The undersigned hereby grants to the attorney-in-fact full power and authority

Reata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the attorney-in-fact on demand for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Form 3, Form 4, Form 5, Form 144,
Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G (including any amendments, corrections,
supplements or other changes thereto) with respect to the undersigned's holdings
of and transactions in securities issued by Reata Pharmaceuticals, Inc., unless
earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
