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.
“(5) A presiding judge may, in his or her discretion, excuse a practicing attorney, a practicing physician, or a person who is physically infirm from jury service, except that no person shall be excused from service on a civil trial jury solely on the basis that the person is deaf or hearing impaired, if that person wishes to serve, unless the presiding judge makes a finding that consideration of the evidence to be presented requires auditory discrimination or that the timely progression of the trial will be considerably affected thereby. However, nothing in this subsection shall affect a litigant's right to exercise a peremptory challenge. (6) A person may be excused from jury service upon a showing of hardship, extreme inconvenience, or public necessity.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“After the PET-scan is conducted, the trial judge shall conduct an evidentiary hearing for the purpose of determining whether the PET-scan shows an abnormality and, if so, whether the results of the PET-scan cause Dr. Krop to change his trial testimony. If the trial judge finds in the affirmative, then a new penalty phase proceeding shall be conducted. Our remand is limited solely to this issue, and we direct that the PET-scan and hearing be conducted within sixty days from the date this opinion becomes final. During the pendency of this remand, the sentence of death in this cause shall be held in abeyance. After the trial judge makes a determination on this issue, this case shall be returned to this Court.”

We conclude that trial judges may not delegate their discretionary authority under section 40.013(5) to clerks of the court or any other official.”
