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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To support a deadly weapon finding, the State must show that appellant’s hands or feet in the manner of their use or intended use were capable of causing death or serious bodily injury. TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 1.07(a)(17)(B) (Vernon 1994). The State need not show that the hands or feet actually did cause serious bodily injury.... Furthermore, a showing that the defendant used his hands or feet in a manner capable of causing serious bodily injury, even absent the intent to do so, will support a deadly weapon finding. (Emphasis added)”
