Narrative:

ATC facility: ZFW. Location: dfw 070 degree radial 36 NM. On intercept of the 072 degree radial on course, center called and said we were north of course. We were in the turn at that time and informed ATC of our turn. We were 1/2 of a DOT displaced on our instruments. We intercepted the 072 degree radial and proceeded on course. No aircraft were in conflict with our path.
