MAJORITY OPINION
WANDA McKEE FOWLER, Justice.
Over her plea of not guilty, a judge found appellant, Patty Busby Carter, guilty of possession of less than one gram of a controlled substance, namely cocaine. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.115 (Vernon Supp.Í999). The judge sentenced her to nine years imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. Appellant appeals on one point of error. We affirm the trial court judgment because we conclude that the bare minimum information was introduced to qualify a chemist as an expert.
