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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While Tex.Code Crim.Proc.Ann. art. 33.03 (Vernon Supp.1988) requires that a defendant be personally present at the trial, the absence of the defendant when only questions of law are considered in chambers will not cause reversal unless the presence of the defendant bears “a reasonably substantial relationship to the opportunity to defend.” Mares v. State, 571 S.W.2d 303 (Tex.Crim.App.1978). As in Mares , the appellant’s absence occurred when only questions of law were considered.”
