Narrative:

When starting the descent into dfw; I was in the lavatory when ATC changed our arrival from the BRDJE2 arrival to the SEEVR2 arrival. We were instructed to proceed direct seevr and join the SEEVR2 arrival. When I came back in the cockpit; my first officer informed me of the change and we verified it against our charts. Now we were instructed to descend via the SEEVR2. I checked the chart and dialed in the lowest altitude and armed the VNAV. Just as we were coming up to the seevr intersection; ATC asked us if we were going to make the crossing restriction and then assigned us to just expedite to 10;000 feet and then slow to 250.we complied with this. Once on with the next controller; we were given a phone number for a possible pilot deviation. When we parked at the gate; my first officer and I discussed what had happened and discovered that when we changed from the BRDJE2 arrival to the SEEVR2 arrival; the crossing restriction at seevr should have changed from between fl 230 and FL200 as listed on the BRDJE2 arrival to between 16;000 and 13;000 as listed on the SEEVR2 arrival. For some reason the FMS did not change this and kept the BRDJE2 crossing restriction of between fl 230 and fl 200; even though the SEEVR2 arrival was now loaded.both of us failed to notice this discrepancy leading us to be high at the seevr intersection. ATC caught this and gave us a descent before we actually closed the fix. After discussing this with my first officer; I called the number and spoke with the supervisor and explained what had happened.
