Narrative:

We departed runway 34 off of ftw. Upon reaching 1000 ft MSL; we were handed off to departure and at the same time received a traffic advisory from the TCAS. The traffic was straight off our nose; 300 ft low; within the 3 mile ring and closing. As soon as we checked on with departure; they told us about the traffic and informed us they were not in communication with the other aircraft. At that time we were granted a 15 degree turn to the east to avoid the traffic which was completed using a higher than standard turn rate. After rolling wings level we were able to see the single engine airplane pass off our left side. It was shortly after getting clear of the conflict; we noticed a deviation in our assigned altitude of 3000 ft MSL. The climb was arrested at 3400 ft MSL; however; before descending back to 3000 ft we were assigned higher. It is the belief of the crew that had evasive action not been taken; a collision would have occurred. The ftw control tower was later asked about the offending traffic and they informed us that they were in communication with the other aircraft and was aware of their location with respect to the extended runway centerline.
