Item  2.     Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of Financial Condition and
             Results  of  Operations

     The  following  discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
unaudited  consolidated  financial statements and related notes thereto included
in  this  quarterly  report and in the audited consolidated Financial Statements
and  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations  ("MD&A")  contained  in  the  Company's  10-KSB  for  the year ended
September  30,  1998.  Certain  statements  in  the  following  MD&A  are
forward-looking  statements.  Words  such  as  "expects",  "anticipates",
"estimates",  and  similar  expressions are intended to identify forward looking
statements.  Such  statements  are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause  actual results to differ materially from those projected.  Such risks and
uncertainties  are  set  forth  below  and under "Special Note Regarding Forward
Looking  Information".

GENERAL

     The  Company  was formed in December 1994 to acquire all of the outstanding
capital  stock  of  Trumps, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Trumps") formed in 1982.
Since  1983,  Trumps  has  operated  Rick's  Cabaret,  a premier adult nightclub
offering topless entertainment in Houston, Texas.  Rick's Cabaret International,
Inc.  ("Rick  s"  or  the  "Company") currently owns and operates premiere adult
nightclubs  offering adult entertainment and restaurant and bar operations.  The
Company  has  two  adult  nightclubs in operation in Houston, Texas as well as a
non-sexually  oriented discotheque, Tantra.  Additionally, the Company has adult
nightclubs  in  operation  in  Austin,  Texas  and  Minneapolis, Minnesota.  The
Company owns the original location of Rick's Cabaret on Bering Drive in Houston,
Texas,  the  location  of Tantra discotheque, in Houston, Texas, the location in
north  Houston,  Texas  located  near  George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the
location in Austin, Texas, and the location in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Revenues
are derived from the sale of liquor, beer, wine and food, as well as from dancer
performances,  cover  charges  and  other  income.

     In  March,  1999,  the Company sold its New Orleans club for $2,200,000, of
which  $1,057,327  was  in cash with the balance in secured promissory notes and
forgiveness of debt.  At the same time, the Company reduced its payroll costs by
terminating  two  executive employment agreements.  The Company plans to utilize
these  funds  and  the  expected  payroll savings to open a club in San Antonio,
Texas  and  to  operate  an  e-commerce  adult  internet  website.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS  FOR  THE  THREE  AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AS
COMPARED  TO  THE  THREE  AND  SIX  MONTHS  ENDED  MARCH  31,  1998

     For  the  quarter  ended March 31, 1999, the Company had consolidated total
revenues of $3,096,483 compared to consolidated total revenues of $2,007,962 for
the  fiscal  quarter  ended  March  31, 1998, or an increase of $1,088,521.  The
increase  in  total  revenues  was  due  to  increased  number  of the Company's
locations.


<PAGE>
     The  cost  of goods sold for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was 13.01% of
total  revenues  compared  to  15.51% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  The
decrease  was  due  primarily to the continuing efforts of management to achieve
reductions  in  cost  of  goods sold through improved inventory management.  The
Company  continues  a  program to improve margins from liquor and food sales and
food  service  efficiency.

     Payroll  and  related  costs  for  the  quarter  ended  March 31, 1999 were
$965,464  compared  to
$571,598 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  The increase was a reflection of
the  additional  personnel experienced by the company as it adds more locations.
Management  currently believes that its labor and management staff levels are of
appropriate  levels.

     Other  selling,  general  and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
March  31,  1999  were  $1,536,004  compared to $1,213,464 for the quarter ended
March  31,  1998.  The  increase  was  due  to increased number of the Company's
locations  and  costs  associated  with  the  sale  of the Louisiana subsidiary.

Interest  expense  for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $167,182 compared to
$116,425 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  The increase was attributable to
interest expenses arising from the acquisitions of additional Company owned real
estates.

     Net  income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $409,753 compared to a
loss  of $200,236 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  The increase was due to
positive  income  from operations, gain on sale of the Company's subsidiary, and
gain  on  fire damage.  Management currently believes that the Company is in the
position  to  be  profitable  in  fiscal  1999.

     For the six months ended March 31, 1999, the Company had consolidated total
revenues of $6,414,452 compared to consolidated total revenues of $3,676,408 for
the  fiscal  six  months ended March 31, 1998, or an increase of $2,738,044. The
increase  in  revenues  was  due to increased number of the Company's locations.

     The  cost  of goods sold for the six months ended March 31, 1999 was 13.89%
of  total  revenues  compared to 14.27% for the six months ended March 31, 1998.
The  decrease  was  due  primarily  to  the  continuing efforts of management to
achieve  reductions in cost of goods sold through improved inventory management.
The  Company  continues  a program to improve margins from liquor and food sales
and  food  service  efficiency.

     Payroll  and  related  costs  for  the six months ended March 31, 1999 were
$1,970,589  compared  to $1,020,242 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. The
increase was a reflection of the additional personnel experienced by the company
as  it  adds  more  locations.  Management currently believes that its labor and
management  staff  levels  are  of  appropriate  levels.

     Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
March  31,  1999 were $2,935,364 compared to $2,140,354 for the six months ended
March  31,  1998.  The  increase  was  due  to increased number of the Company's
locations.

     Interest  expense  for  the  six  months  ended March 31, 1999 was $310,426
compared  to $160,582 for the six months ended March 31, 1998.  The increase was
attributable  to  interest  expenses arising from the acquisitions of additional
Company  owned  real  estate.

     Net income for the six months ended March 31, 1999 was $692,827 compared to
a loss of $164,683 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was due
to  positive  income  from operations, gain on sale of the Company's subsidiary,
and  gain  on fire damage.  Management currently believes that the Company is in
the  position  to  be  profitable  in  fiscal  1999.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

     At  March  31, 1999, the Company had working capital of $1,118,681 compared
to negative working capital of $ 887,833 at September 30, 1998.  The increase in
working  capital was due to the proceeds received from the sale of the Company's
subsidiary.


<PAGE>
     Net  cash  used  by  operating activities in the six months ended March 31,
1999  was  $536,224 compared to net cash provided of $324,651 for the six months
ended March 31, 1998.  The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was
due  to  an  increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts payable.

Depreciation  and  Amortization  for  the  six  months ended March 31, 1999 were
$236,013  compared  to  $164,184  for  the  six  months  ended  March  31, 1998.

     In  the  opinion  of management, working capital is not a true indicator of
the  financial  status.  Typically,  the  Company carries current liabilities in
excess  of  current assets because the business receives substantially immediate
payment for sales, with nominal receivables, while inventories and other current
liabilities  normally  carry  longer payment terms.  Vendors and purveyors often
remain  flexible  with payment terms providing the Company with opportunities to
adjust  to  short  term  business down turns.  The Company considers the primary
indicators  of  financial  status  to  be  the  long term trend and mix of sales
revenues,  overall  cash flow and profitability from operations and the level of
long  term  debt.

SEASONALITY

     The  Company is significantly affected by seasonal factors.  Typically, the
Company  has  experienced reduced revenues from April through September with the
strongest  operating  results  occurring  during  October  through  March.

SPECIAL  NOTE  REGARDING  FORWARD  LOOKING  INFORMATION


<PAGE>
     The  Company  is  including  the  following  cautionary  statement  in this
Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10 QSB to make applicable and take advantage of the
safe  harbor  provision  of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
for  any  forward  looking  statements  made  by,  or  on behalf of the Company.
Forward  looking  statements  include  statements  concerning plans, objectives,
goals,  strategies,  future events or performance and underlying assumptions and
other  statements  which are other than statements of historical facts.  Certain
statements  contained  herein  are  forward looking statements and, accordingly,
involve  risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or outcomes to
differ  materially  from those expressed in the forward looking statements.  The
Company's  expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and
are  believed  by  the  Company  to  have  a reasonable basis, including without
limitations,  management's  examination  of  historical  operating  trends, data
contained  in the Company's records and other data available from third parties,
but  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  management's  expectations, beliefs or
projections  will  result,  or  be achieved, or be accomplished.  In addition to
other  factors  and  matters  discussed  elsewhere  herein,  the  following  are
important factors that, in the view of the Company, could cause material adverse
affects  on  the  Company's  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.
Important  factors  that  could  cause  actual results to differ materially from
those  indicated  include  risks  and  uncertainties  relating to the impact and
implementation  of  the  sexually  oriented  business  ordinance  in the City of
Houston,  and  the  availability  of  acceptable  financing  to  fund  corporate
expansion  efforts.

Item  1.     Legal  Proceedings

     On  April 20, 1999 the Company was served as a defendant in litigation that
was  filed  on February 23, 1999. The lawsuit is styled John M. Skora and Robert
Martin  v.  Trumps,  Inc., Rick=s Cabaret International, Inc., RCI Entertainment
(Texas), Inc., and Robert L. Watters, Cause No. 1999-09394, in the 11th Judicial
District  Court  of  Harris  County,  Texas.  The  plaintiffs  claim  that  they
purchased a dance from one of the dancers at the Company=s club and paid for the
dance  by  the  use of their credit card.  The plaintiffs claim that the Company
charges  $25 for a dance when using a credit card and $20 for a dance when using
cash.  Therefore,  the  plaintiffs  assert  that  the Company violated the Texas
Finance  Code  by  imposing a surcharge for credit card use.  The plaintiffs are
seeking  reimbursement  for all alleged surcharges, plus statutory penalties and
interest  as allowed by law, attorney=s fees and all other damages, in law or in
equity,  which  plaintiffs  and  other  class  members  similarly  situated  are
entitled.  The  Company  intends  to  file  an  answer  denying  all allegations
contained  in  the  complaint  and  intends  to vigorously defend itself in this
matter.
