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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) A statement is material, regardless of the admissibility of the statement under the rules of evidence, if it could have affected the course or outcome of the official proceeding. (b) It is no defense to prosecution under Section 37.03 of this code (Aggravated Penury) that the declarant mistakenly believed the statement to be immaterial. (c) Whether a statement is material in a given factual situation is a question of law.”
