         This Schedule 13D is filed by Donald R. Horton (the "Reporting Person")
to report  the  acquisition  of shares of Common  Stock (the  "Shares")  of D.R.
Horton,  Inc. (the "Issuer") as a result of distributions of Shares from certain
trusts,  and the  subsequent  disposition of other Shares owned by the Reporting
Person.  The  Reporting  Person is Chairman of the Board of  Directors,  and was
formerly the  President,  of the Issuer.  The Reporting  Person  previously  has
reported his beneficial ownership of the Shares on Schedule 13G.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

         (a)      Name of Issuer:  D.R. Horton, Inc.

         (b)      Title of Class of Securities:  Common Stock

         (c)      Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:

                  1901 Ascension Blvd., Suite 100
                  Arlington, Texas  76006

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

         (a)      Name of Person Filing:  Donald R. Horton

         (b)      Address of Principal Business Office:

                  1901 Ascension Blvd., Suite 100
                  Arlington, Texas  76006

         (c)      Present principal occupation:

                  Chairman of the Board of Directors
                  D.R. Horton, Inc.
                  1901 Ascension Blvd., Suite 100
                  Arlington, Texas  76006

         (d)      None.

         (e)      In July 1994,  the  Reporting  Person  entered  into a consent
                  order that  settled an  investigation  by the Federal  Reserve
                  Board into whether he failed to comply with certain regulatory
                  disclosure or other  obligations  relating to the  acquisition
                  and financing of his controlling interest in Provident Bancorp
                  of Texas,  Inc., a single bank holding company  (together with
                  its  bank,   "Provident").   The   Reporting   Person   denied
                  non-compliance.  In  the  consent  order,  which  was  entered
                  without  any  findings  fact or law,  he agreed to pay a civil
                  money  penalty of  $100,000  and  contribute  $500,000  deemed
                  restitution  as  part  of a  capital  infusion  of up to  $7.0
                  million in Provident. The capital infusion was made through an
                  approved   voting  trust  in  order  to  address   Provident's
                  financial difficulties, which predated his acquisition. In the
                  consent  order,  the  Reporting  Person  also  agreed  not  to
                  participate,  apart from the capital infusion,  in the affairs
                  of insured depository  institutions or their holding companies
                  without  prior  regulatory   approval,   or  to  violate  laws
                  applicable  thereto.  The Reporting  Person advised the Issuer
                  that his  agreements  in the  consent  order were  intended to
                  avoid the expense and delay  required for further  proceedings
                  and  to  protect  his  investment  by  improving   Provident's
                  regulatory  capital. He also advised the Issuer that in making
                  a personal investment in Provident,  he obtained the financial
                  review  of a  national  accounting  firm and the  advice  of a
                  national law firm as to regulatory matters.  In addition,  the
                  Reporting  Person  informed  the  Issuer  that he  filed  suit
                  against

                  the law firm that represented him in the Provident acquisition
                  in connection with such  representation.  The Reporting Person
                  subsequently  informed the Issuer that the litigation  against
                  the law firm had been satisfactorily  resolved and that he had
                  sold his interest in Provident.

         (f)      Citizenship:  United States of America

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         No  funds  or   consideration   were  involved  in  the  June  3,  1998
acquisition, in that it was a distribution from certain trusts.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         On June 3, 1998, certain trusts for the benefit of the Reporting Person
and his family members were  terminated;  and 2,069,702  Shares were distributed
from the trusts to the Reporting  Person and 953,811 Shares were  distributed to
his spouse.  On June 23, 1998, the 953,811 Shares were reclassified as community
property of the  Reporting  Person and his  spouse.  On January  21,  1999,  the
Reporting Person sold 1,000,000 Shares.

         The Reporting  Person intends to review his investment in the Issuer on
a continuing basis and may, at any time,  consistent with the Reporting Person's
obligations under the federal securities laws, determine to increase or decrease
his ownership of Shares of the Issuer's Common Stock through  purchases or sales
of such Common Stock in the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions.
The  Reporting  Person's  review of his  investment in the Issuer will depend on
various factors, including the Reporting Person's personal financial commitments
and estate planning  considerations and the Issuer's business  prospects,  other
developments concerning the Issuer, general economic conditions, money and stock
market conditions,  and any other facts and circumstances which may become known
to the Reporting Person regarding his investment in the Issuer.

         Other than as  described  above,  the  Reporting  Person has no present
plans or  proposals  which  relate to or would  result  in (i) an  extraordinary
corporate  transaction,   such  as  a  merger,  reorganization  or  liquidation,
involving  the Issuer or any of its  subsidiaries,  (ii) a sale or transfer of a
material  amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its  subsidiaries,  (iii) any
change in the  board of  directors  or  management  of the  Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries, (iv) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the Issuer,  (v) any other material change in the Issuer's business or
corporate  structure,  (vi) changes in the  Issuer's  charter or bylaws or other
actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person,
(vii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national
securities exchange or cease to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of
a  registered  national  securities  association,   (viii)  a  class  of  equity
securities  of the Issuer  becoming  eligible for  termination  of  registration
pursuant to Section 12(b)(4) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 or (ix) any
action similar to any of those described above.  However,  the Reporting Person,
in his capacity as Chairman of the Issuer's Board of Directors, may from time to
time be involved in discussions  which relate to the  transactions  described in
this  Item 4. He  disclaims  any duty to  disclose  such  discussions,  plans or
proposals  of the Issuer or others, except as  required by  applicable  laws and
regulations;  and he retains  his right to modify his plans with  respect to the
transactions  described in this Item 4, to acquire or dispose of  securities  of
the  Issuer and to  formulate  plans and  proposals  which  could  result in the
occurrence of any such events, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
