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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has uniformly held that an order or judgment inflicting punishment not authorized is void. State ex rel. Vance v. Hatten, 600 S.W.2d 828 (Tex.Crim.App. 1980); State ex rel. Curry v. Gray, 599 S.W.2d 630 (Tex.Crim.App.1980); Ex parte McIver, 586 S.W.2d 851 (Tex.Crim.App.1979). We hold that both the order placing appellant on probation and the order revoking probation and sentencing appellant to 10 years confinement are void.”
