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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the newly discovered evidence was unknown to the movant at the time of the trial; (2) the failure to discover the evidence was not due to want of diligence; (3) the evidence was sufficiently material to bring about a different result in another trial; and (4) the evidence is admissible and is not merely cumulative, corroborative, collateral, or impeaching.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Adams · State v. Davenport“Texas law has not established circumstances or conditions under which a judicial official might properly be compelled to articulate his reasons for a decision in a particular case, and we do not propose to state such a rule here. However, we conclude that if such a rule were to be established, the better rule would require, at the very least, a threshold showing of improper conduct on the part of the judge that would justify compelling him to testify.”
