Narrative:
Location: northeast dfw on arrival route. Inbound from lit, assigned lemyn at 11000 ft. Due to deviation around thunderstorms, we were distracted and unable to make the crossing restr. We were also off the arrival routing at that point, but nevertheless were unable to make the altitude in the prescribed DME. No conflict occurred and nothing was mentioned by the controller.
