Incorrect. Dexter was one of many test pilots for "Cartoon Cartoons" - a test bed run by Cartoon Network with production carried out by Hannah-Barbera and Cartoon Network Studios. Where basically various creators where given the opportunity to turn their idea into a cartoon. You could literally send in your idea for a show and if it was good, they'd turn it into a cartoon.
Dexter was just the first to be picked up.
