   ----------------
Texas Utilities Company (Plan) was approved and authorized by the Board of
Directors of the 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 for 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 both June 30, 1999 and 1998 was 7 and 9
respectively.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
   ------------------------------------------
Basis of Accounting -- The financial statements of the Plan are prepared

</TABLE>
6. Distributions Payable -- During the Plan year ended June 30, 1999,
   ---------------------
distributions were made for maturing Director deferrals and matching awards
for the Plan year ended June 30, 1996 in the amount of $307,067.
Additionally, payments were made to the designated beneficiaries of retired
and/or deceased Directors in the amounts of $226,926.  A reversion resulted in
a return to the Company in the amount of $34,015.

Maturing in 1999, Director deferrals and matching awards for the Plan year
ended June 30, 1997 total $173,584.

7. 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 the participant's income.

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

8. 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.

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, 1999 and 1998 and the related statements of income and changes in plan
equity for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1999. 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, 1999
and 1998 and the related plan income and changes in plan equity for each of
the three years in the period ended June 30, 1999, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
