Narrative:
Dfw approach control gave vectors for a tight and high ILS to runway 35R. The direction of landing had just been changed from south lndgs. Approach requested to advise when field in sight for a visual. Due to clouds and haze, visual on runway 35R was not seen until rolling out on the high final. 'Visual contact runway 35R' was stated by me and cleared visual approach to runway 35R was given 'traffic on runway 35C' was given by approach. A steep final was performed and normal safe landing made. Approach never changed us to tower, which we realized after clearing the runway when preparing for taxi. No traffic conflict was involved and all was normal. After contacting tower for runway crossing of runways 35C and 35L tower stated 'we've been looking for you.'

Title: B727-200 ACFT TURNED IN ON HIGH, TIGHT FINAL, APCH CTLR DIDN'T TELL FLC TO CONTACT TWR FOR LNDG CLRNC AND THEY FORGOT TO OBTAIN LNDG CLRNC. THEY REALIZED IT AFTER LNDG WHEN SWITCHING FREQS.
Narrative: DFW APCH CTL GAVE VECTORS FOR A TIGHT AND HIGH ILS TO RWY 35R. THE DIRECTION OF LNDG HAD JUST BEEN CHANGED FROM S LNDGS. APCH REQUESTED TO ADVISE WHEN FIELD IN SIGHT FOR A VISUAL. DUE TO CLOUDS AND HAZE, VISUAL ON RWY 35R WAS NOT SEEN UNTIL ROLLING OUT ON THE HIGH FINAL. 'VISUAL CONTACT RWY 35R' WAS STATED BY ME AND CLRED VISUAL APCH TO RWY 35R WAS GIVEN 'TFC ON RWY 35C' WAS GIVEN BY APCH. A STEEP FINAL WAS PERFORMED AND NORMAL SAFE LNDG MADE. APCH NEVER CHANGED US TO TWR, WHICH WE REALIZED AFTER CLRING THE RWY WHEN PREPARING FOR TAXI. NO TFC CONFLICT WAS INVOLVED AND ALL WAS NORMAL. AFTER CONTACTING TWR FOR RWY XING OF RWYS 35C AND 35L TWR STATED 'WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.'
