Narrative:

After landing runway 17C at dfw, we turned off at taxiway a. Ground gave clearance to cross runway 17R on taxiway a, then taxi via taxiway K to gate. I did not hear via taxiway K, just taxi to gate. I taxied over taxiway a and there was another aircraft coming the other way. We got nose-to-nose and had to be towed. I missed taxi via taxiway K, and I believe ground missed that we were parking on other side of field. Taxiway K does not go to the spot we needed. My mistake for not hearing taxiway K and assuming taxi route.
