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.
“From these authorities, this Court concludes that a motion for new trial based on insufficiency of the evidence presents a legal rather then a factual question, and the trial court must apply the same legal test employed on appeal. That is the trial court must decide, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, whether any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Carlsen v. State, 654 S.W.2d 444, 448 (Tex.Cr.App.1983) (opinion on rehearing). If the evidence meets this standard, it is an abuse of discretion for the trial court to grant the motion for new trial.”

Stacy“[I]n ruling on a motion for new trial challenging the sufficiency of the evidence, the trial court is not to consider whether it believes or disbelieves any witness, but is merely to determine whether, looking at the evidence in a light most favorable to the verdict, there is any evidence which the trier of fact could have believed in arriving at its verdict.”
