Narrative:
ATC cleared us to fly a heading to intercept the dfw 134 degree radial to resume the arrival to dfw. I read back, 'intercept the dfw 134 degree radial to resume...' then, later, the next controller asked why we were north of the inbound radial. I explained that we realized the arrival radial is the 124 degree, but that the previous controller issued, and I read back, the 134 degree radial. Nothing more was said by the controller. No conflicts occurred.
