Did some goggling and found out a service called www.choosecubby.com, which offers a luggage storage options all around Dallas & Fort worth area. I booked it online simple process, they only charge $5.90/bag/day. They also offer free bag insurance. I would definitely recommend the service to others .
Happy Travelling folks.

Do you have a 3-hour connection, or an overnight connection?

If it's 3 hours, that's not really enough time to leave the airport and do anything meaningful in either Dallas or Fort Worth. (DFW airport is between them and a solid 30-45 minute taxi/Uber to either one without traffic.) The fact that you have multiple sizable bags in your possession suggests two tickets, meaning you're claiming them and then rechecking them with a 2nd airline. If that is indeed your case, that will consume some of your time right there. DFW is a massive airport, both in terms of square mileage for the whole field and the walking you'll do within terminal buildings.

If it's overnight, then sure, there's Airbnb if you want an apartment, or a bazillion hotels if you just want something close to the airport with an easy-to-use shuttle. For a simple overnight connection, I've used a few different hotels there without any issues - pretty much whatever brand and price point you're looking for is there.

How long is your layover? Do you have to pick-up your bags?

I had 5 hour layover, We have 2 carry on bags with us. My checked luggages are thru checked in, so i dont have to worry about it. Only my carry on bag i needed some place to store.

we had more than 5 hours layover at DFW, we had 2 carry on bags which we need to find a place to store. We took an Uber went to Deep Ellum, there was a choosecuuby.com luggage storage shop, dropped off our bags for couple of hours. Had some authentic texas food and beer. Over all worth the trip to downtown...

The cubby concept is interesting...surprised I haven't seen that (or something like it) before. Bag drops all over town...at least in Dallas.
