Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Robert A. Mann is the beneficial owner of 101,997 shares of First
Financial common stock, or 58.77% of the outstanding shares,
calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1), and exercises
shared voting and shared dispositive power over all of the shares
beneficially owned.

9,255 shares of the First Financial common stock beneficially
owned by Robert A. Mann are owned by Bluebonnet Investments, Ltd.
("Bluebonnet Investments"), a Texas limited partnership. The
general partners of Bluebonnet Investments are Robert A. Mann and
Bluebonnet Enterprises, Inc. ("Bluebonnet Enterprises"), a Texas
corporation owned by the David W. Mann 1990 Trust, of which David
W. Mann is trustee and a beneficiary. Consequently, David W. Mann
exercises some indirect control over the voting and investment of
the 9,255 shares owned by Bluebonnet Investments. On September
30, 1996, Robert A. Mann was elected Chairman of the Board,
President and Director of Bluebonnet Enterprises. Bluebonnet
Enterprises exercises shared voting and shared investment power
with respect to these 9,255 shares of First Financial. Thus, in
his capacity as an officer and director of Bluebonnet
Enterprises, Robert A. Mann exercises shared voting and
investment power with respect to said 9,255 shares.

92,742 shares of the First Financial common stock beneficially
owned by Robert A. Mann are owned by First Financial Holdings,
Ltd. ("First Financial Holdings"), a Texas limited partnership.
The general partner of First Financial Holdings is FFC Holdings,
Inc. ("FFC Holdings"), a Texas corporation owned by the David W.
Mann 1990 Trust, of which David W. Mann is trustee and a
beneficiary. Consequently, David W. Mann exercises some indirect
control over the voting and investment of the 92,742 shares owned
by First Financial Holdings. On October 18, 1996, Robert A. Mann
was elected Chairman of the Board, President and director of FFC
Holdings. FFC Holdings, as the general partner of  First
Financial Holdings, exercises sole voting and sole investment
power with respect to these 92,742 shares of First Financial.
Thus, in his capacity as an officer and director of FFC Holdings,
Robert A. Mann exercises shared voting and shared investment
power (with David W. Mann) with respect to said 92,742 shares.

David W. Mann is an individual whose business address is 800
Washington Avenue, Waco, Texas 76701.  David W. Mann's principal
occupation is President of  First Financial, whose address is 800
Washington Avenue, Waco, Texas 76701; President  of First
Preference Mortgage Corp., whose address is 800 Washington
Avenue, Waco, Texas 76701; and President of Citizens State Bank,

certain insurance agencies and companies and holds positions with
numerous other entities.  David W. Mann has not during the last
five years been convicted in any criminal proceedings and has not
been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in any
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of,
or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.  David W. Mann is a United States citizen.

Except as set forth herein, David W. Mann and Robert A. Mann have
not engaged in any transactions involving the common stock of
First Financial during the last sixty (60) days.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings, or
Relationships with Respect to the Securities of Issuer.

The limited partnership agreement of Bluebonnet Investments, by
and among Robert A. Mann and Bluebonnet Enterprises, as general
partners, and Mann Investment Company, Mann Group Investment
Company, Central Texas Broadcasting Co., Ltd. and Robert  A.
Mann, as limited partners, presently gives Robert A. Mann and
Bluebonnet Enterprises, as general partners, exclusive authority
to manage the operations and affairs of Bluebonnet Investments
(subject to certain restrictions set forth in the partnership
agreement) including voting of securities owned by Bluebonnet
Investments. The partnership agreement further provides that so
long as Robert A. Mann is acting as the individual general
partner, he shall have no right to vote or determine not to vote
the shares of stock of a "controlled corporation" as that term is
defined in Section 2036 of the Internal Revenue Code and
applicable regulations. This provision is interpreted by the
partnership to mean that Robert A. Mann, in his individual
capacity, currently has shared investment power but exercises no
voting power over the 9,255 shares of First Financial stock owned
by Bluebonnet Investments. However, Robert A. Mann, through
Bluebonnet Enterprises in his capacity as an officer and
director, exercises shared voting power and shared investment
power with respect to the 9,255 shares of First Financial owned
by Bluebonnet Investments.

Under the terms of the partnership agreement of First Financial
Holding, the general partner has sole voting and investment power
with respect to the 92,742 shares of First Financial stock owned
by First Financial Holdings; thus, FFC Holdings, as the sole
general partner, has sole voting and investment power over such
92,742 shares. Therefore, Robert A. Mann, in his capacity as an
officer and director of FFC Holdings, exercises shared voting and
shared investment power with respect to the 92,742 shares of
First Financial owned by First Financial Holdings,

Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Not applicable.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and
belief, I certify that the information set forth in this
statement is true, complete and correct.
