State, 127 S.W.3d 327, 334-35 (Tex.App.—Austin 2004, no pet.)

2005Mata , 46 S.W.3d at 904 . (footnote: 3) We note that although appellant complains in her point that the State’s expert was “short” on the Mata factors required to establish the expert’s reliability for purposes of giving retrograde extrapolation testimony, even a liberal construction of her point does not include the complaint that the State’s expert was unqualified to answer the question under rule 702 because appellant has not challenged the retrograde extrapolation testimony that the expert later provided.
