                  Central and South West Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("CSW") and a registered holding company under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, as amended (the "Act"), and CSW Credit, Inc., a Texas
corporation and a wholly-- owned non-utility subsidiary of CSW ("CSW Credit"),
hereby amend the Form U-1 Application-Declarations in File Nos. 70-7218 & 70--
7113 (the "Application-Declarations") and restate the Application-Declarations
in the following respects. In all other respects the Application-Declarations as
previously filed and amended will remain the same. Item 1. Description of the
Proposed Transaction.
                  CSW owns all of the common stock of four domestic electric
operating subsidiaries, Central Power and Light Company, Public Service Company
of Oklahoma, Southwestern Electric Power Company and West Texas Utilities
Company (collectively, the "CSW Operating Companies"). CSW's other subsidiaries
include CSW Energy, Inc., CSW Credit, CSW Leasing, Inc., Central and South West
Services, Inc., CSW Communications, Inc., EnerShop Inc. and SEEBOARD plc.
                  By order dated July 19, 1985, HCAR No. 23717; 70-7113 (the
"Original Order"), the Commission authorized CSW to organize CSW Credit for the
purposes of factoring the accounts receivable of the CSW Operating Companies
through December 31, 1986. Pursuant to the Original Order, CSW Credit was
authorized to borrow up to $320 million and CSW was authorized to make equity
investments in CSW Credit up to $80 million.
                  By order dated July 31, 1986, HCAR No. 24157; 70-7218
(the "1986 Order"), the Commission authorized the expansion of


<PAGE>



the scope of CSW Credit's permissible activities to include the factoring of
receivables of non-associate utilities. To finance these transactions, the
Commission authorized CSW Credit to borrow up to an additional $160 million and
permitted CSW to make additional equity investments in CSW Credit of up to $40
million to maintain CSW Credit's equity-to-debt capitalization ratio. The 1986
Order also provided that CSW Credit would limit its acquisition of utility
receivables from non-associate utilities so that the average amount of such
receivables for the preceding 12-month period outstanding as of the end of any
calendar month would be less than the average amount of receivables acquired
from associated companies outstanding as of the end of each calendar month
during the preceding 12-month period (the "50% Restriction").
                  By order dated February 8, 1988, HCAR No. 24575; 70-7218,
70-7113 (the "1988 Order"), the provisions of the Original Order and the 1986
Order were extended through December 31, 1989, with specified authorized levels
of borrowings and related equity investments. Specifically, the Commission
authorized CSW Credit to factor accounts receivable of non-associate gas or
electric utility companies and borrow up to $320 million and $304 million to
finance the factoring of associate and non-associate receivables, respectively.
CSW was authorized to make equity investments in CSW Credit of up to an
aggregate of $80 million and $76 million in connection with the factoring of
associate and non-associate receivables, respectively.

Credit's equity-to-debt capitalization from approximately 20% to not less than

through December 31, 1990.
                  By order dated August 30, 1990, HCAR No. 25138; 70-7218 &
70-7113 (the "1990 Order"), the Commission authorized a further reduction in the
equity-to-debt capitalization to not less than 5%.
                  By order dated December 21, 1990, HCAR No. 25228; 70-- 7218 &

existing authority through December 31, 1991.

70-7113 (the "1991 Order"), the Commission authorized CSW Credit to borrow up to
an additional $200 million to finance the factoring of associate receivables. In
all other respects, the previously granted authority was extended through
December 31, 1992.
                  By order dated December 9, 1992, HCAR No. 25698; 70-- 7218 &
70-7113 (the "1992 Order"), the Commission extended CSW Credit's existing
authority through December 31, 1993.
                  By order dated December 21, 1993, HCAR No. 25959; 70-- 7218 &

* Actual Amount

                  No transactional fees or commissions will be paid to any
associate or affiliate company of CSW in connection with the proposed
activities.

Item 3.           Applicable Statutory Provisions.
                  Sections 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12 and Rule 45 under the Act are or
may be applicable with respect to the proposed activities.
                  To the extent that the proposed transactions are considered by
the Commission to require authorization, approval or exemption under any section
of the Act or provision of the rules or regulations other than those
specifically referred to herein, request for such authorization, approval or
exemption is hereby made.
                  Rule 54
                  No proceeds from the proposed transactions will be used by CSW
or any subsidiary thereof for the direct or indirect acquisition of an interest
in an exempt wholesale generator, as defined in Section 32 of the Act ("EWG"),
or a foreign utility company, as defined in Section 33 of the Act ("FUCO"). Rule
54 promulgated under the Act states that in determining whether to approve the
issue or sale of a security by a registered holding company for purposes other
than the acquisition of an EWG or a FUCO, or other transactions by such
registered holding company or its subsidiaries other than with respect to EWGs
or FUCOs, the Commission shall not consider the effect of the capitalization or
earnings of any subsidiary which is an EWG or a FUCO upon the registered holding
company system if Rule 53(a), (b) and (c) are satisfied. As set forth below, all
applicable conditions set forth in Rule 53(a) are, and, assuming the
consummation of the transactions proposed herein, will be, satisfied and none of
the conditions set forth in Rule 53(b) exist or will exist as a result of the
transactions proposed herein.

                                                       5

<PAGE>



                  CSW's "aggregate investment" (as defined under Rule 53(a) of
the Act) in EWGs and FUCOs as of September 30, 1996 was approximately $864
million, or about 46% of CSW's "consolidated retained earnings" as of June 30,
1996. CSW thus satisfies Rule 53(a)(1). CSW will maintain and make available the
books and records required by Rule 53(a)(2). No more than 2% of the employees of
CSW's operating subsidiaries will, at any one time, directly or indirectly,
render services to an EWG or FUCO in which CSW directly or indirectly owns an
interest, satisfying Rule 53(a)(3). And lastly, CSW will submit a copy of Item 9
and Exhibits G and H of CSW's Form U5S to each of the public service commissions
having jurisdiction over the retail rates of CSW's operating utility
subsidiaries, satisfying Rule 53(a)(4).
         None of the conditions described in Rule 53(b) exist with
respect to CSW or any of its subsidiaries, thereby satisfying
such rule and making Rule 53(c) inapplicable.
Item 4.           Regulatory Approval.
                  No approvals from any other governmental agency are necessary
for the proposed activities described herein.
Item 5.           Procedure.
                  The Commission issued and published on November 8, 1996, the
requisite notice under Rule 23 with respect to the filing of this
Application-Declaration. Such notice specified December 2, 1996 as the date
after which an order granting and permitting this Application-Declaration to
become effective may be entered by the Commission. CSW and Credit request that
the Commission enter not later than December 24, 1996, an appropriate

                                                       6

<PAGE>



order granting and permitting this Application-Declaration to
become effective.
                  No recommended decision by a hearing officer or other
responsible officer of the Commission is necessary or required in this matter.
The Division of Investment Management of the Commission may assist in the
preparation of the Commission's decision in this matter. There should be no
thirty day waiting period between the issuance and the effective date of any
order issued by the Commission in this matter, and it is respectfully requested
that any such order be made effective immediately upon the entry thereof. Item
6. Exhibits and Financial Statements.
                  Exhibit              1 - Preliminary Opinion of Milbank,
                                       Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, counsel to the
                                       Company.

                                       September 30, 1996.

Item 7.           Information as to Environmental Effects.

                  The proposed transactions do not constitute a major federal
action having a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.

                           Re:      Central and South West Corporation, et al.
                                    Amendment No. 34 (Post-Effective) to
                                    Form U-1 Application-Declaration

Dear Sirs:

                  We refer to Amendment No. 34 (Post-Effective) to the Form U-1
Application-Declaration (the "Application") under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act of 1935, as amended (the "1935 Act"), filed by Central and South
West Corporation ("CSW"), a Delaware corporation and a registered holding
company, and CSW Credit, Inc. ("Credit" and, collectively with CSW, the
"Companies"), a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSW. The
Application relates to the Companies' request to extend Credit's authority under
the 1935 Act to factor the accounts receivables of associate and non-associate
companies and authority of CSW and Credit to finance Credit's factoring business
(the "Factoring and Financing Transactions"), as more fully described in the
Application. We have acted as special counsel for the Companies in connection
with the filing of the Application.

                  We have examined originals, or copies certified to our
satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Companies, certificates of public
officials, certificates of officers and representatives of the Companies and
other documents as we have deemed it necessary to require as a basis for the
opinions hereinafter expressed. In such examination we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted
to us as copies. As to various questions of fact material to such opinions we
have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon
certificates by officers of the Companies and other appropriate persons and
statements contained in the Application.



<PAGE>


                  Based upon the foregoing, and having regard to legal
considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that, in the event
the proposed Factoring and Financing Transactions are consummated in accordance
with the Application, as it may be amended, and subject to the assumptions and
conditions set forth below:

                  1. All state laws applicable to the proposed Factoring and
         Financing Transactions as described in the Application will have been
         complied with.

                  2. The consummation of the proposed Factoring and Financing
         Transactions as described in the Application will not violate the legal
         rights of the lawful holders of any securities issued by the Companies
         or any associate company of the Companies.

                  The opinions expressed above in respect of the proposed
Factoring and Financing Transactions as described in the Application are subject
