under the control and jurisdiction of the institution of higher education, or otherwise in the performance of his duties ...”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Perkins v. State · Angel v. State““A commissioned campus peace officer, such as Shaffer, is not, however, a peace officer for all criminal acts that might occur within his presence or within his view. His authority to act as a peace officer is limited by the terms of Section 51.203, supra. Here, pursuant to statutory authority, Shaffer was vested only with the powers, privileges, and immunities of a peace officer when he was on property under the control of or subject to the jurisdiction of Lamar University, or was otherwise acting in the performance of his official duties as a campus peace officer for Lamar University. We are unable to agree that a campus peace officer, such as Shaffer, is acting within his official duties when he attempts to enforce provisions of the Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on passageways that are located off the campus of the institution of higher education that issued him his commission to act as a campus peace officer.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Perkins v. State“when [the officer] was assaulted by appellant, [the officer] was, pursuant to the provisions of Art. 2.12 [Tex.Code Crim. Proc.Ann.], supra, a peace officer. However, we also hold that [the officer] was without lawful authority or power to make a warrantless arrest of appellant for committing a traffic offense, because he was then acting outside of his jurisdictional limits as prescribed by Section 51.-203, [Tex.Educ.Code Ann. § 51.203] supra. [[Image here]] Because [the officer] was not lawfully discharging an official duty when appellant assaulted him, the evidence is insufficient to sustain appellant’s conviction for the offense of aggravated assault on a peace officer.”
