APPLICATION FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM LISTING OF SECURITIES
PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(d) OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
AMRESCO, INC.
(Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter)

This application for removal of listing of securities
is being filed on behalf of AMRESCO, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("AMRESCO"). AMRESCO is a reporting company
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934
Act"), and files periodic reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission").
AMRESCO has the following debt securities (the "Notes")
which are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE") and are registered with the Commission under
Section 12 (b) of the 1934 Act.:
Title of Each Class Cusip # Principal Amount
10% Senior Subordinated 031909ABO $57,500,000
Notes due 2003
10% Senior Subordinated 031909AD6 $192,500,000
Notes due 2004
AMRESCO hereby applies for approval from the Commission
to remove the Notes from listing pursuant to Rule 12d2-2(d)
of the 1934 Act. AMRESCO has complied with Rule 500 of the
NYSE by having its Board of Directors adopt a resolution
approving the removal from listing and the application to
the Commission.
For the reasons discussed below, AMRESCO believes that
removal from listing of the Notes is warranted:
Limited Number of Holders: There are a limited number
of registered holders of the Notes.
1934 Act Compliance: AMRESCO will continue to have its
common stock, par value $0.05 per share, registered with the
Commission pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act.
Therefore, it will continue to file all of the same reports
with the Commission as it had prior to the de-listing. In
addition, the same type of disclosure to the investing
public will continue to be made and the holders of the Notes
will continue to receive the same type of financial information
and disclosure.
No Obligation to Maintain Listing: AMRESCO is not
obligated under the indenture under which the Notes were
issued or any other documents to maintain a listing of the
Notes on the NYSE or any other exchange.
AMRESCO believes that the de-listing of the Notes
should not have a material impact on the holders of the
Notes.
If you have any questions, please call L. Keith
Blackwell, Senior Vice President, General Counsel &
Secretary of AMRESCO, at (214) 953-7727.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the

caused this Application to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned
thereunto duly authorized.
