Narrative:
Working arrival radar. A tower requests a release from gky airport; 270 heading and climbing to 3;000. I approve it. The aircraft finally departs five minutes and some number of seconds later; at which point I forgot about the release. I was under the impression that type of coordination is only good for 3 minutes. The aircraft departing climbs westbound into the flight path of the arriving [large transport]. They got about 700 feet vertically and then the [large transport] responded to a TCAS RA.well; the stale coordination was obviously a factor. But I also will probably not approve any releases climbing to 3;000 in the future. I will only approve climbing to 2;000 at least when I am that busy. Also it wasn't that I was that busy; but the fact that it was three runways worth of arrivals to dfw so I was pushing all my base traffic down as soon as possible to help the other sector get their traffic down and in.
