Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said the woman was killed when the crane cut a gash in the building, apparently slicing through some of the apartments.
Mr Evans said it is too early to say whether there may be more people injured or killed.
"We only hope that what we've found up to this point is where the damage and where the impact stops," he said.
Of those injured, two were listed in a critical condition, three had suffered serious injuries and one suffered minor injuries and was later discharged from a hospital.
The crane fell after the National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area, warning of heavy rain, damaging gusts and large hail.
