Narrative:

I was the pilot departing dal runway 32R on a southern departure (JPOOLE3; ardia transition). While awaiting in the holding area of runway 32R; I noted a fast moving thunderstorm moving east to west over the departure end of the runway. I was issued clearance to takeoff by the tower with initial altitude of 2000 ft and heading of left turn to 185 degrees. The tower also advised of possible windshear in takeoff. During the takeoff rotation; the tower advised that the field was closed for jet takeoff because of windshear. After takeoff and immediate turn of 185 degrees was directed by the tower and read back done for a climb to 2000 ft; and a change to departure frequency. At approximately 2000 ft a clearance was given to 3000 ft and read back done. I immediately encountered severe turbulence and windshear (estimate -/+ 30 KTS of airspeed and loss/gain of 700+ ft of altitude.) I advised the controller immediately of the windshear and that I was unable to hold altitude. My concentration was to stabilize my airspeed and hold my wings level. The weather/event lasted approximately 1 minute and I exited the windshear at 800 ft above my assigned altitude of 3000 ft and was immediately corrected. During the weather event; one traffic conflict was issued.
