Narrative:
Airline xx had landed by runway 35R and had been instructed to hold short of runway 35C and monitor tower on 126.55. Ground east was working another airline xa on 121.65. Airline xx apparently was on 121.65 and mistook the clearance for airline xa as his own. Airline xx crossed by runway 35C without ATC clearance. To the best of my knowledge, FAA has not filed any runway incursion, operational error paperwork on this incident. I believe the following to be contributing factors: 1) airline xx on wrong frequency. 2) ground east did not maintain awareness of aircraft on frequency/position. 3) dfw ATCT preparing for evaluation does not follow up on incident and file appropriate paperwork, therefore, invalidating statistical data on controller/pilot performance.

Title: ATCT COORD AT DFW OBSERVED A B737 CROSS A RWY WITHOUT AUTH.
Narrative: AIRLINE XX HAD LANDED BY RWY 35R AND HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 35C AND MONITOR TWR ON 126.55. GND E WAS WORKING ANOTHER AIRLINE XA ON 121.65. AIRLINE XX APPARENTLY WAS ON 121.65 AND MISTOOK THE CLRNC FOR AIRLINE XA AS HIS OWN. AIRLINE XX CROSSED BY RWY 35C WITHOUT ATC CLRNC. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, FAA HAS NOT FILED ANY RWY INCURSION, OPERROR PAPERWORK ON THIS INCIDENT. I BELIEVE THE FOLLOWING TO BE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 1) AIRLINE XX ON WRONG FREQ. 2) GND E DID NOT MAINTAIN AWARENESS OF ACFT ON FREQ/POS. 3) DFW ATCT PREPARING FOR EVALUATION DOES NOT FOLLOW UP ON INCIDENT AND FILE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK, THEREFORE, INVALIDATING STATISTICAL DATA ON CTLR/PLT PERFORMANCE.
