Narrative:

Flight departed love field normally to midland and were given vectors for the SID. Busy traffic and was given numerous TA's from ZFW. We were cleared to climb 10000 ft and also advised of traffic at our 10-11 O'clock position and traffic descending at our 12-1 O'clock position. I advised looking for traffic. Captain was flying the particular leg and first officer (me) monitor the radio. At 9000 ft we both said 1000 ft to go till we reach 10000 ft. I looked at our TCASII to find traffic which we were advised of and I also looked outside to find or see the traffic descending. Then we received TCASII RA and I looked at our radar altimeter and captain busted 10000 ft and instead we were at 10300 ft. Captain corrected immediately and descended back to 10000 ft and at the same time, we both noticed the other traffic. ATC then again said traffic at 12 O'clock. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated their aircraft did not have altitude hold and while the flight crew were looking for the traffic, the PF went through 10000 ft. Reporter said they had the fokker in sight and that the controller did not say anything about a loss of separation between the 2 aircraft.
