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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Formerly, a guilty plea that was voluntarily and understandably made waived all nonjurisdictional defects, including any claimed deprivation of federal due process. Helms v. State, 484 S.W.2d 925, 927 (Tex.Crim.App.1972). This same principle applied to a no contest plea. Fierro v. State, 437 S.W.2d 833, 834 (Tex.Crim.App.1969). The “Helms rule” was abrogated in part by the 1977 proviso added to Tex.Code CRIM.PROC.Ann. art. 44.02 (Vernon 1979). This amendment allowed the right to appeal in cases where (1) there is a negotiated recommendation as to punishment, and (2) the punishment actually assessed does not exceed the recommendation. [Citations omitted].”
