                         Notes to Financial Statements

Earnings per common and common equivalent share are based on average common 
and common equivalent shares outstanding (197.2 and 194.2 million shares for 
the first quarters of 1997 and 1996).  Shares issuable upon exercise of 
dilutive stock options and upon conversion of dilutive convertible debentures 
are included in average common and common equivalent shares outstanding. 

In the first quarter of 1997, the company sold its mobile computing business 
and terminated its digital imaging printing development program.  As a result, 
the company took a pretax charge of $56 million in the first quarter, of which 
$27 million was for severance for involuntary employment reductions worldwide. 
These severance actions were essentially completed by the end of the quarter 
and affected approximately 1,045 employees.  The balance, $29 million, was for 
other costs associated with the business sale and program termination, 
including vendor cancellation and lease charges.

The statements of income, statements of cash flows and balance sheet at 
March 31, 1997, are not audited but reflect all adjustments which are of a 
normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a 
fair statement of the results of the periods shown.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations.

Higher operating margins in the Registrant's (the "company" or "TI") 
differentiated semiconductor products led to improved profitability in the 
first quarter of 1997.  Major strategic actions continue to accelerate TI's 
progress in providing value, growth and improved financial stability, and 
further strengthen TI's position in digital signal processing solutions 
(DSPS).

Note: Throughout this report, TI's defense operations are reported as a 
discontinued business.  As previously reported, TI expects the acquisition by 
Raytheon of its defense business to close in the second quarter of 1997.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Revenues from continuing operations during the first quarter of 1997 were 
$2263 million, down 15 percent from the year-ago period, reflecting lower 
prices for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips, and the absence of 
revenues due to the sale of TI's mobile computing, custom manufacturing 
services and printer businesses.

Results for the current quarter include a special pretax charge of $56 
million, primarily related to severance actions and other costs associated 
with the sale of TI's mobile computing business.

Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter from continuing operations, excluding 
the charge, were $0.70, compared with $0.68 in the year-ago period.  EPS from 
discontinued operations were $0.14, compared with $0.16 in the first quarter 
of 1996.  Including the charge, EPS from continuing operations were $0.52.

Profit from operations (PFO) from continuing operations, excluding the charge, 
was $227 million versus $146 million in the year-ago period.  Net income from 
continuing operations, excluding the charge, was $138 million versus $132 
million in the first quarter of 1996.  Including the charge, PFO from 
continuing operations was $171 million and net income was $102 million.  Net 
income from discontinued operations was $27 million versus $31 million in the 
year-ago period.

TI's operating profit margin, excluding the charge, improved sharply in the 
first quarter to 10.0 percent, up from 5.5 percent in the year-ago period, due 
to higher gross margins.  Marketing, general and administrative expenses for 
TI as a percentage of revenues were 15.6 percent, compared with 14.8 percent 
in the year-ago period, excluding the portion of the charge related to this 
expense category.  Including the charge, operating profit margin in the first 
quarter was 7.6 percent.

SEMICONDUCTOR

Semiconductor orders were higher than the year-ago period and grew at double-
digit rates over the fourth quarter of 1996, with strength across all products 
and geographic regions.  Orders for DSP Solutions (DSPs and mixed-
signal/analog products) reached record levels, with particular strength in 
mass storage, networking and wireless communications end equipment markets.


                                       6

TI's semiconductor revenues were below year-ago levels, primarily due to lower 
DRAM prices.  Excluding memory, semiconductor revenues were significantly 
higher than year-ago levels.  Revenues for digital signal processors and 
mixed-signal/analog products continue strong, at more than 40 percent of total 
semiconductor revenues.

Semiconductor profit from operations was up substantially from the first 
quarter of 1996, reflecting strength in differentiated products.  Compared 
with the fourth quarter of 1996 (excluding special charges), PFO was up more 
than 50 percent because of differentiated semiconductors and narrowing losses 
in DRAMs.

During the quarter, TI strengthened its leadership position in digital signal 
processors with the introduction of the TMS320C6x, which has the speed and 
power to support the explosive growth of data communications, especially the 
Internet.

U.S. Robotics, the leading supplier of computer modems to the retail channel, 
began shipments during the quarter of the x2 modem, based on a DSP solution 
from TI.  It provides data transmission at speeds up to twice that of existing 
modems.  Packard Bell NEC, Inc., a leading manufacturer of personal computers, 
also announced the adoption of the x2 modem.

MATERIALS & CONTROLS

Revenues in TI's materials and controls business were up slightly from the 
first quarter of 1996.  Operating profit margins increased from the first 
quarter of 1996 and are at double-digit levels.  The materials and controls 
business continues to develop electronic sensors, and recently won a multi-
million dollar order for TIRIS radio frequency identification systems that 
will provide gas pump point-of-sale capability to Mobil Corp.

PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY PRODUCTS

As previously announced, TI sold its mobile computing business to The Acer 
Group during the quarter.  Revenues during the quarter in the calculator 
business reflected seasonal patterns.  The business continues to invest in new 
product development, and plans to expand in the educational market in Europe 
and Asia during 1997.

EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES

TI continues to focus on achieving cost reductions in its digital imaging 
operation as it transitions from a research and development phase into volume 
production.  During the quarter, TI began shipping digital light processing 
(DLP) products for high brightness, professional projection systems 
manufactured by Digital Projection Limited, Electrohome, and Sony.

TI's software business released Composer 4(R) during the quarter, which 
provides the baseline toolset that enables customers to develop systems by 
assembling a collection of software components.

SUMMARY

TI's plans for 1997 are based on a moderate recovery in the world 
semiconductor market of about 10 percent growth, following a decline of nine 
percent in 1996.  The non-DRAM portion of the market will likely grow more 
than 10 percent, with differentiated semiconductors such as DSPs and mixed-
signal analog products growing two to three times faster than the overall 
market.

Based on TI's latest customer survey, semiconductor inventories remain at 
record low levels.  The company is seeing signs of improved stability in DRAM 
pricing, and the combination of cost controls and momentum in TI's 
differentiated semiconductors are having a positive impact on the company's 
performance.

</TABLE>

TI's orders for the first quarter of 1997 were $2500 million, compared with 
$2635 million in the same period of 1996.  The decrease was due primarily to 
lower DRAM prices and the sale of TI's mobile computing, custom manufacturing 
services and printer businesses.

TI's revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were $2263 million, compared with 
$2675 million in the same period of 1996.  The decrease in the components 
segment was due to  DRAM pricing.  Digital products revenues were down due to 
the sale of TI's mobile computing, custom manufacturing services and printer 
businesses.

Royalty revenues in first-quarter 1997 were up moderately from the same period 
of 1996, primarily due to the previously announced cross-licensing agreement 
with Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd.

In the first quarter of 1997, the company sold its mobile computing business 
and terminated its digital printing development program.  As a result, the 
company took a special pretax charge of $56 million in the first quarter, of 
which $27 million was for severance for involuntary employment reductions 
worldwide.

Excluding the charge, profit from operations for the first quarter of 1997 was 
up substantially from the year-ago period to $227 million, primarily because 
of strength in differentiated semiconductors and the absence of losses in 
mobile computing.





                                       8
Components segment profit was up from the first quarter of 1996, primarily the 
result of increased volume and higher margins in differentiated 
semiconductors, despite the loss in memory.

Excluding the charge of $38 million, the digital products segment essentially 
broke even during the first quarter of 1997.  The improvement from the first 
quarter of 1996 was due to the absence of mobile computing losses.  

The income tax rate for the first quarter of 1997 was 35 percent, which is the 
estimated rate for the full year.

TI's financial condition remains sound.  During the quarter, cash and cash 
equivalents plus short-term investments increased by $74 million to $1052 
million.  Cash flow from operating activities net of additions to property, 
plant and equipment was a positive $53 million.  On January 6, 1997, TI and 
Raytheon Company announced that their boards of directors had approved a 
definitive agreement for Raytheon to purchase the assets of TI's defense 
operations for $2.95 billion in cash.  The transaction is subject to Hart-
Scott-Rodino antitrust review and is expected to close in the second quarter 
of 1997.  TI plans to use the net proceeds from the sale to strengthen its 
focus on digital solutions for the networked society.

The outstanding balance of commercial paper was $300 million at the end of the 
quarter, essentially unchanged from year-end 1996.  The debt-to-total-capital 
ratio was .32, down from the year-end 1996 value of .33.

TI's backlog of unfilled orders as of March 31, 1997, was $1860 million, up 
$237 million from the end of 1996, due to strong semiconductor orders.  
Backlog was down $303 million from the year-ago period due to lower DRAM 
prices.  Excluding memory, total backlog was up from the first quarter of 
1996. 

R&D was $239 million in the first quarter of 1997, compared with $243 million 
in the first quarter of 1996.  R&D is expected to be $1.1 billion in 1997, up 
from $1.0 billion in 1996 (excluding the one-time charge associated with the 
SSi acquisition), primarily to support semiconductors.

Capital expenditures in the first quarter of this year were $225 million, 
compared to $523 million in the first quarter of 1996.  For the full year 
1997, TI expects capital expenditures to be $1.1 billion.

Depreciation for the first quarter of 1997 was $246 million, compared to $173 
million in the year-ago period.  Depreciation for 1997 is projected at $1.1 
billion, up from $904 million in 1996.

              TEXAS INSTRUMENTS EXECUTIVE OFFICER PERFORMANCE PLAN
                            Dated February 20, 1997


The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success of the Company by providing 
performance-based compensation for executive officers.

For purposes of the Plan unless otherwise indicated, the term "Company" shall 
mean Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries. 

The Plan is intended to provide qualified performance-based compensation in 
accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 
amended, and regulations thereunder ("Code") and will be so interpreted.

Covered Employees

The executive officers of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 3b-7 of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended from time to time) as of March 30 of 
each calendar year ("performance year") shall receive awards under the Plan for 
such performance year.  An individual who becomes an executive officer after 
March 30 and on or before October 1 of a performance year shall receive an 
award as provided below.

Administration of Plan 

The Plan shall be administered by a Committee of the Board of Directors which 
shall be known as the Compensation Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee 
shall be appointed by a majority of the whole Board and shall consist of not 
less than three directors.  The Board may designate one or more directors as 
alternate members of the Committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified 
member at any meeting of the Committee.  A director may serve as a member or 
alternate member of the Committee only during periods in which the director is 
a "non-employee director" as described in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934, as in effect from time to time.  In addition, a director 
may serve as a member or alternate member of the Committee only during periods 
in which the director is an "outside director" as described in Section 162(m) 
of the Code.  The Committee shall have full power and authority to construe, 
interpret and administer the Plan.  It may issue rules and regulations for 
administration of the Plan.  It shall meet at such times and places as it may 
determine.  A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a 
quorum and all decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and 
binding upon all parties, including the Company, the stockholders and the 
employees. 


The Committee shall have the full and exclusive right to make reductions in 
awards under the Plan.  In determining whether to reduce any award and the 
amount of any reduction, the Committee shall take into consideration such 
factors as the Committee shall determine.

Expenses of Administration

The expenses of the administration of this Plan, including the interest 
provided in the Plan, shall be borne by the Company.

Amendments

The Board of Directors of the Company may, at any time and from time to time, 
alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any part thereof as it may deem 
proper and in the best interests of the Company, provided, however, that no 
such action shall affect or impair the rights under any award theretofore 
granted under the Plan, except that in the case of a covered employee employed 
outside the United States the Board may vary the provisions of the Plan as it 
may deem appropriate to conform with local laws, practices and procedures.  
Further, unless the stockholders of the Company shall have first approved 
thereof, no amendment shall be made which shall increase the maximum amount of 
any award above the amount determined by the formula described below in any 
year.

Awards

Subject to the Committee's discretion to reduce such awards, each covered 
employee shall be entitled to an award for each performance year equal to 0.5% 
of the Company's consolidated income from continuing operations before 
(i) provision for income taxes, (ii) awards under the Plan, (iii) any pretax 
gain or loss exceeding $25 million recognized for the year related to 
divestiture of a business and (iv) any write-off of in process research and 
development expenses exceeding $25 million associated with an acquisition, 
("Consolidated Income"), as determined and reported to the Committee by the 
Company's independent auditors.

An individual who becomes an executive officer after March 30 and on or before 
October 1 of a performance year shall receive an award for that performance 
year based on the Consolidated Income of the Company for each calendar quarter 
following the quarter in which the individual becomes an executive officer.

Scope of the Plan

Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as precluding or prohibiting the 
Company from establishing or maintaining other bonus or compensation 
arrangements, which may be generally applicable or applicable only to selected 
employees or officers.





                                        2

Report of Awards; Committee Discretion to Reduce

As soon as practicable after the end of each performance year, the Company's 
independent auditors shall determine and report to the Committee and the 
Committee shall certify the amount of each award for that year under the 
provisions of this Plan.

The Committee, in its sole discretion, based on any factors the Committee deems 
appropriate, may reduce the award to any covered employee in any year 
(including reduction to zero if the Committee so determines).  The Committee 
shall make a determination of whether and to what extent to reduce awards under 
the Plan for each year at such time or times following the close of the 
performance year as the Committee shall deem appropriate.  The reduction in the 
amount of an award to any covered employee for a performance year shall have no 
effect on the amount of the award to any other covered employee for such year. 

Payment of Awards

Awards and any installments thereof shall be paid in cash as of a date or dates 
determined by the Committee or, if the Committee makes no determination, then 
as soon as practicable after the amount of the awards has been determined.

The Committee may direct the awards to the covered employees or any of them for 
any year to be paid in a single amount or in installments of equal or varying 
amounts or may defer payment of any awards and may prescribe such terms and 
conditions concerning payment of awards as it deems appropriate, including 
completion of specific periods of employment with the Company, provided that 
such terms and conditions are not more favorable to a covered employee than 
those expressly set forth in this Plan.  The Committee may determine that 
interest will be payable with respect to any payment of any award.  The 
Committee may at any time amend any such direction and may amend or delete any 
such terms and conditions if the Committee deems it appropriate.  The 
Committee's actions under this paragraph shall be subject to and in accordance 
with the rules governing qualified performance based compensation in Section 
162(m) of the Code.

Payments of awards to covered employees who are employees of subsidiaries of 
the Company shall be paid directly by such subsidiaries.
