Narrative:
I was working a busy departure session at dfw and released a departure off of dal in a north flow going to hou. The aircraft departed and I instructed the aircraft to climb and maintain 8000 and proceeded to turn the aircraft southbound and forgot to climb the departure. I sent the aircraft to ft worth center and then realized I was in another controller's airspace and he had traffic above me at 9000 descending to 5000. I pointed out my error to the flight engineer controller and the center climbed the dal departure with the best rate out of 10,000. There never was a loss of separation but the scare will live with me forever. I had no control of the situation and other people did my separating.

Title: DEP CTLR VECTORED AN ACFT AND STOPPED ACFT AT 8000. ACFT ENTERED ANOTHER POSITION'S AIRSPACE WITHOUT COORD. OPERATIONAL DEVIATION.
Narrative: I WAS WORKING A BUSY DEP SESSION AT DFW AND RELEASED A DEP OFF OF DAL IN A NORTH FLOW GOING TO HOU. THE ACFT DEPARTED AND I INSTRUCTED THE ACFT TO CLIMB AND MAINTAIN 8000 AND PROCEEDED TO TURN THE ACFT SBND AND FORGOT TO CLIMB THE DEP. I SENT THE ACFT TO FT WORTH CENTER AND THEN REALIZED I WAS IN ANOTHER CTLR'S AIRSPACE AND HE HAD TFC ABOVE ME AT 9000 DESCENDING TO 5000. I POINTED OUT MY ERROR TO THE FE CTLR AND THE CENTER CLIMBED THE DAL DEP WITH THE BEST RATE OUT OF 10,000. THERE NEVER WAS A LOSS OF SEPARATION BUT THE SCARE WILL LIVE WITH ME FOREVER. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE SITUATION AND OTHER PEOPLE DID MY SEPARATING.
