                                  ABOUT TRINITY

      Trinity is one of the nation's leading diversified industrial companies
providing a variety of high volume, repetitive products and services for the
transportation, industrial, and construction sectors of the market place. We
compete in cyclical markets and are continuously looking for opportunities to
improve our competitive positions. Our principal product lines include:

      o     tank and freight railcars and related parts;

      o     inland dry-cargo and tank barges and related covers;

      o     highway guardrail and safety products;

      o     concrete and aggregates;

      o     weld pipe fittings;

      o     structural bridge products;

      o     pressure containers and container heads; and

      o     leasing and managing railcar fleets.

      Our five principal business groups are set forth below:

      TRINITY RAIL GROUP. Our railcar group primarily serves two markets: North
America and Europe. We develop and manufacture a comprehensive selection of
railcars used for transporting a wide variety of liquids, gases and dry cargo.
From tank cars to specialty cars, we produce the widest range of railcars in the
industry and are the largest producer of railcars in North America. We also
manufacture and sell railcar parts, such as auto carrier doors and accessories,
hatch rings, discharge gates, covers, floors, yokes, couplers, axles, hitches,
bogies, center plates and chutes. The parts are ultimately used in manufacturing
and repair of railcars. In addition, we have the ability to maintain, repair and
modify railcars through our repair network.

      INLAND BARGE GROUP. We are the largest producer of inland barges in the
United States. We manufacture a variety of dry-cargo barges, such as deck barges
and open and covered hopper barges that transport various commodities, such as
grain, coal and aggregates. We also produce tank barges used to transport liquid
products at high or low temperatures. Our manufacturing facilities are located
along the United States inland river system allowing for rapid delivery to our
customers.

      CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS GROUP. Our construction products group is composed
of highway safety products, concrete and aggregates, beams and girders used in
highway construction and weld pipe fittings. We are one of the largest
manufacturers of roadside safety products in North America. Our products include
highway safety guardrails and patented products such as guardrail end terminals,
crash cushions, and other protective barriers that absorb and dissipate the
force of impact in collisions between vehicles and fixed roadside objects. We
supply ready mix concrete to the industrial, residential and highway
construction businesses and provide aggregates such as crushed stone, sand and
gravel for a variety of uses. In addition, we also supply weld pipe fittings,
such as caps, elbows, return bends, tees, concentric and eccentric reducers and
full and reducing tees.

      INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS GROUP. We are a leading producer of tank containers
and tank heads for pressure vessels. We manufacture our tanks in the United
States, Mexico and Brazil. Our tanks include gas tanks for rural housing,
transport and storage tanks, motor fuel tanks, air receivers and a variety of
cylinders. We market a portion of our industrial products in Mexico under the
brand name of TATSA.



                                       3


      TRINITY RAILCAR LEASING AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES GROUP. We lease
specialized types of railcars, consisting of both tank cars and freight cars.
Our railcars are leased to industrial companies in the petroleum, chemical,
agricultural, energy and other industries that supply their own railcars to the
railroads.

      We originally incorporated in Texas in 1933 as Trinity Industries, Inc.
and reincorporated in Delaware in 1987 by merging the Texas corporation into a
wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary with the same name. Our principal offices are
located at 2525 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75207-2401, and our telephone
number is (214) 631-4420. Our Internet web site is at www.trin.net. The
information on our web site does not constitute a part of this prospectus.

                                  THE OFFERING

      On March 6, 2002, we completed a private placement of our common stock to
two accredited investors. We agreed to register the resale of the shares of our
common stock purchased in this private placement and bear the expenses incident
to this registration. In connection with this agreement, we are registering for
resale by these investors up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock.
Registration of these shares does not mean that all or any portion of the shares
will be offered for sale by the investors. For more information on the
investors, please see the section entitled "Selling Stockholders." We will not
receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares. For more information related
to the use of proceeds, see the section entitled "Use of Proceeds."

                                  RISK FACTORS

      Before you invest in our common stock, you should understand the risks
involved. You should carefully consider these risk factors as well as all of the
other information contained in this prospectus before deciding to purchase
shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, the
trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of
your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRIES

      THE CYCLICAL NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS RESULTS IN LOWER REVENUES DURING
ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS.

      We operate in cyclical industries. Downturns in overall economic
conditions usually have a significant adverse effect on cyclical industries due
to a decreased demand for new and replacement products. This decreased demand
could result in lower sales volumes, lower prices and/or a loss of profits. In
addition, our recent acquisition of Thrall Car Manufacturing Company has
increased our exposure to the effects of the cyclical nature of the railcar
business. The railcar industry is presently in a deep down cycle and operating
with a minimal backlog. If this down cycle continues we could experience
increased losses and could make additional plant closures and incur related
costs.

      OUR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES EXPOSE US TO POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT CLAIMS.

      We warrant the workmanship and materials of many of our products under
limited warranties. Accordingly, we may be subject to significant warranty
claims in the future such as multiple claims based on one defect repeated
throughout our mass production process or claims for which the cost of repairing
the defective part is highly disproportionate to the original cost of the part.
We have never experienced any material losses attributable to warranty claims,
but the possibility exists for these types of warranty claims to result in
costly product recalls, significant repair costs and damage to our reputation.

      WE MAY BE LIABLE FOR PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS THAT EXCEED OUR INSURANCE
COVERAGE.

      The nature of our business subjects us to product liability claims,
especially in connection with the repair and manufacture of products that carry
hazardous or volatile materials. We maintain reserves and liability insurance
coverage at levels based upon commercial norms in the industries in which we
operate and our historical claims experience. However, an unusually large
product liability claim or a string of claims based on a failure repeated
throughout our mass production process may exceed our insurance coverage or
result in damage to our reputation.

      WE HAVE POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES, WHICH MAY
INCREASE COSTS AND LOWER PROFITABILITY.

      Our operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal,
state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those dealing with
air quality and the handling and disposal of waste products, fuel products and
hazardous substances. In particular, we may be required to incur remediation
costs and other related expenses because:

      o     some of our manufacturing facilities were constructed and operated
            before the adoption of the current environmental laws and the
            institution of compliance practices; and

      o     some of the products that we manufacture are used to transport
            hazardous materials.



                                       5


      Furthermore, although we have conducted and intend to conduct appropriate
due diligence with respect to environmental matters in connection with
acquisitions, we may be unable to identify or be indemnified for all potential
environmental liabilities relating to any acquired business. Environmental
liabilities incurred by us, if not covered by adequate insurance or
indemnification, will increase our costs and have a negative impact on our
profitability.

      WE COMPETE IN HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRIES, WHICH MAY IMPACT OUR
FINANCIAL RESULTS.

      We face aggressive competition in all geographic markets and each industry
sector in which we operate. As a result, competition on pricing is often
intense. The effect of this competition could reduce our revenues, limit our
ability to grow, increase pricing pressure on our products, and otherwise affect
our financial results.

RISKS RELATED TO TRINITY

      FLUCTUATIONS IN THE SUPPLY OF COMPONENT PARTS USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF
OUR PRODUCTS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR ABILITY TO
COST-EFFECTIVELY MANUFACTURE AND SELL OUR PRODUCTS.

      A significant portion of our business depends on the adequate supply of
numerous specialty components such as brakes, wheels, side frames and bolsters
at competitive prices. We depend on outside suppliers for a significant portion
of our component part needs. While we endeavor to be diligent in our contractual
relationships with our suppliers, a significant decrease in the availability of
specialty components could materially increase our cost of goods sold or prevent
us from manufacturing our products on a timely basis.

      RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES COULD
ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

      Our operations outside of the United States are subject to the risks
associated with cross-border business transactions and activities. Political,
legal, trade or economic changes or instability could limit or curtail our
foreign business activities and operations. Some foreign countries where we
operate have regulatory authorities that regulate railroad safety, railcar
design and railcar component part design, performance and manufacture used on
their railroad systems. If we fail to obtain and maintain certifications of our
railcars and railcar parts within the various foreign countries where we
operate, we may be unable to market and sell our railcars in those countries. In
addition, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade
barriers, more stringent rules relating to labor or the environment, adverse tax
consequences and price exchange controls could limit operations and make the
manufacture and distribution of our products difficult. Furthermore, any
material change in the quotas, regulations or duties on imports imposed by the
U.S. government and agencies or on exports by the government of Mexico or its
agencies could affect our ability to export the railcars and liquified petroleum
gas containers that we manufacture in Mexico. The uncertainty of the legal
environment in these and other areas could limit our ability to enforce our
rights effectively.



                                       6


      WE MAY INCUR INCREASED COSTS DUE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN INTEREST RATES AND
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES.

      We are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and
changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to minimize these risks,
when considered appropriate, through the use of currency and interest rate
hedges and similar financial instruments and other activities, although these
measures may not be implemented or effective. Any material and untimely changes
in interest rates or exchange rates could result in significant losses to us.

      BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS WITH OUR KEY MANAGEMENT
EMPLOYEES, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RETAIN THEIR SERVICES IN THE FUTURE.

      Our success depends on the continued services of our key management
employees, none of whom currently have employment agreements with us. Although
we have historically been successful in retaining the services of our key
management, we may be unable to do so in the future. The loss of the services of
one or more key members of our management team could result in increased costs
associated with attracting and retaining a qualified replacement and could
disrupt our operations and result in a loss of revenues.

      ALTHOUGH OUR BUSINESS WAS NOT DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE RECENT TERRORIST
ATTACKS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES, THE LONG-TERM EFFECT OF THESE EVENTS, OR THE
DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN RESPONSE TO THEM, COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO
OPERATE PROFITABLY IN THE FUTURE.

      The terrorist attacks that occurred in the United States on September 11,
2001, the subsequent military response by the United States, other terrorist
attacks and future events occurring in response to or in connection with these
attacks may negatively impact the economy in general. In particular, the
negative impacts of these events may affect the industries in which we operate.
This could result in delays in or cancellations of the purchase of our products
or shortages of raw materials or component parts. Any of these occurrences could
have a significant adverse impact on our operating results, revenues and costs.

                SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      Some of the statements under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this
prospectus constitute forward-looking statements. All projections contained in
this prospectus are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our
industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward- looking statements.

      Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial
performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology like "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "project,"
"anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," or
"continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These
statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.
In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various
factors, including the risks outlined under "Risk Factors." These factors may
cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking
statement.

      Potential factors that could cause our actual results of operations to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include:

      o     market conditions and demand for our products;

      o     the cyclical nature of both the railcar and barge industries;

      o     the timing of introduction of new products;

      o     the timing of customer orders;

      o     price erosion;

      o     changes in mix of products sold;

      o     the extent of utilization of manufacturing capacity;

      o     availability of supplies and raw materials;

      o     price competition and other competitive factors;

      o     technologies;

      o     steel prices;

      o     interest rates and capital costs;

      o     taxes;

      o     the stability of the governments and political and business
            conditions in certain foreign countries, particularly Mexico and
            Romania;

      o     changes in import and export quotas and regulations;

      o     business conditions in emerging economies; and

      o     legal, regulatory and environmental issues.

      Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person
assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements. We
are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date
of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results and do not
intend to do so.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

      We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common
stock by the selling stockholders. Any proceeds from the sales of the shares of
common stock received by the selling stockholders will be retained by the
selling stockholders.

                              SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

      In a private placement transaction completed on March 6, 2002, we issued a
total of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. In this private placement,
620,000 shares were issued to Acqua Wellington Private Placement Fund, Ltd. and
880,000 shares were issued to Acqua Wellington Opportunity I Limited. These
selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this
prospectus any or all of the 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. The following
table sets forth, as of March 19, 2002, the number of shares of our common stock
that each selling stockholder beneficially owns. The term "selling stockholder"
includes the holders listed below and its transferees, pledgees, donees or other
successors receiving shares from the holders listed below after the date of this
prospectus. We have prepared this table based upon information furnished to us
by or on behalf of the selling stockholders. Based on information provided to us
by the selling stockholders, neither selling stockholder beneficially owns any
shares of our common stock other than those listed below.

      The selling stockholders confirmed at the time they acquired the shares
listed below that they acquired the shares for investment purposes only and not
with a view toward their resale, and acknowledged the existence of restrictions
on resale applicable to these shares. This offering relates only to the sale of
shares held or to be held by the selling stockholders named in the following
table. Since the date on which they provided us with the information below, the
selling stockholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or
all of their shares of our common stock in transactions exempt from Securities
Act registration requirements.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the selling
stockholders. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions
at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices
related to the prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the
time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected at various
times in one or more of the following transactions, or in other kinds of
transactions:

      o     transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or on any national
            securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered
            national securities association on which our common stock may be
            listed or quoted at the time of sale;

      o     in the over-the-counter market;

      o     in private transactions and transactions otherwise than on these
            exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

      o     in connection with short sales of the shares;

      o     by pledge to secure debt and other obligations;

      o     through the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an
            options exchange or otherwise;

      o     in connection with the writing of non-traded and exchange-traded
            call options, in hedge transactions and in settlement of other
            transactions in standardized or over-the-counter options; or

      o     through a combination of any of the above transactions.

      The selling stockholders and their successors, including their
transferees, pledgees or donees or their successors, may sell the common stock
directly to purchasers or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who
may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the selling stockholders or the purchasers. These discounts, concessions or
commissions as to any particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be in
excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved.

      In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for
sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144
rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

      We entered into registration rights agreements for the benefit of each of
the selling stockholders to register our common stock under applicable federal
and state securities laws. The registration rights agreements provide for
cross-indemnification of the selling stockholders and us and our respective
directors, officers and controlling persons against specific liabilities in
connection with the offer and sale of the common stock, including liabilities
under the Securities Act. We will pay substantially all of the expenses incurred
by the selling stockholders incident to the offering and sale of the common
stock.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

      The validity of the issuance of the common stock offered in this
prospectus is being passed upon for us by our lawyers, Haynes and Boone, LLP,
Dallas, Texas.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

      (a) Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(collectively, a "Proceeding") (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful.

      Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against such expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted under similar standards,
except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification
for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

      Further, Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that, to the extent a
director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or



                                      II-1


proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

      Section 145(f) of the DGCL provides that the statutory provisions on
indemnification are not exclusive of indemnification provided pursuant to, among
other things, the bylaws or indemnification agreements. Our Bylaws contain
provisions regarding the indemnification of directors and officers Trinity.
Article VI of our Bylaws provides for the indemnification of Trinity's officers
and directors to substantially the same extent permitted by the DGCL.

      The indemnification described above (unless ordered by a court) shall be
paid by us unless a determination is made that indemnification of the director,
officer, employee or agent is not proper in the circumstances because he has not
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth above. This determination must
be made:

      o     by the our Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
            consisting of directors who were not parties to such Proceeding;

      o     if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum
            of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel
            in a written opinion; or

      o     by the Trinity's stockholders.

      Article VI of our Bylaws provides that costs, charges and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by a person seeking indemnification under
Article VI of our Bylaws in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by us in
advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that the
payment of such costs, charges and expenses incurred by a director or officer in
his capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which
service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer) in
advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be made only upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay
all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that
such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by us. Such costs,
charges and expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon
such terms and conditions, if any, as our Board of Directors deems appropriate.
Our Board of Directors may, upon approval of such director, officer, employee or
agent of Trinity, authorize Trinity's counsel to represent such person in any
Proceeding, whether or not Trinity is a party to such Proceeding.

      Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its
certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be
personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, but excludes specifically liability
for any:

      o     breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
            stockholders;

      o     acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
            misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

      o     payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
            redemptions; or

      o     transactions from which the director derived an improper personal
            benefit.

      The provision does not limit equitable remedies, such as an injunction or
rescission for breach of a director's fiduciary duty of care.



                                      II-2


      Our Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating the
personal liability of a director from breaches of fiduciary duty, subject to the
exceptions described above.

      (b) We have entered into indemnity agreements with our directors and
officers that establish contract rights to indemnification substantially similar
to the rights to indemnification provided for in our Bylaws.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

A.    Rule 415 Offering.

      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

      (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

            (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

            (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fees"
table in the effective registration statement.

            (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement; provided,
however, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

      (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

      (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

B.    Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference.

      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is



                                      II-4


incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

C.    Request for Acceleration of Effective Date.

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action suit, or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

      Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Dallas and State of Texas on the 19th day of March,
2002.
