Narrative:

I departed small aircraft X off runway 9 at eyw airport. I then switched him to nqx approach VFR controller. Within seconds nqx called over and said small aircraft X was on an IFR flight plan and we didn't get his IFR release. Nqx was advised that they never told us that he was IFR. (Nqx gives the IFR clearance to IMC aircraft and then tells eyw that they have their clearance. This is by letter of agreement).
