*334YÁÑEZ, Justice,
concurring.
I agree with the majority in overruling appellant’s point of error and affirming the conviction, however I add my voice to that of the panel in Thurman v. State, 861 S.W.2d 96, 101-02 (Tex.App. — Houston [1st Dist.] 1993, no pet.), in which the court expressed concern in the concurring opinion that the unrestricted use of grand jury subpoenas to obtain medical records is a serious threat to privacy. I join the panel in Thurman in urging legislative review and enactment of reasonable limits upon the use of grand jury subpoenas for things as intimate as medical records.
