NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Texas Industries, Inc. (the Company or TXI), directly or through subsidiaries,
is a producer of steel and cement/concrete products for the construction and
manufacturing industries. Chaparral Steel Company (Chaparral) produces beams,
merchant and special bar quality rounds, reinforcing bars and channels,
primarily for markets in North America and, under certain market conditions,
Europe and Asia. Cement/concrete operations supply cement and aggregates, ready-
mix, pipe, block and brick from facilities concentrated primarily in Texas and
Louisiana, with several products marketed throughout the U.S.

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 three-month period ended August 31,
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended May 31, 1997. 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, 1996.

Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation:  The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries. The minority interest
represents the separate public ownership of Chaparral, 15.4% at August 31, 1996
and 16.4% at May 31, 1996.

Property, Plant and Equipment:  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.

Cash Equivalents:  For cash flow purposes, temporary investments which have
maturities of less than 90 days when purchased are considered cash equivalents.

Earnings per Share:  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:  Goodwill, currently being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
40-year period, is net of accumulated amortization of $14.7 million at
August 31, 1996 and $14.2 million at May 31, 1996. Management reviews remaining
goodwill with consideration toward recovery through future operating results
(undiscounted) at the current rate of amortization.

Commissioning Costs:  The Company's policy for new facilities is to capitalize
certain costs until the facility is substantially complete and ready for its
intended use. Chaparral began the commissioning of the large beam mill in
February 1991. The mill was substantially complete and ready for its intended
use in the third quarter of fiscal 1992 with a total of $15.1 million of costs
deferred. The amount of amortization charged to income was $754,000 in the
three-month periods ended August 31, 1996 and 1995, based on a five-year period.
Total accumulated amortization is $13.8 million.

Income Taxes:  Accounting for income taxes uses the liability method of
recognizing and classifying deferred income taxes. The Company joins in filing a
consolidated return with its subsidiaries. Current and deferred tax expense is
allocated among the members of the group based on a stand-alone calculation of
the tax of the individual member.

WORKING CAPITAL

Working capital totaled $217.3 million at August 31, 1996, compared to $219.3
million at May 31, 1996.

Notes and accounts receivable of $116.4 million at August, compared with $113.8
million at May, are presented net of allowances for doubtful receivables of $3.2
million at August and $3.1 million at May.

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 $14.2 million at August and May.

Inventories are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
Annual maturities of long-term debt for each of the five succeeding years are
$13.5, $13.4, $13.2, $10.9 and $8.8 million.

The Company has available a bank-financed $100 million long-term line of credit
of which $8.1 million has been utilized to support letters of credit. Commitment
fees at a current annual rate of .22% are paid on the unused portion of this
line.

Loan agreements contain covenants which provide for minimum working capital,
restrictions on purchases of treasury stock and payment of dividends on common
stock, and 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 $40.1 million as of August 31, 1996. The Company and
Chaparral are in compliance with all loan covenant restrictions.

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 directors, 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

available for future grants. Outstanding options expire on various dates to
July 12, 2006.

INCOME TAXES

Federal income taxes for the interim periods ended August 31, 1996 and 1995,
have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an
estimated annual rate. The estimated annualized tax rate is 33.7% for 1996
compared with 35.9% for 1995. The primary reason that these respective tax rates
differ from the 35% statutory corporate rate is due to goodwill expense which is
not tax deductible, percentage depletion which is tax deductible and the net
state income tax expense. The Company made income tax payments of $1.8 million
in 1996 and $2.0 million in 1995.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations concerning, among other matters, air emissions, furnace dust
disposal and wastewater discharge. The Company believes it is in substantial
compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Notwithstanding
such compliance, if damage to persons or property or contamination of the
environment has been or is caused by the conduct of the Company's business or by
hazardous substances or wastes used in, generated or disposed of by the Company,
the Company may be held liable for such damages and be required to pay the cost
of investigation and remediation of such contamination. The amount of such
liability could be material. Changes in federal or state laws, regulations or
requirements or discovery of unknown conditions could require additional
expenditures by the Company.

The Company and subsidiaries are defendants in lawsuits which arose in the
normal course of business. In management's judgment (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 of the Company.

                    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 August 31, 1996, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month
periods ended August 31, 1996 and 1995. 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, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended [not
presented herein] and in our report dated July 12, 1996, 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, 1996, 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 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of operations and financial condition for the three-month period
ended August 31, 1996 to the three-month period ended August 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net sales of $245.9 million increased 6% over the prior year
period. Steel sales were $149.5 million, up $11.4 million, as a result of a 7%
increase in shipments on slightly higher average selling prices. Structural mill
pricing increased 7% over the prior year quarter with shipments 3% lower. The
continued strength of U.S. nonresidential construction and manufactured housing
activity has sustained demand for structural products. Bar mill shipments
increased 34% over the prior year. Increased volumes for reinforcing bar along
with lower prices for specialty steels and reinforcing bar resulted in 10% lower
overall realized prices for bar products. With demand and prices for bar
products stabilizing, bar product margins should improve due to the anticipated
recovery of the Special Bar Quality market and Chaparral's shift of its product
mix to SBQ products. Cement/concrete sales grew 3% over the prior year period.
Cement average pricing increased 13% with shipments down 90,000 tons. Ready-mix
pricing increased 7% with volumes 11% lower. Aggregate prices and volumes
improved 4%. Unusually wet summer weather impacted construction activity in
Texas and Louisiana. Weather permitting, construction starts and contract awards
continue to result in a balance in supply and demand for building materials.

</TABLE>


Consolidated cost of products sold including depreciation, depletion and
amortization was $192.7 million, an increase of $9.6 million over the prior year
quarter. Steel costs of $127.7 million, increased $7.6 million due primarily to
a 25,000 ton increase in shipments and higher raw material costs. Operating
efficiencies resulted in decreased combined rolling conversion costs in 1996.
Cement/concrete costs were $65.0 million, an increase of $2.0 million due in
part to higher than normal plant maintenance costs.

Operating profit of $41.0 million in 1996 was $2.8 million higher than the prior
year quarter. Steel profits were up 16%, on 7% higher shipments and increased
prices. August quarter steel profits were $5.9 million lower than the May
quarter due in part to the normal scheduled summer shutdown to refurbish the
production facilities. Shutdown expenditures were 23% lower than last year and
will be amortized over the remainder of the fiscal year. Work performed during
the shutdown and that scheduled for later in the year is expected to increase
melting capacity by approximately 100,000 tons. Cement/concrete profits were up
3% over the prior year on increased prices. Volumes declined as wet summer
weather hindered construction activity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses including depreciation and
amortization at $18.5 million increased $2.1 million over the prior year. Steel
SG&A expense increased $1.6 million to $7.4 million primarily due to increased
employee incentive accruals and training costs. Cement/concrete SG&A expense at
$6.3 million was slightly lower than the prior year period. Corporate resources
SG&A increased $.5 million to $4.8 million. The expense was offset by increased
other income from routine asset retirements and investment income. Interest
expense decreased $.5 million compared to the prior year due to a reduction in
average outstanding debt. Income tax expense was provided at a 2.2% lower
estimated annualized tax rate which anticipates lower net state income tax
expense in 1996.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operations at $22.3 million in 1996 increased $3.6 million
over 1995 due to higher net income and changes in working capital items.
Receivable increases were $3.9 million lower overall in 1996. While Chaparral's
receivables increased in the current quarter due to changes in its cash discount
policy, cement/concrete receivables declined as the wet summer weather reduced
shipments. Inventory increases were $5.3 million higher in 1996. Chaparral's raw
material inventories grew in anticipation of higher fall prices. Better
production levels resulting from the shorter summer shutdown period in 1996 also
increased finished goods inventories. Cement/concrete inventories, which had
declined in 1995, grew in 1996. Prepaid expense increases were $2.4 million
lower overall in 1996, due to the reduced cost of Chaparral's summer shutdown.
Accounts payable and accrued liability increases were up $2.5 million overall in
1996 on higher income tax accruals. Real estate and investments decreases were
$1.0 million lower in 1996.

Investing activities used $24.9 million compared to $14.5 million in 1995.
Capital expenditures at $24.7 million, increased $10.0 million over the prior
year period. Capital budget plans for the current fiscal year, estimated at $100
million, include anticipated expansion projects in the cement/concrete
operations, as well as, normal replacement and technological upgrades of
existing equipment.

Financing activities used $4.1 million less cash in 1996. Debt retirements in
1995 were $6.2 million higher than in 1996. Chaparral purchased $3.8 million of
its common stock in 1996 pursuant to a decision announced in October 1995
authorizing the repurchase of shares to satisfy obligations under its stock
option program and for other corporate purposes. TXI's quarterly cash dividend
at $.10 per common share remained unchanged from 1995 on 2% higher average
shares outstanding.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

TXI has a $100 million long-term bank line of credit which expires in September
2001. At August 31, 1996, $8.1 million was utilized to support letters of
credit. The Company expects that with this or similar credit facilities and
anticipated cash from operations, funds will be adequate to provide for capital
expenditures, scheduled debt repayments and other known working capital needs.
