Human Factors; Procedure
We landed on 17L at DFW. Given the standard Echo Sierra Route. On JS Ground was contacted. Given the clearance 'K' to the Ramp. I proceeded up to K12 to make the right and left turn to transition to 'K.'I was about half way into the right turn when the First Officer and I at the same time saw Aircraft Y on 'K' taxing at a brisk pace. I slammed on the brakes and stopped short of 'K.' Aircraft Y passed by without breaking pace.The passengers knew we had made an unusual stop. I taxied to [the] Gate without any more issues. I called ATC Ground control when I got into the terminal. I spoke with the Supervisor. He agreed that I was following his instructions; as was Aircraft Y; but Aircraft Y decided to join 'K' sooner; and pass me before I got on 'K.' Too close to be comfortable.
