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.
“Perry and Robertson had relied upon Article 776 of the 1879 Code of Criminal Procedure, providing that “[a] new trial can in no case be granted where the verdict or judgment has been rendered for the defendant.” That article eventually became Article 40.02 of the 1965 Code. Although Article 40.02, supra, was not carried over verbatim into Rule 30 of the new Rules of Appellate Procedure, effective September 1, 1986, that Rule nevertheless provides for new trial only “upon motion of an accused.” In any event, even assuming the State is currently authorized to seek a motion for new trial in a bond forfeiture matter pursuant to Article 22.10 and Tex.R.Civ. P., Rule 320 — a question we need not decide now — it is still a criminal, not a civil, proceeding.”
