Narrative:
The aircraft had filed to fly over tij; then UJ7 ppe. Tij is just outside my airspace by about 2 miles on the mexican side of the border. This routing that aircraft X had filed is unusual routing since it turns sharply to the east for 50 miles. Normally in this situation; the mmzt center controller will issue alternate routing instructions to let the aircraft to fly a more direct route. Since they almost always adjust unusual routing; I did not check what the aircraft had filed past tij and thought it was clear of all us airspace. Once the aircraft had crossed the border into mexico; my d-side dropped the data tag. The aircraft then turned east along his route; flying along the boundary of sector 31's airspace without an approved point-out. The sector 31 controller noticed the limited data block flying along his boundary; and brought it to my attention.I need to be sure to double check the routing after the first fix outside my airspace to ensure that I make all proper point-outs before dropping the data tag.

Title: ZLA Controller reported an aircraft they assumed would continue on a southbound heading and turn after leaving the US. The aircraft was not pointed out to the adjacent sector causing an airspace deviation.
