Narrative:
Las approach advised our flight that we were approximately 1200-1500 ft below TCA. According to the TCA chart, we showed flight was within confines of the TCA. No other action taken. No further communication from ATC on event. Supplemental information from acn 346989: las approach control had cleared us for a visual approach approximately 30 mi east of airport. Later when handing us off to tower, he advised us that we were apparently below the TCA.
