ITEM 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On January 21, 1997, Texas Instruments Incorporated (the 
"Registrant") entered into an asset purchase agreement with AII Holding 
Corporation ("AIIH") and its parent, Acer Incorporated, pursuant to which AIIH 
agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets, and assume certain of the 
liabilities, of the Registrant's notebook computer business (the "Mobile 
Computing Business") at a purchase price equal to the net book value of the 
Mobile Computing Business at December 31, 1996, subject to adjustment for 
calendar 1997 operating losses incurred by the Mobile Computing Business.  The 
closing of the sale of the U.S. portion of the Mobile Computing Business was 
consummated on February 28, 1997, and the Registrant anticipates that the non-
U.S. portion of the transaction will be consummated on or about March 31, 
1997.

                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF INCOME
<FN>
<F1>(1) A pro forma consolidated balance sheet is not presented herein because 
the assets and liabilities of the Mobile Computing Business were not material 
to the Registrant.



                                   3

<F2>(2) Amounts reflect operating results of the Mobile Computing Business for 
1996.

<F3>(3) Operating results of the Mobile Computing Business include a fourth 
quarter pretax charge of $112 million, of which $101 million was for asset 
write-downs and $11 million was for severance actions completed by year end.

    In addition to the charge taken in the fourth quarter, the Registrant 
expects to take a charge in the first quarter of 1997 for severance and other 
costs associated with the sale of the Mobile Computing Business.
