I was working 16/86 with weather. The traffic volume began to build. Multiple aircraft were deviating; and many of them were requiring point outs to adjacent airspace. I had a D-Side. An Air Carrier was deviating and needed a point out to R08. I asked my D-Side if he was pointed out; given the aircraft was on or within a mile of the boundary when I asked. My D-Side said no and got on the line to R08 to point him out. By the time R08 answered and approved the point out; he was five miles into R08's airspace. I should have made the hand off to R08. When it auto flashed I took it back; and then told my D-Side to point him out. I should have just let R08 work him since he wound up going 20 miles into their airspace.
A ZJX Controller experienced an airspace incursion when the D-Side failed to point out traffic to an adjacent sector.
