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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “Notwithstanding Rules 404 and 405, Texas Rules of Criminal Evidence, evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts committed by the defendant against the child who is the victim of the alleged offense shall be admitted for its bearing on relevant matters, including: (1) the state of mind of the defendant and the child; and (2) the previous and subsequent relationship between the defendant and 'the child.”

  2. “Contrary to appellant’s suggestion, article 38.37 does supersede application of rule 402. By enacting article 38.37, the legislature in effect determined that, in certain sexual abuse cases, evidence of “other crimes, wrongs, or acts” committed by the accused against the child victim are relevant and admissible under rule 402. See Tex.Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 38.37, § 2 (Vernon Pamph. 1998) (noting that evidence shall be admitted for its bearing on relevant matters including state of mind and parties’ previous and subsequent relationship).”
