Narrative:
During descent into dfw we were cleared direct to seevr and told to descend via the seevr arrival but to maintain 310 knots. We set in the bottom altitude for the window at seevr of 13000 and began our descent planning to cross seevr at 14000 to avoid leveling off. As we neared seevr ATC changed our clearance to cross seevr at 13000 and comply with the speeds at seevr then continue the arrival. We slowed to 270 knots and thought we were set up to cross seevr at 13000 but just before turning I noticed we were too high and just as I noticed ATC gave us a heading and an expedited descent to keep us clear of a skydive aircraft in the area.
