RAMEY, Chief Justice,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent for the reason that the State’s improper questions, the subject of Appellant’s second point of error in the majority’s opinion, inquiring about the source of his controlled substance in one prior conviction, was not harmless, as it ultimately produced admissions by the Defendant that he, his family and those in his environment were deeply involved in drug-related activities. Harris v. State, 790 S.W.2d 568 (Tex.Cr.App.1989). I would hold this evidence harmful, reverse the conviction and remand the case for a new trial.
