Narrative:

Dfw approach called earlier in the day and coordinated all dallas love arrs inbound; route over the knead arrival at 9000 ft versus the jen arrival at 11000 ft; except certain jets. Most flts inbound are to dfw. I had a flight to dal and thought the aircraft was inbound to dfw. I handed off the aircraft on the jen arrival at 11000 ft when the aircraft should have been on the knead arrival at 9000 ft. This is easy to miss and I did not realize he was a dallas love arrival. I had also forgotten the inbound restr. I should have written the restr on my scope to remind me of the request. We do not get many inbound jets to dallas love and this is easy to forget. Another controller told me of my mistake after I had been relieved from the position. I believe if the computer were configured to automatically assign the correct arrival then this would help the controller remember to issue the correct routing.

Title: ZFW CTLR DESCRIBES INCIDENT WHEN HE OR SHE FAILED TO ASSIGN AGREED UPON STAR TO A DAL ARR ACFT.

Narrative: DFW APCH CALLED EARLIER IN THE DAY AND COORDINATED ALL DALLAS LOVE ARRS INBOUND; RTE OVER THE KNEAD ARR AT 9000 FT VERSUS THE JEN ARR AT 11000 FT; EXCEPT CERTAIN JETS. MOST FLTS INBOUND ARE TO DFW. I HAD A FLT TO DAL AND THOUGHT THE ACFT WAS INBOUND TO DFW. I HANDED OFF THE ACFT ON THE JEN ARR AT 11000 FT WHEN THE ACFT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE KNEAD ARR AT 9000 FT. THIS IS EASY TO MISS AND I DID NOT REALIZE HE WAS A DALLAS LOVE ARR. I HAD ALSO FORGOTTEN THE INBOUND RESTR. I SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN THE RESTR ON MY SCOPE TO REMIND ME OF THE REQUEST. WE DO NOT GET MANY INBOUND JETS TO DALLAS LOVE AND THIS IS EASY TO FORGET. ANOTHER CTLR TOLD ME OF MY MISTAKE AFTER I HAD BEEN RELIEVED FROM THE POS. I BELIEVE IF THE COMPUTER WERE CONFIGURED TO AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGN THE CORRECT ARR THEN THIS WOULD HELP THE CTLR REMEMBER TO ISSUE THE CORRECT ROUTING.
