                -------------------------------------------------

     This  Amendment  No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed to report  changes in
the beneficial  ownership of M. Ted Dillard  ("Dillard") in shares of the Common
Stock (the "Common  Stock") of  Diversified  Corporate  Resources,  Inc. a Texas
corporation (the "Company").  Dillard beneficially owns 134,000 shares of Common
Stock at this time.

     In 1996,  the Company  granted to Dillard  options (the "1996  Options") to
purchase  an  aggregate  of  105,000  shares of  Common  Stock  pursuant  to the
Company's Amended and Restated Nonqualified Stock Option Plan. On July 17, 1998,
Dillard  exercised  options to purchase 84,000 shares of Common Stock underlying
the 1996 Options for an aggregate purchase price of $257,250. The purchase price
was paid with 7,500 shares of Common Stock, valued at $89,500, and the remainder
was paid in cash obtained  through a margin loan (the "Margin  Loan") secured by
shares of Common  Stock.  The  Margin  Loan  involved a third  party  lender not
affiliated with the Company.  In connection with this  transaction the following
has occurred:

                  a. On July 17, 1998, the Company loaned Dillard  $148,600 (the
         "Tax  Loan") to cover his  income  tax  liability  associated  with the
         transaction.  The Tax Loan (i) bears interest at the applicable federal
         rate,  which  interest  is payable  quarterly,  (ii) is  collateralized
         (pursuant to a Security  Agreement  executed by Mr.  Dillard) by 20,000
         shares of the Common Stock, and (iii) is due July 17, 2003.

                  b. On October 1, 1998, the Company  advanced  Dillard  $38,562
         against  his 1998 bonus to cover a margin call in  connection  with the
         Margin Loan.

                  c. On October 12, 1998, the Company loaned $125,300 to Dillard
         (the "Company  Loan") to cover a second margin call in connection  with
         the Margin  Loan and to repay the Margin  Loan.  The  Company  Loan (i)
         bears  interest at 8%,  which  interest is payable  quarterly,  (ii) is
         collateralized  (pursuant  to a  Security  Agreement  executed  by  Mr.
         Dillard) by 35,400 shares of the Company's  Common Stock,  and (iii) is
         due October 12, 2001. The collateral  securing the Company Loan will be
         increased if the market value of the Common Stock declines to the point
         where the market value of all shares pledged to the Company pursuant to
         this  Security  Agreement  is less  than the  principal  amount  of the
         Company  Loan.  Subject to  Regulation  G  promulgated  by the  Federal
         Reserve  Board,  the  collateral  securing  the  Company  Loan  will be
         decreased if the market  value of the shares of Common Stock  increases
         to the point  where  the  market  value of all  shares  pledged  to the
         Company  pursuant  to  this  Security  Agreement  is in  excess  of the
         principal amount of the Company Loan.

                  d. On October 23, 1998, the Compensation  Committee  approved,
         and the Board of Directors  ratified,  the repricing of certain options
         to purchase  shares of Common Stock that are held by certain  employees
         of the Company,  including the remaining options held by Dillard.  Such
         action  reduced to $5.125 per share the exercise  price with respect to
         Dillard's  options  to  purchase  87,667  shares of Common  Stock.  The
         Compensation  Committee  and the Board of  Directors  also  imposed the
         condition  that  no  repriced  options,  including  Dillard's  repriced
         options, may be exercised prior to October 23, 1998.

         At the present time, but subject to Dillard's continuing  evaluation of
the factors noted below,  and the terms of the Security  Agreements  referred to
above,  it is  intended  that  Dillard  will  retain the shares of Common  Stock
beneficially  owned by him and as a  shareholder  of the Company  will  exercise
influence over matters relating to the Company requiring  shareholder  approval,
including the election of the  directors of the Company,  and as President and a
director  of the  Company  will  exercise  influence  over  the  operations  and
financial policies of the Company and its subsidiaries.

         Whether  Dillard  purchases  or  otherwise   acquires  or  disposes  of
additional shares of Common Stock, and the amount, method and timing of any such
purchases or acquisitions,  will depend upon Dillard's continuing  assessment of
pertinent  factors,  including,  among other things:  the  availability  of such
shares for purchase or acquisition at particular price levels or upon particular
terms; the business and prospects of Dillard and the Company; other business and
investment opportunities available to Dillard; economic conditions; money market
and stock market  conditions;  the attitude and actions of other shareholders of
the Company;  the  availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of Common
Stock;  the provisions of the Security  Agreements  referred to above, and other
plans and  requirements  of  Dillard.  Depending  upon his  assessment  of these
factors  from time to time,  Dillard may elect to acquire  additional  shares of
Common  Stock (by means of  privately  negotiated  purchases  of shares,  market
purchases,  a tender offer,  a merger or otherwise) or to dispose of some or all
of his shares of Common Stock.

         Other than as mentioned above,  Dillard does not have any present plans
or proposals that relate to or would result in:

               a. The  acquisition  or  disposition  by  Dillard  of  additional
          securities of the Company.

               b. Any  extraordinary  corporate  transactions,  such as material
          mergers, reorganizations or liquidations, involving the Company or any
          of its subsidiaries.

               c. A sale or  transfer  of a  material  amount  of  assets of the
          Company or any of its subsidiaries.

               d. A change in the current  board of directors or  management  of
          the Company,  including any plans or proposals to change the number or
          term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board.

               e. Any material change in the current  capitalization or dividend
          policy of the Company.

               f.  Any  other  material  change  in the  Company's  business  or
          corporate structure.

               g. Changes in the  Company's  articles or bylaws or other actions
          that may impede  the  acquisition  of  control  of the  Company by any
          person.

               h.  Causing a class of the  Company's  securities  to be delisted
          from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
          quoted in an inter-dealer  quotation  system of a registered  national
          securities association.

               i. A class of equity  securities of the Company becoming eligible
          for  termination  of  registration  pursuant  to  ss.12(g)(4)  of  the
          Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

               j. Any action similar to those above enumerated.

5.       Interest in Securities of the Issuer

                           -----------------------------------------

                           The  aggregate  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
         beneficially  owned by  Dillard  is  134,000  shares of  Common  Stock,
         amounting to approximately 5.0% of the Common Stock outstanding,  based
         on 2,703,397 shares  outstanding as of November 15, 1998. While Dillard
         holds options to purchase 87,667 shares of Common Stock,  none of these
         options  are  exercisable  within  sixty (60) days of the date  hereof.
         Thus,  the  aforesaid   percentage   ownership  is  calculated  on  the
         assumption  that none of the  shares  purchasable  under Mr.  Dillard's
         options are outstanding.

                  b.       Type of Ownership:
                           -----------------

                           Dillard  is deemed to have the sole  power to vote or
         to direct  the voting of and the sole power to dispose or to direct the
         disposition  of all of the  shares of Common  Stock  indicated  in item
         5(a).  Except as stated  herein,  Dillard does not currently  share the
         power to vote or to direct  the  voting of or the power to  dispose  or
         direct the disposition of any shares of Common Stock.

                  c.       Transactions in Securities:
                           --------------------------

                           Except  as  disclosed  herein,  there  have  been  no
         transactions  in the  securities  of the Company by Dillard  within the
         past sixty days.

                  d.       Not applicable.

                  e.       Not applicable.

6.       Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect
         ---------------------------------------------------------------------
         to Securities of the Issuer
         ---------------------------

         Except as disclosed in the Schedule 13D or in this  Amendment  No. 1 to
Schedule 13D,  Dillard has no contracts,  arrangements or undertakings  with any
person with respect to any securities of the Company.

                                 FIRST AMENDMENT
                                       TO
                   AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


         This First  Amendment  (the  "Amendment")  to the Amended and  Restated
Stock Option  Agreement  between  Diversified  Corporate  Resources,  Inc.  (the
"Company") and M. Ted Dillard  ("Optionee") is adopted  pursuant to the terms of
Article VIII of the Diversified  Corporate Resources,  Inc. Amended and Restated
1996 Stock Option Plan ("Plan").

         WHEREAS,  the Company has granted Optionee an option (the "Option") the
terms of which are set forth in an Amended and Restated  Stock Option  Agreement
to purchase a certain number of shares (individually and collectively, "Shares")
of the Company's common stock; and

         WHEREAS,  the Board has  proposed  that the vesting  provisions  of the
Option should provide for  acceleration  of its vesting in the event of a change
in  control  of the  Company  and a  subsequent  termination  of the  Optionee's
employment with the Company under certain circumstances and has further proposed
that the same provisions should apply to the Option; and

         WHEREAS, the Board therefor has proposed to amend the Option to provide
that,  upon a "Special  Change in Control" (as  described  below)  Optionee will
become fully vested in his Shares upon a subsequent  termination  of  employment
under the  circumstances  described  below  occurring prior to the final vesting
date under the terms of the Option; and

         WHEREAS, the Board has approved this First Amendment; and

         WHEREAS, the Optionee desires to enter into this First Amendment.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the Option is amended
as follows:

         1.       Paragraph 2 is  amended by adding  to the end  thereof  a  new
                  paragraph as follows:

                  "If  (i) a  "Special  Change  in  Control"  occurs,  and  (ii)
                  Optionee's  employment  with the  Company  terminates  for any
                  reason other than Voluntary  Resignation  or  Termination  for
                  Cause during the  twenty-four  (24) month period  beginning on
                  the Effective Date (as reasonably determined by the Committee)
                  of such Change in Control, then, notwithstanding any provision
                  of this  Agreement to the  contrary,  and without  limitation,
                  this Option will become exercisable with respect to all of the
                  Shares subject to this Option, at the exercise prices at which
                  the Option  would have  become  exercisable  if  Optionee  had
                  continued  in  employment  through  the dates set forth in the
                  preceding  paragraph  on which  the  Option  would  have  been
                  exercisable  with respect to all of the Shares subject to this
                  Option and will terminate as provided herein.

                  "For all purposes hereof,  "Voluntary  Termination" shall mean
                  the  Optionee's  resignation  from  the  Company  unless  such
                  resignation  is as a direct  proximate  result of (i)  without
                  Optionee's express written consent, the assignment to Optionee
                  of any  duties  materially  inconsistent  with his  positions,
                  duties,  responsibilities  and status  (including  his removal
