of Titan Common Stock.  Filing is being made as a result of the Voting Agreement
as described herein.

     This Amendment No. 1 amends and  supplements  the statement on Schedule 13D
dated  August  15,  1997  filed by USF&G  Corporation,  a  Maryland  corporation
("USF&G")  relating to the shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common  Stock")  of  Titan  Holdings,  Inc.,  a  Texas  corporation  ("Titan").
Capitalized terms used herein without  definition have the same meaning as those
ascribed to them in the initial filing.

     Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration

     Item three is hereby supplemented to add the following:

     Since the most  recent  filing  on  Schedule  13D,  USF&G  Corporation  has
purchased  an  aggregate  of 128,000  shares of Titan  Common  Stock on the open
market.  The shares were purchased using internal  resources and existing credit
facilities of USF&G.

     Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     Item 5 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

     (a)-(b)

     As a result of the  Voting  Agreement,  USF&G may be deemed to have  shared
power to vote an  aggregate  of  2,579,295  shares of Titan Common Stock for the
limited purposes described in Item 4 above and in the Voting Agreement. Further,
USF&G may be deemed to have shared power with respect to the disposition of such
shares based upon the  restrictions on transfer of such shares described in Item
4 above and in the Voting Agreement.  USF&G has acquired 128,000 shares of Titan
Common Stock through  purchases of Titan Common Stock for cash  consideration on
the open market.  In the aggregate,  the shares subject to the Voting  Agreement
and  the  shares   purchased  by  the  USF&G  on  the  open  market   constitute
approximately 26.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Titan Common Stock.

     To USF&G's  knowledge,  no shares of Titan  Common  Stock are  beneficially
owned by any of the persons  named in  Schedule  I,  except for such  beneficial
ownership, if any, arising solely from the Voting Agreement.

     (c)

     Neither USF&G, nor, to USF&G's  knowledge,  any person named in Schedule I,
has  effected  any  transaction  in Titan  Common Stock during the past 60 days,
except as disclosed herein.
