You are probably going to have to change planes in Dallas.

Typically, the same flight number being used for a flight with multiple stops means that the same plane will be used for both legs of the journey. Due to aircraft substitutions, delays, or other issues in Dallas, though, there may be a need for them to switch you to different aircraft (even though the flight numbers are the same). There really isn't going to be a way to tell whether you will be on the same plane or not until the day of the flight, because there's no way to tell whether they will need to switch planes for whatever reason until that day.

Just by looking at your itinerary, I would say you should not have to switch planes; the flight originates in CLT and makes a stop at DFW before continuing onto to LAX. But just as the previous person said, sometimes airlines make substitutions.
