Narrative:

I was sequencing 7-8 aircraft into the dfw terminal airspace when I saw a transponder in my airspace that was not pointed out to me. The target was idented by our center computer. However, the ZHU controller never told me about the aircraft. I was working the airspace FL230 and below. The aircraft was climbing into high altitude (FL280).
