As a former airline employee, the above answer is the best. Go to the local police department and file a police report. That is the only way to get home. Since this is your return, most airlines won't prevent you from flying per say, just make you sweat. You will be a full search though, so be prepared for that.
Normally if you lost your ID you would have to have two forms of non photo ID such as a Social Security Card, Birth Certificate, Expired drivers liscense, Expired Passport, Voters registration card, Vehicle Registration, Hunting or Fishing liscense, something government issued. Of course if your wallet was lost, you will not hve any of these. Regarless of who you are, you have to have something to show your identity. The people in the call center do not work at the airport and usually do not know the procedures nor have they ever had ticket counter experience and dont know what we can let slide. Most times they are in a call center over in India and only follow the information on the screen in front of them.
Like I said, if this is your return, normally they will not prevent you from going home. You apparently made it to DFW. So, to be on the safe side, go ahead and stop by a police department and file a report and keep that with you. That will be your only saving grace. But again, allow ample time at the airport because you will now become a selectee, or a full search passenger. No need to worry, you will be alright and be allowed to fly home.
