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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appeal is perfected in a criminal case by giving timely notice of appeal; ... Such notice shall be sufficient if it shows the desire of the defendant to appeal ...; but if the judgment was rendered upon his plea of guilty or nolo conten-dere ... and the punishment does not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant and his attorney, in order to prosecute an appeal for a nonjurisdic-tional defect or error that occurred prior to entry of the plea the notice shall state that the trial court granted permission to appeal or shall specify that those matters were raised by written motion and ruled on before trial. Tex.R.App. P. 40(b)(1) (emphasis added).”
