Narrative:

Received call from flight safety manager feb/xa/00 reference possible heading deviation on flight jan/xa/00 from iah to dfw. I flew that leg numerous times during the month. The only flight I remember being odd, we flew over dal, made a right turn around to dfw. We may have also had a late handoff from center. I do not remember what date any of this occurred.
