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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant’s fourth point of error asserts that the trial court erred in overruling his objection to the prosecutor’s closing argument regarding appellant’s demeanor. An objection raised on appeal will not be considered if it varies from the objection made at trial. Euziere v. State, 648 S.W.2d 700, 703 (Tex.Cr.App.1983). Appellant’s objection at trial was that the argument was a comment on appellant’s failure to testify. His ground of error on appeal is that the argument went outside of the record. The Court of Criminal Appeals found this same mismatching of objection to be insufficient to preserve error in Bouchillon v. State, 540 S.W.2d 319, 322 (Tex.Cr.App.1976). Appellant has failed to preserve error for review. Appellant’s fourth point of error is overruled.”
