The Corpus Christi and Houston courts of appeal have also been grappling with the issue of juror questioning. Velasquez v. State, 815 S.W.2d 842, 845-46 (Tex.App. — Corpus Christi 1991) (procedure permitted); Nichols v. State, 815 S.W.2d 306, 307-08 (Tex.App. — Houston [1st Dist.] 1991, pet. granted); Buchanan v. State, 807 S.W.2d 644, 645-46 (Tex.App. — Houston [14th Dist.] 1991, pet. granted); Allen v. State, 807 S.W.2d 639 (Tex.App. — Houston [14th Dist.] 1991, pet granted).
