Narrative:

Location: dfw. We landed runway 18R, turned off high speed and were told to hold short of runway 18L on taxiway wm. Before we got to the hold line, both of us heard the tower controller say taxiway wm cross runway 18L. We were the only plane on taxiway wm. The guy in front had already crossed. The first officer responded 'crossing at taxiway wm for runway 18L.' both of us had confirmed what we heard. After we crossed, the tower controller said we had been told to hold short. We said we heard him clear us across. We talked with the ground controller. He said he thought no harm, no foul.
