Narrative:
On this flight from ewr to lax, we received a clearance (on the ground at ewr) that differed slightly from our flight plan. We did not catch the change and subsequently turned to an incorrect heading at etx VOR. ATC called this to our attention and we made the correction. As far as we know, air traffic separation was not compromised.
