Narrative:
Flight deviated from ATC assigned altitude of 10000 ft at hoagi intersection (houston cugar arrival) due to a TCASII RA to climb. The conflicting aircraft was a cherokee single engine at 9500 ft and climbing in VFR conditions. Houston approach control was not in communication with the light traffic and could not verify the traffic's intentions. We climbed to 11000 ft and advised ATC, and re- descended to 10000 ft. Houston was advised of our TCASII RA and that we were climbing.

Title: FLC OF A MLG CLBED ABOVE ASSIGNED ALT IN RESPONSE TO A TCASII RA.
Narrative: FLT DEVIATED FROM ATC ASSIGNED ALT OF 10000 FT AT HOAGI INTXN (HOUSTON CUGAR ARR) DUE TO A TCASII RA TO CLB. THE CONFLICTING ACFT WAS A CHEROKEE SINGLE ENG AT 9500 FT AND CLBING IN VFR CONDITIONS. HOUSTON APCH CTL WAS NOT IN COM WITH THE LIGHT TFC AND COULD NOT VERIFY THE TFC'S INTENTIONS. WE CLBED TO 11000 FT AND ADVISED ATC, AND RE- DSNDED TO 10000 FT. HOUSTON WAS ADVISED OF OUR TCASII RA AND THAT WE WERE CLBING.
