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,
1995, 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
18.0% 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 $13.2 million at November 30, 1995
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 $1.5 million in the six-month periods ended
November 30, 1995 and 1994, based on a five-year period.  Total accumulated
amortization is $11.6 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 $195.2 million at November 30, 1995, compared to $187.6
million at May 31, 1995.

Notes and accounts receivable of $108.4 million at November, compared with $99.4
million at May, are presented net of allowances for doubtful receivables of $3.8
million at November 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 $12.3 million at November and $11.6 million at May.

LONG-TERM DEBT-Continued

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 $38.8 million as of November 30, 1995.  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 $212.2 million at November 30, 1995 is mortgaged as collateral
for $21.9 million of secured debt.

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 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
of option transactions for the six-month period ended November 30, 1995,

At November 30, 1995, there were 148,315 shares exercisable and 548,110 shares
available for future grants. Outstanding options expire on various dates to
October 17, 2005.

INCOME TAXES

Federal income taxes for the interim periods ended November 30, 1995 and 1994,
have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an
estimated annual rate.  The estimated annualized tax rate is 36.0% for 1995
compared with 32.5% for 1994.  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 $17.7
million in 1995 and $11.2 million in 1994.

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 November 30, 1995, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month
periods ended November 30, 1995 and 1994, and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended November 30, 1995 and
1994. 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 six-
month periods ended November 30, 1995 to the three-month and six-month periods
ended November 30, 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net sales of $244.3 million for the quarter ended November 30,
1995, increased 21% over the prior year period.  Steel sales were $155.0
million, up $28.7 million, a 23% increase resulting from the recovery in the
structural beam market.  Shipments and average realized prices both increased
10% as compared to the prior year quarter.  Demand from service centers,
fabricators and the mobile home industry for structural mill products has
increased substantially from the prior year.  Chaparral continued a trend begun
in the spring of 1995 by announcing December price increases on most structural
products which make up approximately half of total steel shipments.  Bar mill
results reflect weak conditions in U. S. manufacturing, with shipments 11% below
last year.  Realized prices remain equal with the prior year but down 4% from
the August 1995 quarter.  Chaparral continues to use its ability to adjust its
product mix in order to maximize profit margins.  Cement/concrete sales grew 19%
to $89.3 million over the prior year period as a result of both volume and price
improvements  for all major products.  Margins have continued to expand as the
level of construction activity in the Texas region has been maintained.  Cement
average trade pricing was up 12% over the prior year with shipments remaining at
levels near productive capacity.  Ready-mix net sales reflect a 37% increase in
volume from expanded capacity and a 5% increase in average trade prices
maintaining the growth experienced in the August quarter.  Aggregate prices
improved slightly, primarily due to product mix on increased sales volume over
the prior year.

Consolidated cost of products sold including depreciation and amortization was
$190.6 million, an increase of $24.9 million over the prior year quarter.  Steel
cost of sales was $129.4 million, an increase of $17.9 million.  The 16%
increase was caused predominately by the increase in shipments of 38,000 tons
and higher melt shop conversion costs.  Cement/concrete costs were up $7.0
million to $61.2 million on increased volumes.

Operating profit of $41.8 million in the current quarter was $14.3 million
higher than the prior year quarter due to increased sales and improved margins.
Steel profits were $6.5 million higher in the current  quarter over the August
quarter which were reduced due to the normal scheduled summer shut-down to
refurbish the production facilities.  Cement/concrete profits were up $5.4
million in the November quarter over the prior year period.  Following the
normal seasonal pattern, lower volumes in the November quarter contributed to a
$2.9 million decline in profits over the August quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses at $18.5 million increased $4.6
million, principally due to higher provisions for employee incentive expense in
both the steel and cement/concrete operations.  Corporate resources other income
in the current quarter includes $4.9 million from property sales generated by
the Company's real estate operations.  Interest expense increased slightly
compared to the prior year period on increased average outstanding debt.

Income tax expense was provided at a 3.5% higher estimated annualized tax rate
which anticipates more pre-tax income in 1995 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 $68.1 million for the six-month period ended
November 30, 1995, was $6.7 million higher than the 1994 period.  Chaparral
reduced inventories by $15.0 million in the 1994 six-month period returning the
inventories to more normal historical levels.  Chaparral's 1995 inventories grew
$5.5 million due to raw materials purchases made in anticipation of winter
quarter price increases.  Property sales from the Company's real estate
operations in the 1995 period provided $4.7 million in operating cash and $6.0
million in additional notes receivable.  Accounts receivable increases during
the 1995 period were $4.5 million lower overall than the prior year period.
Average days' sales remained unchanged from the prior year.

Investing activities used $31.9 million in 1995 compared to $21.0 million in
1994, as capital expenditures were $10.5 million higher than the same period
last year.  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.  Additional items of transportation and aggregate handling
equipment are expected to be leased.

Financing activities used $14.1 million less cash or $36.7 million in 1995.
Debt repayments were $18.0 million greater in the 1994 period, including the
repayment by Chaparral of $15.0 million of short-term bank debt.  Chaparral
purchased $6.4 million of its common stock during the current quarter 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 double the 1994 rate on approximately 12% fewer
outstanding shares due to treasury share repurchases in the February and May
quarters.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

TXI has a $150 million long-term bank line of credit which expires in September
2000.  At November 30, 1995, $75.6 million was available for future borrowings.
Chaparral has short-term credit facilities of $20 million, none of which was
utilized during the current six-month period.  Chaparral's bank lines expire
January 31, 1996.  Management believes that it will be able to renew these lines
or obtain similar credit facilities.

The Company expects that with its present 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.
