Narrative:

Cpr X was issued a clearance from 20 mi east of lfk VOR direct to efd direct to brazoria county airport. The aircraft was pointed out to 2 additional high altitude sectors because adjacent controller would not accept handoff on aircraft. Aircraft was descending to FL240. Aircraft leveled at FL240. Requested lower. I appreqed lower with low altitude controller. 16000' was approved. I issued descent and switched frequency. In descent the aircraft violated the industry low airspace west/O approval. I was notified by facility personnel that a system deviation had occurred. The facility has a new order re: pointouts that is very ambiguous concerning responsibilities during pointouts.
