A TCAS RA always has priority, but not a TA. The RA virtually eliminates human ATC or pilot error. Just be mindful of aircraft that are not operating mode c transponders, or formation flights where only one aircraft has a transponder turned on (rare, but it happened to me once).

Be sure to send in the required operations report, which should alleviate any record of wrongdoing by the pilot.
