              DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS OF
                            TEXAS UTILITIES COMPANY

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.      Plan Description-- The Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors
        of Texas Utilities Company (Plan) was approved and authorized by the
        Board of Directors of Texas Utilities Company (Company) on May 19,
        1995, effective July 1, 1995. Members of the Board of Directors of the
        Company who are not current or former officers or employees of the
        Company or any of its subsidiaries (Outside Directors) are eligible to
        participate in the Plan. The Plan allows Outside Directors of the
        Company to defer a percentage of their compensation, which is defined
        as the annual Board retainer. The Company will make a matching award
        equal to 100% of such deferred compensation. The maturity period,
        elected by the participants, is not fewer than 3 years and not more
        than 10 years. In the event a participant's service is terminated
        because of death or disability, all amounts in the participant's
        account shall mature upon such termination. If the participant
        terminates service prior to the end of a Plan Year, the deferred
        amount, the Company match and the dividend equivalent credits will be
        recomputed as of the termination date. In the event a participant's
        termination results from reasons other than death or disability all
        amounts credited to an account, except as provided in the event of a
        participant's termination prior to the end of a Plan Year, shall mature
        at the end of the applicable maturity period.

        The number of participants at June 30, 1997 was 9.

2.      Plan Investments -- The cost, market value and unrealized appreciation
        (depreciation) of investments at June 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

              DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS OF
                            TEXAS UTILITIES COMPANY

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


4.      Distributions Payable -- During the year ended June 1996, one
        participant retired from service as an Outside Director. The value of
        the participant's 1,223.38 and 1,157.56 performance units at June 30,
        1997 and 1996, respectively, and of the dividend equivalent credits
        earned thereon will be determined on June 30, 1998, the end of the
        maturity period, and distributed to the participant.

5.      Federal Income Taxes -- The Plan does not, and is not intended to, meet
        the requirements of a tax-qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the
        Internal Revenue Code (Code). Therefore, the trust which the Company
        has established under the Plan in order to provide Plan benefits is not
        exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501 (a) of the Code.

        Based on the Code and the regulations thereunder as currently in
        effect:

        (a)  A participant's elective deferrals under the Plan, matching
             awards, incentive awards, and any dividends, interest or other
             income thereon will not be subject to federal income tax until
             the year such amounts are paid or otherwise made available to
             the participant.

        (b)  Elective deferrals under the Plan are not deductible by the
             participant on his or her federal income tax return, since
             elective deferrals are not includable in participant's income.

        (c)  Amounts distributed under the Plan will be taxable as ordinary
             income to the participant in the year of such distribution.

6.      Plan Administration Fees -- All administrative fees are paid by the
        Company, the Plan sponsor.

7.      Amendment or Termination -- The Company's Board of Directors may amend,
        terminate, or suspend the Plan at any time. An amendment or
        modification of the Plan may affect active participants as well as
        future participants, but no amendment or modification of the Plan for
        any reason may diminish any participant's account as of the effective
        date thereof. Upon termination of the Plan, the deferred amount,
        matching award, and dividend equivalent credits will be recomputed as
        of the date of termination.

8.      Subsequent Event-- On August 5, 1997, pursuant to the Amended and
        Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 13, 1996 among
        the Company, ENSERCH Corporation, a Texas corporation (ENSERCH) and TUC
        Holding Company, a Texas corporation (TUCHC): (i) subsidiary TUCHC was
        merged into Texas Utilities Company and ENSERCH (the Merger), (ii) the
        Company and ENSERCH became wholly-owned subsidiaries of TUCHC, (iii)
        TUCHC changed its name to Texas Utilities Company, (iv) the Company
        changed its name to Texas Energy Industries, Inc., (v) all of the
        Company's common stock held under the Plan was automatically converted
        into shares of TUCHC on a one-for-one basis and (vi) TUCHC assumed
        sponsorship of the Plan. Management has not determined whether the
        Merger will have any additional effects on the Plan.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Organization and Compensation Committee,
   Deferred Compensation
   Plan for Outside Directors of Texas Utilities Company:

We have audited the statements of financial condition of the Deferred
Compensation Plan for Outside Directors of Texas Utilities Company as of June
30, 1997 and 1996 and the related statements of income and changes in plan
equity for the fiscal years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial condition of the Plan at June 30, 1997 and
1996 and the related plan income and changes in plan equity for the fiscal
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
