Firefighters began battling the flames at the Sutton Place Apartments just after 4 p.m. Tuesday.
The 2-alarm fire was extinguished after about two hours, said Jason Evans, Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman. No firefighters were hurt, and a resident inside the third-floor apartment that caught fire was able to escape unharmed.
The damage left 13 units uninhabitable, displacing 20 people, Evans said.
Investigators determined the fire was set by a woman who had gotten in a fight with the person who escaped the fire.
The woman faces felony arson charges, Evans said.
No further information was released.
