NOTE 5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of
business.  The Company's management is of the opinion that the outcome of these
lawsuits will have no material impact on the Company's financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (the "Company") invests in real estate
through direct ownership, leases and partnerships and has invested in mortgage
loans, including first, wraparound and junior mortgage loans.  The Company is
the successor to a business trust which  was organized on September 6, 1983 and
commenced operations on January 31, 1984.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents aggregated $5.1 million at March 31, 1996 compared
with $9.6 million at December 31, 1995.  The Company's principal sources of
cash have been and will continue to be from property operations, proceeds from
property and mortgage note sales, the collection of mortgage notes receivable
and borrowings.  The Company anticipates that its cash on hand, as well as cash
generated from the collection of mortgage notes receivable, sales of
properties, borrowings against certain of the Company's unencumbered properties
and refinancing or extensions of certain of its mortgage debt will be
sufficient to meet all of the Company's cash requirements for the remainder of
1996, including debt service obligations and expenditures for property
maintenance and improvements.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

In the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company received $330,000 in cash
from the sale of the Cheyenne Mountain land in Colorado Springs, Colorado, net
cash of $1.6 million from the sale of the Park Forest Apartments in Dearborn
Heights, Michigan after paying off the existing first mortgage, both of which
properties were held for sale, and $825,000 in full settlement of a mortgage
note receivable.

Also in the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company purchased 4.7 acres
of partially developed land in Las Colinas, Texas for $941,000 in cash  and
paid off at maturity the underlying lien on the property securing one of its
wraparound mortgage notes receivable in the amount of $893,000.

In the first quarter of 1996, the Company paid its regular quarterly dividend
of $.07 per share, or a total of $281,000.

The Company's Board of Directors has approved the Company's repurchase of a
total of 458,000 shares of its Common Stock.  Through April 30, 1996, the
Company had purchased a total of 233,725 shares, for an aggregate purchase
price of $1.7 million.  The Company has repurchased none of its shares during
1996.

On a quarterly basis, the Company's management reviews the carrying value of
the Company's mortgage notes receivable and properties held for sale and
periodically, but no less than annually its properties held for investment.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the carrying value of
such assets cannot exceed the lower of their respective carrying amounts or
estimated net realizable value.  In the initial instance when estimated net
realizable value of a mortgage note receivable or a property held for sale is
less than the carrying amount at the time of evaluation, a reserve is
established and a corresponding provision for loss is recorded by a charge
against earnings.  A subsequent revision to estimated net realizable value
either increases or decreases such reserve with a corresponding charge against
or credit to earnings.  In the case of properties held for investment the
carrying value of the property is written down and a provision for loss is
recorded.  The estimate of net realizable value of the Company's mortgage notes
receivable is based on management's review and evaluation of the collateral
property securing the mortgage note.  The property review generally includes
selective property inspections, a review of the property's current rents
compared to market rents, a review of the property's expenses, a review of
maintenance requirements, discussions with the manager of the property and a
review of the surrounding area.  See "Recent Accounting Pronouncement," below.

Results of Operations

The Company's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $1.1
million as compared to net loss of $951,000 in the corresponding period in
1995.  The Company's 1996 net loss includes an extraordinary gain of $48,000
and gains on sales of  real estate of $1.7 million and its 1995 net loss
includes an extraordinary gain of $1.3 million.  Fluctuations in the major
components of the Company's revenues and expenses between the 1995 and 1996
periods are discussed below.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

Rents in the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $11.2 million as compared
to $11.1 million in the corresponding period in 1995.  Of this increase,
$458,000 is due to the acquisition of 100% ownership of Shadow Run Associates,
$206,000 is due to the obtaining, through foreclosure, of the Gladstell Forest
Apartments, $1.4 million is due to increases in rental rates and occupancy,
$187,000 is due to increases in common area maintenance assessments and
$245,000 is due to decreases in discounts, all at the Company's commercial
properties.  These increases are partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million
due to four properties being sold subsequent to March 31, 1995 and $1.4 million
due to increases in discounts and concessions at two of the Company's
commercial properties.

Property operations expense in the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $7.4
million as compared to $7.3 million in the corresponding period in 1995.  Of
this increase, $226,000 is due to the acquisition of 100% ownership of Shadow
Run Associates, $128,000 is due to the obtaining of the Gladstell Forest
Apartments, and $348,000 is due to an increase in expenses at several of the
Company's commercial properties.  These increases are partially offset by a
decrease of $601,000 due to four properties being sold subsequent to March 31,
1995 and $74,000 due to decreases in tax and insurance expense at several of
the Company's commercial and land properties.

Interest income increased to $412,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996
from $374,000 in the corresponding period in 1995.  The increase is due
primarily to an increase in short-term investment income.

Equity in income (loss) of investees was a loss of $45,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to income of $71,000 for the corresponding period
in 1995.  The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interest income at one
of the Company's partnerships and higher expenses at Income Opportunity Realty
Investors, Inc.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $3.8 million as
compared to $3.6 million for the corresponding period in 1995.  Of this
increase, $345,000 is attributable to property financings and refinancings
subsequent to March 31, 1995 and $238,000 is due to the acquisition of
properties subject to debt in 1995.  These increases are partially offset by a
decrease of $382,000 due to four properties being sold subsequent to March 31,
1995.

Depreciation expense increased to $2.1 million in the three months ended March
31, 1996 as compared to $2.0 million in the corresponding period  in 1995.  Of
this increase, $77,000 is due to two property acquisitions during 1995 and
$161,000 is due to capital and tenant improvements.  These increases are
partially offset by a decrease of $161,000 due to four properties being sold
subsequent to March 31, 1995.

Advisory fee to affiliate of $478,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996
approximated the $488,000 in the corresponding period in 1995.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

General and administrative expenses increased to $580,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $461,000 in the corresponding period in 1995.
The increase is primarily attributable to increased legal fees primarily
related to litigation where the Company is the plaintiff and increased advisor
cost reimbursements.

In the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company recognized gains on sale
of real estate totaling $1.7 million on the sales of the Cheyenne Mountain land
and the Park Forest Apartments, both of which were held for sale.  No such
gains were recognized in 1995.  In the three months ended March 31, 1996, the
Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $48,000 on the paydown of the
mortgage debt secured by the Dunes Plaza Shopping Center.  In the three months
ended March 31, 1995, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $1.3
million on the payoff of the mortgage debt secured by the Fountain Village
Apartments.

Tax Matters

As more fully discussed in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K, the Company has
elected and, in the opinion of the Company's management, qualified to be taxed
as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), as defined under Sections 856
through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code").  To
continue to qualify for federal taxation as a REIT under the Code, the Company
is required to hold at least 75% of the value of its total assets in real
estate assets, government securities, cash and cash equivalents at the close of
each quarter of each taxable year.  The Code also requires a REIT to distribute
at least 95% of its REIT taxable income, plus 95% of its net income from
foreclosure property, all as defined in Section 857 of the Code, on an annual
basis to stockholders.

Inflation

The effects of inflation on the Company's operations are not quantifiable.
Revenues from property operations generally fluctuate proportionately with
inflationary increases and decreases in housing costs.  Fluctuations in  the
rate of inflation also affect the sales values of properties, and
correspondingly, the ultimate gains to be realized by the Company from property
sales.  To the effect that inflation affects interest rates, the Company's
earnings from short- term investments and the cost of new financings as well as
the cost of its variable note financing will be affected.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, the Company may be potentially liable for removal or remediation
costs, as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic
substances (including governmental fines and injuries

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Environmental Matters (Continued)

to persons and property) where property-level managers have arranged for the
removal, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances.  In addition,
certain environmental laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing
materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from the Company
for personal injury associated with such materials.

The Company's management is not aware of any environmental liability relating
to the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, assets or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.  121 - "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of".
The statement requires that long-lived assets be considered impaired "...if the
sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest
charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset."  If impairment exists,
an impairment loss shall be recognized, by a charge against earnings, equal to
"...the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value
of the asset."  If impairment of a long-lived asset is recognized, the carrying
amount of the asset shall be reduced by the amount of the impairment, shall be
accounted for as the asset's "new cost" and such new cost shall be depreciated
over the asset's remaining useful life.

SFAS No. 121 further requires that long-lived assets held for sale "...be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell."  If
a reduction in a held for sale asset's carrying amount to fair value less cost
to sell is required, a provision for loss shall be recognized by a charge
against earnings.  Subsequent revisions, either upward or downward, to a held
for sale asset's fair value less cost to sell shall be recorded as an
adjustment to the asset's carrying amount, but not in excess of the assets
carrying amount when originally classified or held for sale.  A corresponding
charge or credit to earnings is to be recognized.  Long-lived assets held for
sale are not to be depreciated.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 121 effective
January 1, 1996.

The effect of adopting SFAS No. 121 was the discontinuance of depreciation on
the Company's one apartment complex held for sale of $24,000 and a
corresponding reduction in the Company's reported gain on the March 1996 sale
of the property.
