United

urinalysis tests, their results, and
expert
testimony explaining them is sufficient to permit a factfinder to find
beyond a
reasonable doubt that an accused used contraband drugs; the factfinder
may draw
a permissible inference of wrongfulness from a circumstantial showing
of drug
use based on such evidence; this evidence is legally sufficient as long
as the
defense evidence of innocent ingestion could be reasonably disbelieved
by the
factfinder).

based upon an urinalysis and to support the inferences of knowing and

the
underlying scientific methodology and the significance of the test
result, so
as to provide a rational basis for the inferences of knowing and
wrongful use).
