Narrative:

While in contact with regional approach at 11000 ft, level, I received an RA from TCASII to climb. We started climb and informed approach or our evasive action (climbed to 11500 ft). RA ceased. Approach acknowledged our climb and was not too concerned. Departures out of dfw are at 10000 ft and approach had traffic at 10000 ft -- no conflict. Flight continued uneventful.
