NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the six-month period ended November 30,
1993, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended May 31, 1994.  For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 1993.

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas
Industries, Inc. (the Company) and all subsidiaries.  The minority interest
represents the 19.1% separate public ownership of Chaparral Steel Company
(Chaparral).

      Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost.  Provisions for
depreciation are computed generally using the straight-line method.  Provisions
for depletion of mineral deposits are computed on the basis of the estimated
quantity of recoverable raw materials.  Amortization of commissioning costs
associated with Chaparral's large beam  mill is computed on a straight-line
basis over a five-year period.  Investment tax credit is accounted for using the
flow-through method.

      For cash flow purposes, temporary investments, which have maturities of
less than 90 days when purchased, are considered cash equivalents.  Temporary
investments of $3.7 million at November 30, 1993 and $6.3 million at May 31,
1993 which are included in cash on the balance sheets, exceed 90 day maturity.

      Earnings per share are computed by deducting preferred dividends from net
income and adjusting for amortization of additional goodwill in connection with
the contingent payment for the acquisition of Chaparral, then dividing this
amount by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period, including common stock equivalents.

      Goodwill on the balance sheet is presented net of accumulated amortization
of $8,735,000 at November 30, 1993 and $7,576,000 at May 31, 1993.

      The Company has no postretirement health benefits and, therefore, realizes
no effect from recent accounting requirements under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other than Pensions" (SFAS 106).

WORKING CAPITAL

      Working capital totaled $150.9 million at November 30, 1993, compared to
$159.4 million at May 31, 1993.

      Notes and accounts receivable of $80.2 million at November, compared with
$76.7 million at May, are presented net of allowances for doubtful receivables
of $4.3 million at November and $4.2 million at May.

Inventories are as follows

WORKING CAPITAL-Continued

      Inventories are stated at cost (not in excess of market) generally using
the last-in, first-out method (LIFO).  If the average cost method (which
approximates current replacement cost) had been used, inventory values would
have been higher by $8.9 million at November and $6.6 million at May.

COMMISSIONING COSTS

      Chaparral began the commissioning of the large beam mill in February 1991.
Certain costs of the facility, consistent with past accounting practice, were
being capitalized until the facility was substantially complete and ready for
its intended use in the February 1992 quarter.  A total of $15.1 million in
costs have been capitalized.  During the six months ended November 30, 1993,
$1.5 million was expensed based on a five-year straight-line amortization.
Total accumulated amortization is $5.5 million.

LONG-TERM DEBT

      Annual maturities of long-term debt for each of the five succeeding years
are $24.5, $39.4, $34.2, $34.0, and $20.5 million.  Long-term debt is comprised
of the following:

LONG-TERM DEBT-Continued

      The loan agreements contain covenants which provide for minimum cash flows
and working capital, restrictions on purchases of treasury stock, payment of
dividends on common stock, limitations on incurring certain indebtedness and
making certain investments.  Under the most restrictive of these agreements, the
aggregate amount of annual cash dividends on common stock is limited based on
the ratio, excluding Chaparral, of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization plus dividends from Chaparral to fixed charges.  Chaparral loan
agreements also restrict dividends and advances to its shareholders, including
the Parent Company, to $31.9 million as of November 30, 1993.  The Company and
Chaparral are in compliance with all loan covenant restrictions.

      Property, plant and equipment, principally Chaparral's, carried at a net
amount of approximately $259.4 million at November 30, 1993 is mortgaged as
collateral for $46.4 million of secured debt.  The Company's Chaparral stock is
pledged as security for the $71 million Senior note and $25 million bank line of
credit.

      The 9% convertible subordinated debentures are subject to anti-dilution
provisions and are convertible using a value of $32.74 per share.  The
debentures are redeemable by the Company at par.

      The amount of interest paid for the six months presented was $18.5 million
in 1993 and $18.0 million in 1992.

      There are authorized 100,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, no par
value, of which 20,000 shares are designated $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock
(Voting), redeemable at $105 per share and entitled to $100 per share upon
dissolution.  There were 5,976 shares of $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock
outstanding at November 1993 and May 1993.

      An additional 50,000 shares are designated Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, redeemable under certain conditions at a redemption price,
subject to adjustment, equal to 200 times the aggregate amount to be distributed
per share to holders of Common Stock but not less than $100.  There are
outstanding rights, issued to common stockholders under the Company's
Shareholders Protection Plan, to purchase 48,484 shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Shares, none of which were outstanding.  Under certain
conditions, each right may be exercised to purchase one two-hundredth of a share
for $100.  The rights, which are non-voting, expire in 1996 and may be redeemed
by the Company at a price of five cents per right at any time.

 STOCK OPTION PLANS

      The Company's stock option plans provide that non-qualified and incentive
stock options to purchase Common Stock may be granted to officers and key
employees at market prices at date of grant.  Generally, options become
exercisable in installments beginning one or two years after date of grant, and
expire six or ten years later depending on the initial date of grant.  A summary
of option transactions for the six months ended November 30, 1993, follows:

INCOME TAXES

      Federal income taxes for the interim periods ended November 30, 1993 and
1992, have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis
of an estimated annual rate.  Without consideration of the additional tax
provision caused by the change in the statutory federal tax rate, the estimated
annualized tax rate is 32.2% for 1993 compared with 35.0% for 1992.  The primary
reason that these respective tax rates differ from the 35% and 34% statutory
corporate rates is due to goodwill expense which is not tax deductible,
percentage depletion which is tax deductible and the benefit of utilization of
investment tax credit carryforward amounts. The Company made income tax payments
of $5,317,000 in 1993 and $328,000 in 1992.

      Effective June 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).  This
standard, which changes the classification of current versus non-current
deferred tax liabilities, did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or operating results.  The Company recognized an additional
income tax provision of $1,949,000 in the interim period ended November 30, 1993
due to federal tax legislation enacted on August 10, 1993 which raised the
corporate tax rate to 35% on all liabilities and benefits previously recorded.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

      The Company and subsidiaries are defendants in lawsuits which arose in the
normal course of business.  In management's judgement (based on the opinion of
counsel) the ultimate liability, if any, from such legal proceedings will not
have a material effect on the consolidated financial position.

                      Independent Accountants' Review Report



Board of Directors
Texas Industries, Inc.


We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Texas
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of November 30, 1993, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month
periods ended November 30, 1993 and 1992, and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended November 30, 1993 and
1992.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be
performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Texas Industries, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of May 31, 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended [not
present herein] and in our report dated July 14, 1993, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of May 31, 1993, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                  OF OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                                   (Unaudited)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Comparison of operations and financial condition for the three months and
six months ended November 30, 1993 to the three months and six months ended
November 30, 1992.

      Current quarter net sales of $173.1 million increased $19.7 million or
12.8%.  Quarter steel shipments of 350,000 tons were down 1.4% from last year.
However, $333 per ton average pricing during the quarter was up 12% from a year
ago and yielded $117.2 million total steel sales.  Average pricing continues to
benefit from the new pricing structure implemented last spring, as well as
product rationalization and the increasing cost of scrap which influences prices
upward.  Cement/concrete sales of $55.9 million during the quarter represents a
19.3% increase from a year ago.  Increased demand in our markets have
strengthened shipments by 15-20% over last year.  Cement shipments of 479,000
tons were 20% higher than last year's quarter.  Some of the added cement tons in
the quarter were purchased from competitors in order to meet customer demand, as
our plants were shipping at capacity.  Purchased cement yields no profits
currently but permits continued service to long-term customers.

      Cost of products sold increased 9.0% in the quarter to $147.5 million.
This $12.2 million increase is the result of steel costs increasing by $4.7
million due to a 25% increase in raw scrap costs; cement/concrete costs
increased $7.5 million from greater shipments.  The increase in steel scrap
costs were partially offset by reduced manufacturing costs resulting from last
summer's restructuring efforts.  Scrap cost increases have gained momentum in
the last three months as domestic demand has increased.  Cement/concrete costs,
up 20.2%, were influenced upward not only by higher shipments but also purchased
cement tons and major maintenance in the two cement plants.  Ready-mix and
aggregate costs of sales per unit improved due largely to volume considerations.

      Selling, general and administrative costs, at $10.7 million in the
quarter are up slightly.  The six month total of $24.2 million reflects an
increase of $3.7 million.  Some $3.4 million of this increase occurred in
Chaparral, primarily due to severance and profit sharing cost differences in the
two periods.

      Other income of $3.2 million in the six months reflects a $1.2 million
increase over last year.  Normal disposal of fixed assets and other items
account for the difference.

      The provision for income tax expense for the six months includes $1.9
million non-cash adjustment to the liability for deferred federal income tax
incurred in prior years.  This amount represents the 1% increase in the
statutory corporate income tax rate signed into law in August 1993.  Most U.S.
companies are required to effect this adjustment since last year's FASB
implementation of "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).

CASH FLOWS

      Cash provided by operations during the six months was $26.3 million.
That total compares lower than the 1992 period primarily due to $7.8 million
build in steel receivables and $6.1 increase in steel inventory and prepaids
with offsets due to improved income and deferred taxes.  Cement/concrete
receivables declined by $3.9 million while inventories and prepaids reduced by
$4.1 million.  The build in steel receivables results from higher unit pricing
and increased days' sales during the six months while the sales pattern in
cement/concrete seasonally declines.  Chaparral's prepaid expenses increased
$5.5 million in July for the costs of summer shut-down.  As in the past years,
these costs are being amortized through the remainder of fiscal 1994.

      Investing activities used $7.7 million cash due primarily to capital
expenditures.  Capital outlay was $3.4 million for steel and $7.4 million for
cement/concrete.

      Financing activities were impacted by TXI's $96 million refinancing with
a group of major banks on September 24, 1993.  Proceeds of $50 million were
borrowed and, along with cement/concrete cash balances, used to retire $50
million of 12 7/8% subordinated debentures and $17 million in senior notes.

                                       11

FINANCIAL CONDITION

      The Company has a $25 million short-term credit facility as well as an
additional $21 million term loan with banks as a result of the refinancing.  The
additional term loan will be used to repay the $21 million, 9 3/4% senior notes
in the third quarter.  The term loan, currently at 200 basis points over LIBOR
rates, is payable over the next 6 years, and is secured.  This refinancing will
reduce interest expense and result in an extended debt retirement schedule.

      Chaparral has short-term credit facilities totaling $20 million which
will expire January 31, 1994, if not renewed.  Management believes that it will
be able to renew these or negotiate similar credit facilities, if deemed
appropriate.

      The Company expects that with these or similar credit facilities and
anticipated cash from operations, funds will be adequate to provide for capital
expenditures, scheduled debt payments and other known working capital needs.
