                  The class of securities to which this statement relates is the
         common stock, $1.00 par value (the "Common Stock") of Harte-Hanks
         Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), the
         principal executive offices of which are located at 200 Concord Plaza
         Drive, Suite 800, San Antonio, Texas 78216.

ITEM 2.           IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

                  (a)-(c), (f) The Andrew B. Shelton Revocable Trust (the
                  "Trust") is an intervivos trust that was established under the
                  laws of the State of Texas for the benefit of certain family
                  members of Andrew B. Shelton and such other persons in
                  accordance with the terms of Mr. Shelton's Last Will and
                  Testament. The initial Trustee and Settlor with full power of
                  revocation and substitution was Andrew B. Shelton. Upon the
                  death of Mr. Shelton on January 16, 1997, the Trust became
                  irrevocable. The successor trustee is: David L. Copeland, a
                  United States citizen, whose principal occupation is President
                  of Sipco, Inc., and whose business address is 1052 North Fifth

                  or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
                  administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of

                  order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
                  mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities
