Narrative:

I was working ground control at dallas love ATCT. I saw the following: I just got done giving taxi instructions to an aircraft and identing his position when I look at the approach end of runway 13R and saw an arriving B737 passing taxiway C6. I saw the trainee and the trainer on local control looking toward the departure end. When I scanned towards the departure end of runway 13R; I saw a B737 about to pass taxiway C3 which appeared to have his main gear still on the runway. Local control did not inform the operations supervisor of the possible operational error. I got off ground control about 10 mins before the end of my shift. I did not have the opportunity to talk with the local controller about the situation until I was on my way home. Via telephone; I informed the local controller that he had to report the potential operational error within 3 hours. He said he would discuss it with the currents operations supervisor. I call my operations supervisor about the situation. He called the facility and was told by the operations supervisor on the shift that the situation was being investigated. I was never contacted about what I saw. I was told that the situation was considered a non-event.
