Item 4. - Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

(a)  On April 20, 1998, the Registrant notified KPMG Peat Marwick LLP (Dallas,
     Texas office) of its decision to retain another independent public
     accountant for the examination of its financial statements for fiscal year
     ended December 31, 1998.

(b)  During the last two most recent fiscal years and interim period through
     April 22, 1998, there were no disagreements with KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on
     matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
     disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreement(s), if not
     resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, would have caused
     them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in
     connection with their report. In addition, during such period, there have
     been no "reportable events" with KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as described in
     Items 304(a) (i) (v) of Regulation S-K.

(c)  KPMG Peat Marwick LLP's report on the financial statements of the
     Registrant for the last two most fiscal years contained unqualified
     opinions.

(d)  A copy of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP's letter directed to the Securities and 
     Exchange Commission is attached as an exhibit to this report on Form 8-K.

(e)  The change in the independent public accountants was recommended by the 
     Board of Directors.

(f)  On April 20, 1998, the Registrant notified Arthur Andersen LLP (Dallas,
     Texas office) of its intention to retain such firm as independent public
     accountants for the examination of its financial statements for the fiscal
     year ending December 31, 1998.

(g)  During the last two most recent calendar years and through the date of this
     report, Registrant did not consult Arthur Andersen LLP on either the
     application of accounting principles to a completed or proposed specific
     transaction, or on the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
     Registrant's financial statements.

(h)  A copy of Arthur Andersen LLP's letter directed to the Securities and 
     Exchange Commission is attached as an exhibit to this report on Form 8-K.
