Narrative:

I departed mci and was cleared to 7000 ft. I was informed by departure control that I had VFR traffic at 2 O'clock position, 7500 ft. I leveled at 7000 ft and searched visually for the traffic. I noticed the target on my TCASII at 2 mi and 7500 ft, level. I was able to see the traffic visually at about the same time. The VFR pilot then stated he was on a collision course and was 'going down.' he was approximately 1 mi at this time. I noticed his target go to +400 to minus 100 and the horizontal separation go to zero. My TCASII gave a 2000 ft climb warning, which I initiated. I lost visual with the intruder during the RA response. I leveled at approximately 8000 ft and called departure. Controller instructed me to continue climb to 17000 ft, I think. We discussed the incident and controller gave me a telephone number. I contacted the facility after arrival in dfw. The supervisor said they were violating the other pilot and that I was 'clean.' he also stated that they did not require any report or further information.
