  I don't think there *is* a Dallas guide, so I guess we'll have to start one.
The pickings here aren't great, but here is the list of what I've found.
(If anyone knows of others, feel free to add them.)

Assuming you mean the whole Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex when you say Dallas
then there's:

CyberNet--425 W. Airport Freeway, Suite 204, Irving TX 75062 (214)707-3749
A one-person operation in a slightly-hard-to-find hole in the wall.  Rents
and sells videos, some LD and CD, animation cels, books, etc.  Only place
that is predominately anime.

Lone Star Comics and Books
A local chain that carries anime video and stuff, not a whole lot at each
store, so you may have to hit several to find what you're looking for.
(If you know what you want, they will call the other stores and check for
you.  I've done that a couple of times and it saves gas.)
North Dallas: 11661 Preston Rd at Forest (214)373-0934
Plano: 1900 Preston Rd at Park (214)985-1593
Mesquite: 3600 Gus Thomasson (214)681-2040
Irving: 2550 N. Beltline Rd (214)659-0317
Central Arlington: 504 E. Abrams  metro(817)265-0491
South Arlington: 3415 S. Cooper  (817)557-5252
Ft Worth: 6312 Hulen Bend Blvd (817)346-7773
Hurst: 931 Melbourne (817)595-4375

Keith's Comics
Another (and smaller) local chain, but they generally have more anime stuff
than Lone Star.  They also rent anime tapes.  The Mockingbird location is
my personal favorite.
Dallas: 5736 E Mockingbird  (214)827-3060
University Park: 3406 Rosedale  (214)696-1116
Richardson: 581 W Campbell (214)680-9353

Heroes
I don't know anything about these folks other than they had a booth at AKON5,
they were selling mangas and videos, and I got their flier.
Ft Worth: 8639 Highway 80 West  (817)244-2503
Ft Worth: 2704 W Berry  (817)926-9803
Hurst: 8723 Bedford-Euless Road  (817)589-2703

And, if you're interested in a five-hour road trip to Houston, there's always:
Planet Anime  2435 Times Blvd Houston TX  (713)523-7122

Good luck,

Here's a couple more places:

    Kazy's
    Near Forest Lane and Greenville Ave, next to O'Riley's Pub
    and adjacent to Texas Instruments facility.
    A Japanese general store carrying books, magazines, grocery
    items, art, and miscellaneous stuff. You can subscribe to
    just about any Japanese publication like Newtype, etc, through
    them.

    Visionquest
    Royal Lane and Preston Road intersection. Carry's mainstream and
    non-mainstream LDs, video games including Japanese imports and
    nearly all of the domestic anime video releases for rent. Also
    carries comics too, but not a big selection.

Sorry I don't have the exact addresses and telephones handy, but they
should be listed in the yellow pages.
