Narrative:
ATC clearance to relocate from east to west side of dallas love includes instructions to hold short of runway 13L at taxiway A2. Upon reaching hold point, ATC instructs 'cross without delay.' immediately upon crossing, tower states clearance to cross was not given, traffic on runway. Short time later, in phone conversation with tower supervisor, it was learned I had clearance to cross but was given in error by controller, intended for another citation at taxiway B5.
