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 nine-month period ended February 29,
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended May 31, 1996.  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, 1995.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Industries,
Inc. (the Company) and all subsidiaries.  The minority interest represents the
17.6% 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.

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

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, currently being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 40-year
period, is net of accumulated amortization of $13.7 million at February 29, 1996
and $12.2 million at May 31, 1995.  Management reviews remaining goodwill with
consideration toward recovery through future operating results (undiscounted) at
the current rate of amortization.

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 $2.3 million in the nine-month periods ended
February 1996 and 1995, based on a five-year period.  Total accumulated
amortization is $12.3 million.

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 $207.5 million at February 29, 1996, compared to $187.6
million at May 31, 1995.

Notes and accounts receivable of $117.2 million at February, compared with $99.4
million at May, are presented net of allowances for doubtful receivables of $3.8
million at February and $3.2 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 $13.1 million at February and $11.6 million at May.

</TABLE>

Annual maturities of long-term debt for each of the five succeeding years are
$13.9, $13.7, $13.4, $10.9 and $97.3 million.

The Company has available a bank-financed $150 million long-term line of credit.
In addition to the $88.5 million currently outstanding under this line, $5.4
million has been utilized to support letters of credit. Commitment fees at an
annual rate of .19% are paid on the unused portion of this line.

On April 9, 1996, the Company concluded the placement of $75 million in fixed-
rate senior notes having an average maturity of ten years and average interest
rate of 7.28%.  The proceeds were used to repay bank debt.

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 $41.5 million as of February 29, 1996.  The Company and
Chaparral are in compliance with all loan covenant restrictions.

LONG-TERM DEBT-(Continued)

Property, plant and equipment, principally Chaparral's, carried at a net amount
of approximately $207.3 million at February 29, 1996 is mortgaged as collateral
for $15.7 million of secured debt.

The amount of interest paid for the nine-month periods presented was $14.0
million in 1996, and $12.2 million in 1995.

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

INCOME TAXES

Federal income taxes for the interim periods ended February 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 35.4% for 1996
compared with 32.6% 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 $29.9
million in 1996 and $16.6 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.

                    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 February 29, 1996, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1995, respectively, and the
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended
February 29, 1996 and February 28, 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, 1995, 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 14, 1995, 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, 1995, 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 and nine-
month periods ended February 29, 1996 to the three-month and nine-month periods
ended February 28, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net sales of $235.0 million for the quarter ended February 29, 1996
increased 18% over the prior year period.  Steel sales were $159.0 million, up
$26.6 million, a 20% increase resulting from the recovery in the structural beam
market.  Both structural mill shipments and average realized prices increased
15% as compared to the prior year quarter.  As experienced in the August and
November quarters, demand from service centers, fabricators and the mobile home
industry for structural mill products has increased substantially from the prior
year.  Bar mill results continue to reflect the weak condition in U. S.
manufacturing, with shipments 4% below last year and prices 5% lower as well.
Chaparral uses its ability to adjust its product mix in order to maximize profit
margins.  Cement/concrete sales, at $76.1 million, grew 14% over the prior year
period as a result of continued price improvements and increased volumes.
Cement average trade pricing was up 13% over the prior year with shipments at
comparable levels.  Ready-mix net sales reflect a 19% increase in volume from
expanded capacity and a 5% increase in average trade prices maintaining the
growth experienced in the last two quarters.  Aggregate sales improved on higher
volumes, with prices slightly lower overall due to product mix.

Consolidated cost of products sold, including depreciation, depletion and
amortization was $190.4 million, an increase of $21.5 million over the prior
year quarter.  Steel cost of sales was $132.1 million, an increase of $14.5
million.  The 12% increase was caused predominately by the 35,000 ton increase
in shipments and higher melt shop conversion costs.  Cement/concrete costs were
up $7.0 million to $58.3 million on increased volumes.

Operating profit of $34.9 million was $13.6 million higher in the current
quarter over the prior year period due to increased sales and improved margins.
Steel profits, at $21.2 million, were up 90% from the prior year and 6% from the
November quarter.  Cement/concrete profits were up $3.6 million in the February
quarter over the prior year period.  Following the normal seasonal pattern,
lower volumes in the February quarter contributed to a $8.2 million decline in
profits from the November quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses at $16.0 million were slightly
higher than the prior year period.  The steel SG&A increase of $1.9 million,
principally due to higher provisions for employee incentive expense were offset
by a reduction in cement/concrete incentive accruals.  Corporate resources other
income in the current quarter includes $.9 million from property sales.  These
sales increased to $5.8 million the income generated by the Company's real
estate operations during the current nine-month period.  Interest expense
remained comparable to the prior year quarter as reduced interest rates offset
increased outstanding debt.

Income tax expense was provided at a 2.8% higher estimated annualized tax rate
which anticipates more pre-tax income in 1996 to be taxed at the 35% U. S.
corporate rate and higher net state income tax expense.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operations, at $90.3 million for the nine-month period
ended February 29, 1996, was $22.2 million higher than the 1995 period.
Chaparral reduced inventories by $12.2 million in 1995, returning the
inventories to more normal historical levels.  Chaparral's 1996 inventories grew
$7.5 million in anticipation of higher demand in the spring quarter.  Accounts
receivable increases during 1996 were $9.6 million lower overall than the prior
year.  Property sales from the Company's real estate operations in the current
period provided $4.9 million in operating cash, net of $6.9 million in
additional notes receivable.

Investing activities used $68.7 million during the 1996 nine-month period
compared to $29.8 million used during the 1995 period.  Capital expenditures in
1996 were $36.3 million higher than the prior year.  Capital budget plans for
the current fiscal year, estimated at $85 million, include anticipated expansion
projects in the cement/concrete operations, as well as, normal replacement and
technological upgrades of existing equipment.  Additional items of
transportation and aggregate handling equipment are expected to be leased.

Financing activities used $40.3 million less cash or $24.3 million in the 1996
nine-month period than in the prior year period.  Debt repayments, including the
repayment by Chaparral of $15.0 million of short-term bank debt, were $18.7
million greater in 1995.  Borrowing increased $21.3 million in 1996 over the
prior year.  Chaparral purchased $6.4 million of its common stock during 1996
pursuant to a decision announced in October, authorizing the repurchase of
shares to satisfy obligations under its stock option program and for other
corporate purposes.  TXI's quarterly cash dividend which was increased to $.10
per common share in January 1995 was 50% higher than the 1995 rate on
approximately 10% fewer outstanding shares due to treasury share repurchases in
the February and May 1995 quarters.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

TXI has a $150 million long-term bank line of credit which expires in September
2000.  At February 29, 1996, $56.1 million was available for future borrowings.
Chaparral did not renew its short-term credit facilities of $20 million which
expired January 31, 1996.  None of Chaparral's bank lines were utilized during
the current nine-month period.

On April 9, 1996, the Company concluded the placement of $75 million in fixed-
rate senior notes having an average maturity of ten years and average interest
rate of 7.28%.  The proceeds were used to repay bank debt.

The Company expects that with current 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.
