INDEPENDENT  AUDITORS'  REPORT


To  the  Trustees  and  Participants  of  the
    Savings  and  Investment  Plan  for  Employees  of  Weingarten  Realty:

We  have  audited, in total, the accompanying statements of net assets available
for  benefits  of  the  Savings  and Investment Plan for Employees of Weingarten
Realty (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility  is  to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 total,  in all
material  respects,  the  net  assets  available  for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for  the  years  then  ended  in  conformity  with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our  audits  were  conducted  for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets
held  for  investment  purposes as of December 31, 1998, and (2) transactions in
excess  of  five  percent of the current value of plan assets for the year ended
December  31, 1998, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not  a  required  part  of  the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information  required  by  the  Department  of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting  and  Disclosure  under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The  supplemental information by fund in the statements of changes in net
assets  available  for  benefits  is  presented  for  the  purpose of additional
analysis  rather than to present changes in net assets available for benefits of
the  individual  funds.  The supplemental schedules and supplemental information
are  the  responsibility  of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental schedules
and  supplemental  information  by  fund  have  been  subjected  to the auditing
procedures  applied  in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion,  are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation
to  the  basic  financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.

                         SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN FOR
                         EMPLOYEES OF WEINGARTEN REALTY
                         ------------------------------


                          Notes to Financial Statements



1.     SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

The  general  purpose  of  the  Savings  and  Investment  Plan  for Employees of
Weingarten  Realty  (the  "Plan")  is  to  provide  retirement and other related
benefits  for  employees  of  Weingarten Realty Investors ("WRI") and its wholly
owned  subsidiary,  Weingarten  Realty Management Company ("WRMC"), referred to,
collectively,  as  the  "Company".

Basis  of Accounting - The financial records of the Plan and the account records
- --------------------
of  participants  of  the  Plan  are  generally  maintained on the cash basis of
accounting.  The  accompanying financial statements of the Plan are presented on
the accrual basis of accounting; accordingly, memorandum entries are made to the
accounting  records  to  reflect  the  accrual for dividend and interest income,
contributions by the Company and participants and interest on loan payments due.
Withdrawals  of  benefits  by  participants  are  recorded  when  paid.

Investments  -  Investments  are  carried at their quoted market value.  Average
- -----------
cost  is  used  to  determine  the  cost  of  investments  sold  or  redeemed.

Valuation  of  Loans to Participants - The loans to participants are valued
- ------------------------------------
at  cost  plus  accrued  interest  which  approximates  fair  value.

Use  of  Estimates - The preparation of financial statements requires management
- ------------------
to  make  use  of  estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the
financial  statements  as  well  as  certain  disclosures.  Actual results could
differ  from  those  estimates.

2.     SUMMARY  DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  PLAN

The  Plan  is  a  defined  contribution  plan  subject  to the provisions of the
Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974 ("ERISA"), as amended, and
regulations  promulgated thereunder.  The following is a summary of the Plan, as
restated  on  July 1, 1997.  Plan participants should refer to the Plan document
for  more  complete  information.

Eligibility  -  All  employees  are  eligible  to  participate in the Plan after
- -----------
completing  one  hour  of  eligible  service  and  attaining  21  years  of age.

Participant  Contributions  -  Participants  may  contribute  1% to 12% of their
- --------------------------
annual  paid  compensation (as defined in the Plan document) as salary reduction
contributions.  Such  contributions  are  generally made through regular payroll
withholdings  and  reduce  the  amount of the participant's compensation that is
subject  to  federal  income  tax.

Employer  Contributions - The Company may make monthly matching contributions to
- -----------------------
the  Plan.  The  maximum  amount  of  each  participant's  salary  reduction
contribution  that  is  subject  to matching is equal to 6% of the participant's
qualified  compensation.  The  employer's  matching  contribution  is  generally
allocated  to  the  individual  participant's accounts based on the ratio of the
participant's  salary  reduction  contributions  to  the  total salary reduction
contributions  made  by  all  participants  during  the  period.  The employer's
matching  contribution  is  directed  to  the  different  funds (described under
"Investment  Options")  using  the  same  ratio  as the participants' individual
contributions.  The  Company  may  also  make  discretionary  contributions.
Discretionary contributions are allocated to the individual participant based on
the  ratio  of  the  participant's  compensation  to  the  compensation  of  all
participants  during  the  year.  No discretionary contributions are invested in
Weingarten Realty Common Stock.  No discretionary contributions were made during
the  years  ended  1998  and  1997.

<PAGE>

Vesting  - Participants are fully vested for all contributions made by them. For
employer  contributions  and earnings of the Plan, participants vest as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

                                           Vested
Years of Vesting Service                 Percentage
- ---------------------------------------  ----------

Less than 2 years                                 0
At least 2 years, but less than 3 years          20
At least 3 years, but less than 4 years          40
At least 4 years, but less than 5 years          60
At least 5 years, but less than 6 years          80
6 years or more                                 100

</TABLE>


Upon  death, disability or reaching 65 years of age, a participant becomes fully
vested  for  all  contributions  and  earnings  made  on  his  behalf.

Administration  - Plan Administrators, appointed by the Company, are responsible
- --------------
for  the  administrative  operations  of the Plan and maintaining the accounting
records  of  the  Plan  and  the  participants.

Withdrawals  -  Upon  death,  disability  or  termination  from  the  Company, a
- -----------
participant  or  the  beneficiary  may  withdraw  all  the  participant's vested
interest  in  the  Plan.  A  participant  may  withdraw  all or a portion of his
nondeductible voluntary contributions at the end of the plan year or, in case of
hardship,  at  times  otherwise  allowed  by  the  Plan  Administrator.

Participants  may  withdraw  all of their vested account balances upon attaining
the  age  of  59  1/2.  Participants  who  terminate  employment  and  receive
distributions  of their vested account balances forfeit the nonvested portion of
their  accounts.  Forfeitures  during  the  year  are  used to reduce the amount
required  by  the  employers'  matching  contributions.

Participant  Loans - Eligible participants may borrow from their fund accounts a
- ------------------
minimum  of  $1,000  up  to  a  maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their
vested  account  balances.  Loan  transactions are treated as a transfer between
the  investment  funds  and  the loan fund.  Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years,
however loans may be made up to 15 years if related to the purchase of a primary
residence.  The  loans  are  secured by the balance in the participant's account
and bear interest equal to the prime rate on the first day of the month that the
loan  is made, plus 1%.  Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly
payroll  deductions.

Investment  Options - A description of the available investment options follows:
- -------------------

     (a)  Stable  Asset  Fund  - a  fund  invested  in the Firstar Institutional
          Investors Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund, which invests in assets

respectively,  who  had  their  contributions  allocated  as  follows:

</TABLE>


Amendment  or Termination of the Plan - The Plan may be amended or terminated at
- -------------------------------------
any  time  by  the  Company.  No amendment may deprive any participant (or their
beneficiary)  of any vested right the participant may have accrued.  If the Plan
is  terminated,  the  accounts of all participants become nonforfeitable and the
Plan's  assets  or  cash  will  be  distributed to the participants so affected.

3.     TAX  STATUS

The  Plan  received  a favorable ruling dated April 15, 1997 indicating that the
Plan  was  a  qualified  plan  under  Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal
Revenue  Code  and, therefore, exempt from income taxes.  The Plan Administrator
and  outside  counsel  believe  that  the  Plan, as amended, qualifies under the
meanings  of  the  above-mentioned  sections  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code;
accordingly,  no  provision  for  federal  income  taxes  is  provided  in  the
accompanying  financial  statements.
