Narrative:
On the BRDJE2 arrival into dallas we leveled at 11;000 which is the published altitude for that segment of the arrival between pithy and stonz. Approximately 5 NM from stonz we received a TA from an aircraft departing dfw below us. In level flight at 11;000 we then received a RA to climb as the aircraft below us was approximately 1;000 feet below us and climbing as indicated by the TCAS. We then climbed up to 12;000 feet until the RA was resolved and notified ATC of our climb. ATC notified us of a traffic conflict after the TA was given by our TCAS. ATC acknowledged our climb and told us to descend back to 11;000 when clear of the traffic. We did have the traffic in sight after the TA was given and kept them in sight till they based below us during our climb.aircraft spacing between departing aircraft and arriving aircraft should be increased by more than 1;000 feet in this area; especially when closure rates are high between one aircraft descending and the other climbing.
