ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

         This Amendment to Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the shares of
Shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares") of
TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC., a Nevada corporation ("TCI" or
the"Issuer") and further amends the original Statement on Schedule 13D as
amended by Amendment Nos. 1 through 32 thereof (the "Amended Statement") filed
by and on behalf of the "Reporting Persons" described below. The principal
executive offices of TCI are located at 10670 N. Central Expressway, Suite 600,
Dallas, Texas 75231. The CUSIP number of the Shares is 893617-20-9.

         This Amendment No. 33 to Schedule 13D is being filed due to a
significant decrease in the total percentage of outstanding Shares owned by two
of the Reporting Persons through June 30, 2000, most of which occurred on June
16, 2000. During the period ending June 30, 2000, the collective beneficial
ownership of the Reporting Persons decreased from approximately 59% of the
issued and outstanding Shares down to 37.3% of the Shares. The decrease was due
to margin sales by brokers of Shares pledged in margin accounts by ART and BCM.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         Item 2 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended as follows:

         This Amendment is being filed on behalf of American Realty Trust, Inc.,
a Georgia corporation ("ART"), Basic Capital Management, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("BCM"), ART Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("AHI"), The Gene
E. Phillips Children's Trust (the "GEP Trust") and Syntek Asset Management,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("SAM LP"), each of which have their
principal executive offices located at 10670 N. Central Expressway, Suite 600,
Dallas, Texas 75231. All of ART, BCM, AHI, the GEP Trust and SAM LP are
collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons." The Reporting Persons may
be deemed to constitute a "person" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because Gene E. Phillips is a

----------

         * Under varying arrangements during the period from June 15, 2000,
through June 30, 2000, certain brokerage firms where Shares were pledged by ART,
AHI, BCM and GEP Trust allegedly foreclosed upon such arrangements and sold for
the account of ART or AHI or BCM or GEP Trust as applicable, certain Shares
pledged as indicated by the dispositions set forth above.

         After giving effect to the margin sale dispositions described above, as
of June 30, 2000, the GEP Trust ceased to own of record or beneficially any
Shares and therefore will be considered to be removed from this Schedule 13D as
to future Amendments unless the GEP Trust acquires Shares in the future.

         (d) No person other than the Reporting Persons or its respective Board
of Directors, General Partners or Trustee is known to have the right to receive
or the power to direct receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of sale of,
the Shares held by each of the Reporting Persons, subject to the matters set
forth in Item 6 below.

         (e)  Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         Item 6 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended to read as
follows:

         ART has pledged 152,212 Shares to United Pacific Bank pursuant to a
loan agreement with such lender. ART has also pledged 249,191 Shares to
Preferred Bank pursuant to a loan agreement with such lender. The remaining
1,717,997 Shares owned by ART may be deemed to be "collateral" for borrowings
pursuant to margin or other account arrangements with banks and brokerage firms
relating to accounts of ART. Such arrangements are standard arrangements
involving margin securities of up to a specified percentage of the market value
of the Shares and bear interest at varying rates and contain only standard
default and similar provisions, the operation of any of which should not give
any other person immediate voting power or investment power over such
securities. Such arrangements exist with the Shares and other securities held in
such accounts, and it is impracticable at any given time to determine the
amounts, if any, with respect to the Shares and interest costs under such
arrangements vary with applicable costs and account balances.

         All 1,053,876 Shares owned by BCM may be deemed to be "collateral" for
borrowings pursuant to margin or other account arrangements with bankers and
brokerage firms relating to accounts of BCM. Such arrangements are standard
arrangements involving margin securities of up to a specified percentage of the
market value of the Shares and bear interest at varying rates and contain only
standard default and similar provisions, the operation of any of which should
not give any other person immediate voting power or investment power over such
securities. Such arrangements exist with the Shares and other securities held in
such accounts, and it is impracticable at any given time to determine the
amounts, if any, with respect to the Shares and interest costs under such
arrangements vary with applicable costs and account balances.

         All 16,000 Shares owned by AHI may be deemed to be "collateral" for
borrowings pursuant to margin or other account arrangements with two separate
brokerage firms relating to accounts of AHI. Such arrangements with both
brokerage firms are standard arrangements involving margin securities of up to a
specified


                                       -8-

percentage of the market value of the Shares, as well as other securities in
such accounts, and bear interest at varying rates and contain only standard
default and similar provisions, the operation of any of which should not give
any other person immediate voting power or investment power over the Shares.

         All 26,475 Shares owned by SAM LP may be deemed to be "collateral" for
borrowings pursuant to margin or other account arrangements with Bear Stearns
relating to an account of SAM LP. Such arrangement with such brokerage firm is a
standard arrangement involving margin securities of up to a specified percentage
of the market value of all securities in such account, including the Shares, and
bears interest at varying rates and contains only standard default and similar
provisions, the operation of which should not give any other person immediate
voting power or investment power over such securities.

         Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs, the Reporting Persons
do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal
or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer
including finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or
calls, guaranties of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or
withholding of proxies.
