Narrative:

About 10-15 mins after takeoff, the captain announced to the passenger that the aircraft had a hydraulics problem and that we were returning to dfw. He called on the interphone to tell us that everything was ok and that we did not need to prepare for an evacuate/evacuation. We circled and dumped fuel. The captain then announced that we would be landing and that due to the circumstances, crash fire rescue equipment would be waiting for us. We landed without incident and the aircraft was towed to the gate. The captain kept us informed and the passenger remained calm.
