I don't really know too much about this case, but I did find the appeal where she was granted more DNA testing in 2008 (TX Court of Appeals), but I cannot find anything about what the results were. So, I am thinking that the results must have been negative towards her, remember the State already has a conviction. So, if the results were negative, she wouldn't be trying to get a new trial because the State and Court would smack her down with the DNA results IMHO.
Below is the appeal link if you want to see it:

More forensic testing granted in Darlie Lynn Routier child death case
For the second time in five months, convicted child killer Darlie Lynn Routier has been granted the right to more forensic testing of evidence in her effort to prove that an intruder killed her two sons in 1996.
This month, a federal judge granted additional testing of a bloody sock; new forensic testing of a butcher knife presented in the original trial as the murder weapon, as well as new testing of fibers from another knife; and permission to run four fingerprints through a national database.
