INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


ENSERCH Corporation Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan Committee

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the ENSERCH Corporation Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan
(formerly the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of ENSERCH Corporation and
Participating Subsidiary Companies) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the
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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental
schedules of (1) assets held for investment at December 31, 1995, and
(2) reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995, are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required
by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The
supplemental information by fund is presented for the purpose of additional
analysis of the basic financial statements rather than to present information
regarding the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of the individual funds, and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements.  These schedules and this supplemental
information are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such schedules
and supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

ENSERCH CORPORATION EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     On May 10, 1994, the ENSERCH Corporation Board of Directors approved the
     merger of the ENSERCH Corporation Employee Investment Plan ("Investment
     Plan") into the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of ENSERCH Corporation and
     Participating Subsidiary Companies ("ESPP"), as well as several
     amendments applicable to the ESPP.  The  merger  became effective
     January 1, 1995.  The merged and amended ESPP plan, renamed the ENSERCH
     Corporation Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan ("the Plan"), is
     conditioned upon its qualification as a combination profit sharing and
     employee stock ownership plan under Sections 401(a), 401(k), 401(m) and
     4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan is subject to the
     applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
     1974 ("ERISA").

     The financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1994
     presented herein represent the net assets and changes therein of the
     ESPP prior to the merger.  The presentation of the 1994 amounts has been
     revised to conform with the current year presentation.

     The Investment Plan was a profit sharing plan established under Section
     401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and was subject to the provisions
     of ERISA.  Fidelity Management Trust Company, a state chartered bank,
     served as trustee ("Prior Trustee") and managed the assets of the
     Investment Plan.

     The following description reflects the status of the Plan after the
     merger and is provided for general information only.  Participants
     should  refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

     General - The Plan is a participant-directed defined contribution
     combination employee stock ownership and profit sharing plan established
     by ENSERCH Corporation and its  divisions  and participating subsidiary
     companies ("ENSERCH" or "the Corporation") to encourage and assist
     employees in establishing an individual savings and investment program.
     All full time employees of ENSERCH and its participating subsidiaries
     are eligible to participate in the Plan.  Participation is voluntary.
     The number of participants in the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
     were 4,741 and 4,002 respectively.

     A committee appointed by the ENSERCH Board of Directors is responsible
     for the general administration, management and operation of the Plan.
     Texas Commerce Bank ("the Trustee"), a federally chartered bank, has
     served as trustee since January 1, 1995 and manages the assets of the
     Plan.

                                   6

     Participants' Contributions - Under the Plan, a participant may invest
     pre-tax and/or after-tax dollars through payroll deductions each pay
     period in increments of one percent up to a maximum of 16 percent of
     regular monthly salary or wages ("base pay").  The Omnibus Budget Recon-
     ciliation Act of 1993 placed an annual limitation of $150,000 of the
     base pay which can be used in computing benefits for participants under
     the Plan.  The maximum contribution for certain highly compensated
     participants is subject to reduction pursuant to limitations under the
     Internal Revenue Code.

     Eligible employees can rollover to the Plan any distributions received
     from other qualified retirement plans.  Individual Retirement Account
     ("IRA") distributions are not eligible for rollover into the Plan.

     Each participant is entitled to direct the allocation of his or her
     account among the common stock of ENSERCH or EEX or four mutual fund
     investment options:  the Fidelity Puritan Fund and Fidelity Magellan
     Fund, which invest in equity securities; the Fidelity U.S. Bond Index
     Fund, which invests in fixed income bond securities; and the Fidelity
     Retirement Government Money Market Portfolio, which invests in short-
     term U.S. Government securities.  A participant can change investment
     elections for future contributions and can transfer (or exchange) any
     existing mutual fund balances among the offered investment elections at
     any time, in accordance with committee guidelines.   Investments in
     ENSERCH common stock under the ESPP may not be transferred to other
     investment choices unless the participant has attained age 55, after
     which the pre-tax employee contribution portion may be transferred to
     another investment option within the Plan.  (See Note 5 - Subsequent
     Events.)  Included in the common stock funds' net assets available for
     benefits as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $37,888,817 and
     $40,208,214, respectively, of non-participant directed investments.

     Employers' Matching Contributions - ENSERCH makes matching contributions
     in common stock of either ENSERCH Corporation or Enserch Exploration,
     Inc. ("EEX", a majority-owned subsidiary that is publicly traded) based
     on the participant's contribution.  The maximum participant contribution
     eligible for matching ranges from 3% to 6%, depending on length of
     service.  The matching contributions as a percentage of participant
     contributions range from 30% to 60%, depending on length of service.
     Within certain limitations, the participant may select the percentages
     of the matching contribution to be invested in ENSERCH or EEX common
     stock.  Employees are 100% vested in the matching contributions.  The
     matching contributions may not be diversified.  (See Note 5 - Subsequent
     Events.)

     Investment of Funds - All assets of the Plan are held by the Trustee for
     the exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries.  Separate
     account records for each participant are maintained by the Trustee.  The
     Trustee provides a summary of financial performance by investment fund
     directly to Plan participants.

                                      7

     Participant Loans - Participants may borrow up to 50% of the market
     value of their pre-tax employee contribution account; however, the loan
     can not exceed $50,000 less the maximum outstanding loan balance in the
     previous one-year period.  The interest rate on the loan is equal to the
     prime interest rate of the Trustee that is in effect on the date the
     loan is made.  The interest rate on loans outstanding at the end of the
     year ranged from 6% to 10%.  Loans are made from withdrawals from the
     individuals' funds determined by the plan committee.  The maximum term
     of a loan can not exceed 5 years or, if earlier, severance from service
     or withdrawal of the participant at age 59-1/2.  A participant may have
     a maximum of two concurrent loans.

     Withdrawal from the Plan - Withdrawals from the Plan are governed by
     applicable IRS regulations and provisions of ERISA.  Penalties may apply
     in certain instances.

     A participant who terminates employment and has an account balance of
     more than $3,500 can retain the funds in the Plan or withdraw them at
     any time.  Participants that terminate with balances of less than $3,500
     are required to receive a lump-sum distribution after termination.  To
     avoid taxation, the taxable portion of any withdrawal made after
     termination can be rolled into an IRA or a qualified retirement plan
     sponsored by another employer.

     The IRS has established rules governing distributions from the Plan
     after the participant has attained 70 1/2 years of age.

     Unclaimed Terminated Participants' Accounts - The plan has a segregated
     account of amounts payable to terminated participants of the Tax
     Reduction Act Stock Ownership Plan ("TRASOP") whom the Plan administra-
     tors have been unable to locate for more than one year from the date of
     termination.  Included in net assets available for benefits as of
     December 31, 1995, and 1994, were $1,144,132 and $988,704 respectively,
     of TRASOP unclaimed  terminated  participants'  benefits.  As of
     December 31, 1995, there was $209 thousand invested in a short-term
     investment fund, representing unclaimed dividends payable to terminated
     participants  of the TRASOP.  The Texas Commerce Bank Short Term
     Investment Fund is an employee benefit commingled fixed income fund
     whose objective is to achieve a high level of income through investments
     in a fixed income portfolio with an average maturity of 5 to 75 days.
     The rate in effect as of December 31, 1995 was 5.79%.  The Plan remains
     contingently liable to terminated participants for unclaimed cash and
     shares.

     Termination of Plan - The Board of Directors of the Corporation has the
     right under the Plan to amend or modify the Plan at any time and may
     terminate the Plan in its entirety, subject to the provisions of ERISA.
     Participants are 100% vested in their accounts at all times.

     Expenses - All charges and expenses incurred in the administration of
     the Plan and fees and expenses of the Trustee are paid by the Corpora-
     tion.  Recordkeeping fees are deducted from participants' accounts.

2.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared
     under the accrual method of accounting.

     Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are
     stated at fair value.  Investments in common stock of ENSERCH and EEX
     are valued at their quoted market value.  Investments in Fidelity mutual
     funds are valued at quoted net asset value of the respective funds
     reflecting the closing sales price of the underlying securities.  Par-
     ticipants do not have beneficial ownership in specific underlying
     securities or other assets in the various mutual funds, but have an
     interest therein represented by units valued as of the last business day
     of the period.  Generally, contributions to and withdrawals from each
     fund are converted to units by dividing the amounts of such transactions
     by the unit value as last determined, and the participants' accounts are
     charged or credited with the number of units properly attributable to
     each participant.  Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.
     Income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis of accounting.

     Benefits Payable - Benefits are recorded when paid.  As of December 31,
     1995 and 1994, net assets available for benefits included benefits of
     $133,365 and $1,839,787, respectively, due to participants who had
     withdrawn from participation in the Plan but who had not yet received
     their benefits.

3.   TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

     ENSERCH Corporation has been advised by the Internal Revenue Service
     that the ESPP, as amended to June 19, 1990, met the requirements of
     Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Board of Directors of
     ENSERCH Corporation approved amendments to the ESPP, which were
     effective November 21, 1990, September 10, 1991, February 11, 1992,
     January 1, 1993, January 1, 1994  and to the merged plan (ENSERCH
     Corporation Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan) January 1, 1995.
     The amended Plan was established in a manner to qualify it as a defined
     contribution plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
     Management of the Corporation believes the Plan operates on a tax-exempt
     basis; therefore, investment income earned by the Plan is not subject
     to federal income taxes.  On March 30, 1995 the Corporation applied to
     the IRS for a determination letter for the newly merged ENSERCH
     Corporation Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan as to its continued
     qualification under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

     Participants in the Plan are not subject to federal income taxation on
     amounts added to their accounts as a result of their pre-tax or Company
     matching contributions or investment income until such time as it is
     withdrawn from the Plan.  All account withdrawals under the Plan are
     made in accordance with IRS regulations.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   In April 1996, ENSERCH Corporation announced that it had agreed to combine
   with Texas Utilities Company ("TXU").  The merger is to be preceded by a
   distribution of EEX shares to holders of ENSERCH common stock.  Under
   terms of the merger agreement, common stock of TXU will be exchanged for
   all of the outstanding shares of the Corporation.  In May, 1996, an
   amendment to the Plan was approved that will allow ENSERCH and EEX stock
   currently held in the Plan to be diversified.  This applies to stock
   purchased with participant contributions or with Company matching
   contributions.

   After ENSERCH shareholder approval of the ENSERCH merger with TXU, through
   the date of the merger closing, employees will be able to diversify all
   their ENSERCH and EEX shares into the other investment options of the
   plan.  Also, during this "window" period, the Company match will be
   invested according to the participants' investment elections.  After the
   merger closing date, the Company match will be in TXU stock and will not
   be eligible for diversification.
