PART I

Item 1. Business
- ----------------

    The Registrant, Amrecorp Realty Fund III, (the "Partnership"),
is a limited partnership organized under the Texas Uniform Limited
Partnership Act pursuant to a Certificate of Limited Partnership
dated August 3O, 1985 and amended on November 21, 1985. On December
31, 1995, the Partnership consisted of a corporate general partner,
LBAL, Inc. (wholly owned by Robert J. Werra) and 277 limited
partners owning 2,382 limited partnership interests at $1,000 per
interest. The distribution of limited partnership interests
commenced November 26, 1985 pursuant to a Registration Statement on
Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933 (Registration #33-00152)
as amended.

     The Partnership was organized to acquire a diversified
portfolio of income-producing real properties, primarily
apartments, as well as office buildings, industrial buildings, and
other similar properties

     The Partnership intends to continue until December 31, 2015
unless terminated by an earlier sale of its Properties.

     Univesco, Inc., a Texas corporation, wholly owned by Robert J.
Werra, ("Univesco") manages the affairs of the Partnership.
Univesco  acts as the managing agent with respect to the
Partnership's Properties.  Univesco may also engage other on-site
property managers and other agents, to the extent management
considers appropriate. Univesco and the general partner make all
decisions regarding investments in and disposition of Properties
and has ultimate authority regarding all property management
decisions.

     No material expenditure has been made or is anticipated for
either Partnership-sponsored or consumer research and development
activities relating to the development or improvement of facilities
or services provided by the Partnership. There neither has been,
nor are any anticipated, material expenditures required to comply
with any federal, state or local environmental provisions which
would materially affect the earnings or competitive position of the
Partnership.

     The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of real
estate investments. Its business is believed by management to fall
entirely within a single industry segment. Management does not
anticipate that there will be any material seasonal affects upon
the operation of the Partnership.


Competition and Other Factors

The majority of the Property's leases are of six to twelve month
terms. Accordingly, operating income is highly susceptible to
varying market conditions. Occupancy and street rents are driven by
general market conditions which include job creation, new
construction of single and multi-family projects, and demolition
and other reduction in net supply of apartment units.

Rents and occupancies have generally been increasing in recent
years due to the generally positive relationship between apartment
unit supply and demand in the Partnership's markets. However, the
property is subject to substantial competition from similar and
often newer properties in the vicinity in which they are located.
In addition,  operating expenses and capitalized expenditures have
increased as units are updated and made more competitive in the
market place.

Item 2. Properties
- ---------------------

At December 31, 1995 the Partnership owned Las Brisas Apartment, a
376 unit apartment community located at 2010 South Clark Street,
Abilene, Taylor County, Texas 79606. The Partnership purchased a
fee simple interest in Las Brisas Apartments on July 30, 1986. The
property contains approximately 312,532 net rentable square feet,
one clubhouse, and five laundry facilities located on approximately
19.11 acres of land.

The property is encumbered by a mortgage note payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest through December 31, 2003,
when a lump-sum payment of approximately $2,642,000 is due.  For
information regarding the encumbrances to which the properties are
subject and the status of the related mortgage loans, see "
Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" contained
in Item 7 hereof and Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements
and Schedule Index contained in Item 8.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings
- -----------------------------

     The Partnership is not engaged in any material legal proceedings.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

     There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.

     By virtue of its organization as a limited partnership, the
Partnership has outstanding no securities possessing traditional
voting rights. However, as provided and qualified in the Limited
Partnership Agreement, limited partners have voting rights for,
among other things, the removal of the General Partner and
dissolution of the Partnership.

                           PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholders Matters
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Partnerships outstanding securities  are in the form of Limited
Partnership Interests ("Interests"). As of December 31, 1987
aggregate subscriptions totaling $2,128,000 were received
representing 2,382 Interests. A public market for trading Interests
has not developed and none is expected to develop. In addition,
transfer of an Interest is restricted pursuant to the Limited
Partnership Agreement.

The General Partner continues to review the Partnership's ability
to make distributions on a quarter by quarter basis, however, no
such distributions have been made to the limited partners in
several years and none are anticipated in the immediate future due
to required debt service payments and the existence of the Special
Limited Partner, Mr. Robert J. Werra.  The Special Limited Partner
has first right to all net operating cash flow and net proceeds
from disposals of assets to the extent of the special limited
partner distribution preference.  During 1995 and 1994, the Special
Limited Partner received distributions from the Partnership
totaling $170,000 and $75,000, respectively.

An analysis of income or (loss) allocated, and cash distributed  to
Investors per $1,000 unit is as follows:

 and Results of Operations
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

This discussion should be read in conjunction with Item 6- Selected
Financial Data and Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplemental
Information .

Results of Operations: 1995 VERSUS 1994 -

Revenue from Property Operations increased $83,964 or 6.4% as
compared to 1994, principally due to an increase in rents and
occupancy resulting from improvements in the apartment rental
markets in Abilene, Texas.

Property operating expenses for 1995 decreased $133,212 or 10.3%.Payroll
increases were primarily the result of cost of living increases and
additional uses of contract labor. Repair and maintenance expenses increased
primarily due to mandated repairs and in bringing additional units on line.
Interest expense decreased by $3,882 from 1994 due to normal principal
amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased due to $68,867
in improvements, principally appliances and other improvements to apartment
units. Property management fees are paid to an affiliated entity and
represents 4% of gross operating revenues (see Note 4 to Consolidated
Financial Statements and Schedule Index contained in Item 8.) The following
table illustrates the increases or (decreases):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS;  1994 VERSUS 1993-

Revenue from property operations for 1994 increased $112,593 or 9.4% as
compared to 1993, principally due to an increase in rents and occupancy
resulting from improvements in the apartment rental markets in Abilene,
Texas.

Property operating expenses for 1994 decreased $124,467 or 8.9 %. Payroll
increases were primarily the result of cost of living increases. Repair and
maintenance expenses increased  primarily due to mandated repairs and
reserves as a result of commitments imposed by covenants in refinancing loan
documents and in bringing additional units on line. Interest Expense
decreased by $167,485 from 1993 due to refinancing of the mortgage on
November 12, 1993. The new note is an 8.15%, ten year mortgage loan from
Lexington Mortgage Company. The loan proceeds were obtained through a Real
Estate Mortgage Investment Company sponsored by Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette.
The $3,250,000 mortgage loan provides for monthly payments of $25,408 based
on an amortization schedule of 300 months with a final payment of the entire
remaining principal balance on December 1, 2003.

The proceeds of this new loan were used to pay off the $2,500,000 and
$2,300,000 mortgage notes which previously held the first mortgage position.
The old first mortgage provided a discount of approximately ten percent (10%)
of the outstanding balances of the two old notes. The balance of funds needed
to retire the old notes (approximately $100,000) were provided by an
affiliate of the General Partner. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased $10,752 over 1993. The increase is partially due to $71,602 in
improvements, principally appliances and other improvements to apartment
units. Property management fees are paid to an affiliated entity and
represent 4% (5% prior to November 15, 1993), of gross operating revenues
(see Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedule Index
contained in Item 8.)  The following table illustrates the increases or
(decreases):

Liquidity and  Capital Resources

While it is the General Partners primary intention to operate and
manage the existing real estate investment, the General Partner
also continually evaluates this investment in light of current
economic conditions and trends to determine if this assets should
be considered for disposal. At this time, there is no plan to
dispose of Las Brisas Apartments.

As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had $35,124 in cash and
cash equivalents as compared to $72,051 as of December 31, 1994.
The net decrease in cash of $36,927 is principally due to the net
loss from operations and distributions on special limited partner
equity (see Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements and
Schedule Index contained in Item 8.). Additional uses of cash were
for the  property additions described above.

The property is encumbered by a non-recourse mortgage with a
principal balance of $3,163,388 as of December 31, 1995.  The
mortgage payable bears interest at 8.15% and is payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest until December 2003 when a
lump-sum payment of approximately $2,642,000 is due.  The required
principal reductions for the five years ending December 31, 2000,
are $48,877, $53,012, $57,498, $62,363 and $67,640, respectively.

For the foreseeable future, the Partnership anticipates that
mortgage principal payments ( excluding balloon mortgage payments),
improvements and capital expenditures will be funded by net cash
from operations. The primary source of capital to fund future
Partnership acquisitions and balloon mortgage payments  will be
proceeds from the sale financing or refinancing of the Property.

The $2,023,233 in Special Limited Partner equity is the result of
previous fundings for operating deficits and other partner loans
made to the Partnership by a related entity. These loans were
reclassified to equity during 1993.  The Special Limited Partner
has first right to all net operating cash flows and net proceeds
from disposals of assets to the extent of the Special Limited
Partners distribution preference.  During 1995 and 1994, the
Special Limited Partner received distributions from the Partnership
totaling $170,000 and $75,000, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the General Partner
   and Limited Partners
Amrecorp Realty Fund III
Dallas, Texas

We have audited the balance sheets of Amrecorp Realty Fund III
(a Texas limited partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of
operations, partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  Our
audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in
the index at Item 14(a)(2).  These financial statements and the
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and the financial statement
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Amrecorp
Realty Fund III at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our
opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set
forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1, during 1995, the Partnership adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."

AMRECORP REALTY FUND III
(A Texas Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Basis of Accounting - Amrecorp Realty Fund III (a Texas limited
   partnership) (the "Partnership") maintains its books and
   prepares its income tax returns using the accrual income tax
   basis of accounting.  Memo adjustments have been made in
   preparing the accompanying financial statements in accordance
   with generally accepted accounting principles (see Note 5).  The
   financial statements include only those assets, liabilities and
   results of operations which relate to the business of the
   Partnership.  The financial statements do not include any
   assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses attributable to the
   partners' individual activities.
   
   Property and Equipment - Buildings and improvements are
   depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated
   useful lives of the assets which are five years for improvements
   and 25 years for buildings.  The Partnership has adopted
   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."  Accordingly, Partnership
   management routinely reviews its investments for impairment
   whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
   carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The
   adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material effect on the
   financial statements of the Partnership.
   
   Syndication Costs - Costs or fees incurred to raise capital for
   the Partnership are netted against the respective partners'
   equity accounts.
   
   Revenue Recognition - The Partnership has leased substantially
   all of its investment in real estate (apartment building) under
   operating leases for periods generally less than one year.
   
   Income Taxes - No provision has been made for income taxes,
   since these taxes are the responsibility of the individual
   partners.  For tax purposes, the basis of the Partnership assets
   is $2,854,000 at December 31, 1995.
   
   Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
   conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
   requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
   affect reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues
   and expenses as of and for the reporting periods.  Actual
   results may differ from such estimates.
   
   Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of
   cash flows, the Partnership considers all highly liquid
   instruments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of
   three months or less to be cash equivalents.
   
2. PARTNERSHIP
   
   General - The Partnership was formed on August 30, 1985, under
   the Texas Uniform Limited Partnership Act, for the purpose of
<PAGE>
   acquiring, maintaining, developing, operating and selling
   buildings and improvements.  The Partnership owns and operates
   an apartment property in Abilene, Texas.  The Partnership will
   be terminated by December 31, 2015, although this date can be
   extended if certain events occur.
   
   LBAL, Inc., a Texas corporation wholly owned by Mr. Robert J.
   Werra, is the general partner; Mr. Werra is the first special
   limited partner and third special limited partner.  An affiliate
   of the general partner is the second special limited partner.
   An aggregate of 25,000 limited partner units at $1,000 per unit
   are authorized, of which 2,382 units were issued and outstanding
   during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.  Under
   the terms of the partnership agreement, no additional limited
   partner units will be offered.  Effective November 1, 1993, the
   partnership agreement was amended to establish a first, second
   and third special limited partner status as outlined above.
   
   Allocation of Net Income (Loss) and Cash - Net income and net
   operating cash flow as defined in the partnership agreement are
   allocated first to the limited partners in an amount equal to a
   distribution preference (as defined) on capital contributions
   from the first day of the month following their capital
   contribution and thereafter generally 10% to the general partner
   and 90% to the limited partners.  Net loss is allocated 1% to
   the general partner and 99% to the limited partners.
   
   Net income from the sale of property is allocated first, to the
   extent there are cumulative net losses, 1% to the general
   partner and 99% to the limited partners; second, to the limited
   partners in an amount equal to their distribution preference as
   determined on the date of the partners' entry into the
   Partnership; and thereafter 15% to the general partner and 85%
   to the limited partners.
   
   Cash proceeds from the sale of property or refinancing are
   allocated first to the limited partners to the extent of their
   capital contributions and distribution preference as determined
   on the date of the partners' entry into the Partnership and
   thereafter 15% to the general partner and 85% to the limited
   partners.
   
   All distributions of net operating cash flow and net proceeds of
   the Partnership shall be distributed first to the special
   limited partners to satisfy the special limited partner
   distribution preference, then to repay any unreturned portion of
   their contribution.  Any additional available cash will be
   distributed in accordance with the partnership agreement.
   During 1995 and 1994, distributions of $170,000 and $75,000,
   respectively, were made to the special limited partners in
   accordance with this agreement.
   
3. MORTGAGE PAYABLE
   
   The mortgage payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994, consisted of
   an 8.15% mortgage note which is payable in monthly principal and
   interest installments of $25,408 through December 2003, at which
   time a lump-sum payment of approximately $2,642,000 is due.
   
   The mortgage payable, which had a balance of $3,163,388 and
   $3,208,542 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, is
   collateralized by the investments in real estate.
   
   During 1993, the Partnership repaid the then existing mortgage
   notes with proceeds obtained from a $3,250,000, 8.15% mortgage
   note and certain contributions by the special limited partners.
   As part of this transaction, a gain on forgiveness (net of
   direct costs to refinance the debt instruments of $193,710) of
   $130,537 was recorded.
   
   Also during 1993, a note payable of $49,477 was forgiven by the
   creditor.  The entire amount of the note and accrued interest of
   $2,782 was recorded as a gain on forgiveness.
 <PAGE>
  
   The following sets forth the required principal payments due
   under the Partnership's mortgage for the next five years and
   thereafter:

1996                                                   $48,877
1997                                                    53,012
1998                                                    57,498       
1999                                                    62,363
2000                                                    67,640        
Thereafter                                           2,873,998        
                                                        

   In conjunction with its mortgage payable, the Partnership is
   required to fund a liquidity reserve and a capital replacement
   reserve.  Both reserves are refundable to the Partnership.
   
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
   
   The Partnership has an agreement with Univesco, Inc. (Univesco),
   an affiliated entity, for the management of its project under
   which Univesco receives 4% (5% prior to November 15, 1993) of
   the gross revenues from operations as a property management fee.
   Beginning November 15, 1993, Univesco receives a Partnership fee
   equal to 1% of gross revenues from operations to be paid from
   Excess Property Income, as defined in the loan agreement.  The
   following schedule represents the amounts included as management
   and Partnership fees recorded by the Partnership:
   
                                        1995       1994      1993
                                                           
Property management fees               $55,637   $52,278   $58,225
Partnership fees                        13,909    13,070     1,493

   Upon sale of a property, the Partnership will pay a real estate
   commission to the general partner or their affiliates in an
   amount not exceeding the lesser of 50% of the amounts
   customarily charged by others rendering similar services or 3%
   of the gross sales price.
   
   The Partnership has been advanced funds from Univesco to pay
   operating expenses.  In September 1990, the Partnership entered
   into a formal note agreement for certain advances in the amount
   of $184,407.  During 1990, the note was assigned to the general
   partner.  Effective January 1, 1991, the general partner
   relieved the Partnership of its obligation to repay these
   amounts, resulting in a gain on forgiveness of debt which, in
   accordance with the partnership agreement, was allocated
   entirely to the general partner during 1991.  As of January 1,
   1993, this note was reinstated on the Partnership's financial
   statements at a face value of $184,407.  The Partnership
   accounted for this as a distribution to the general partner.  In
   November 1993, the general partner assigned this note to the
   Partnership, for which the Partnership recorded a contribution
   to special limited partner equity with a corresponding decrease
   to mortgages and notes payable.  No interest expense was
   incurred on this note during 1992 or 1993.
   
   In November 1993, an affiliate of the general partner assigned a
   $401,911 note payable to the Partnership, for which the
   Partnership recorded a contribution to special limited partner
   equity with a corresponding decrease in notes payable to
   affiliates.  During 1993, interest expense incurred on this note
   through the date of the assignment was $34,575.
   
   In 1989, the general partner obtained an option to purchase the
   underlying wraparound mortgage notes.  This option was exercised
   in 1993, and the mortgage notes were assigned to the Partnership.  The
<PAGE>
   assignment was recorded as a $1,573,408 contribution to special limited
   partner equity with a corresponding decrease to mortgages and notes
   payable.
   
   In connection with the November 1993 debt refinancing, the first
   special limited partner paid closing costs of approximately
   $108,507 on behalf of the Partnership.  The Partnership recorded
   this transfer as a contribution to special limited partner
   equity.
   
5. RECONCILIATION OF BOOK TO TAX LOSS (UNAUDITED)
   
   If the accompanying financial statements had been prepared in
   accordance with the accrual income tax basis of accounting
   rather than generally accepted accounting principles, the excess
   of expenses over revenues for 1995 would have been as follows:
   
Net loss per accompanying financial statements        $(29,697)
Add - book basis depreciation expense using straight- 
 line method                                           253,823
Deduct - income tax basis amortization of loan costs   (19,705)
Deduct - income tax basis depreciation expense using          
 ACRS method                                          (215,404)
                                                      --------        
Excess of expenses over revenues, accrual income tax 
 basis                                                $(10,983)
                                                     =========

6. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
   
   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107,
   "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
   requires disclosure of the estimated fair values of certain
   financial instruments.  The estimated fair value amounts have
   been determined using available market information or other
   appropriate valuation methodologies that require considerable
   judgment in interpreting market data and developing estimates.
   Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
   indicative of the amounts that the Partnership could realize in
   a current market exchange.  The use of different market
   assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material
   effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
   
   The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or
   reprice frequently and have a history of negligible credit
   losses is considered to approximate their carrying value.  These
   include cash and cash equivalents, short-term receivables,
   accounts payable and other liabilities.  Real estate and other
   assets consist of nonfinancial instruments, which are excluded
   from the scope of SFAS No. 107
   
   Management has reviewed the carrying values of its mortgage
   payable in connection with interest rates currently available to
   the Partnership for borrowings with similar characteristics and
   maturities and has determined that its carrying value
   approximates its estimated fair value as of December 31, 1995.
   
   As of December 31, 1995, the fair value information presented
   herein is based on pertinent information available to
   management.  Although management is not aware of any factors
   that would significantly affect the estimated fair value
   amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for
   purposes of these financial statements since that date, and
   therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ
   significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Item 9. Disagreements on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
- --------------------------------------------------------------

     The Registrant has not been involved in any disagreements on
accounting and financial disclosure.


                                 PART III


Item 10. Directors and Executive Officer of the Partnership
- -------------------------------------------------------------
     The Partnership itself has no officers or directors.  LBAL, Inc., a
Texas Corporation, which is wholly owned by Robert J. Werra, is the General
Partner of the Partnership.

     Robert J. Werra, 54, joined Loewi & Co., Incorporated ("Loewi") in
1967 as a Registered Representative.  In 1971, he formed the Loewi real
estate department, and was responsible for its first sales of privately
placed real estate programs. Loewi Realty was incorporated in 1974, as a
wholly owned subsidiary of Loewi & Co., with Mr. Werra as President. In
198O, Mr. Werra, along with three other individuals, formed Amrecorp Inc.
to purchase the stock of Loewi Real Estate Inc., and Loewi Realty. In 1991
Univesco, Inc. became the management agent for the Partnership.  Limited
Partners have no right to participate in management of the Partnership.


Item 11. Management Remuneration and Transactions
- -----------------------------------------------------
     As stated above, the Partnership has no officers or directors.
Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General
Partner receives 1% of Partnership income and loss and up to 15% of Net
Proceeds received from sale or refinancing of Partnership properties (after
return of Limited Partner capital contributions and payment of a 6% Current
Distribution Preference thereon).

     The Partnership Agreement allows for a management fee of five percent
(5%) of the gross income from operations.  In connection with the new loan
obtained from Lexington Mortgage Company, Univesco, Inc. entered into a
management agreement that pays Univesco, Inc., an affiliated company, four
percent (4%) of the monthly gross income from operations. The Partnership's
obligation to pay an additional one percent (1%) of the monthly gross
income from operations shall be paid by the Partnership from Excess
Property Income, as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement between
Lexington Mortgage Company and the Partnership dated November 12, 1993. The
Partnership is also permitted to engage in various transactions involving
affiliates of the General Partner as described under the caption
"Compensation and Fees" at pages 6-8, "Management" at pages 18-20 and
"Allocation of Net Income and Losses and Cash Distributions" at pages 49-51
of the Prospectus as supplemented, incorporated in the Form S-11
Registration Statement which was filed with the Securities and Exchange
