Narrative:

Flew the 230 degree radial out of sax vice the J80 airway. Usual routing is the 230 degree radial, J-6. As we realized our mistake and started to correct toward J80 center asked us for routing and then cleared us direct to east texas. No other communications regarding this occurred. No traffic conflicts were noted.
