ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
This Amendment No. 38 to Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the
shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares") of
TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC., a Nevada corporation ("TCI" or
the"Issuer") and further amends the original Statement on Schedule 13D as
amended by Amendment Nos. 1 through 37 thereof (the "Amended Statement") filed
by and on behalf of the "Reporting Persons" described below. The principal
executive offices of TCI are located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300,
Dallas, Texas 75234. The CUSIP number of the Shares is 893617-20-9.
This Amendment No. 38 to Schedule 13D is being filed to reflect various
changes in the information contained in the Amended Statement, including the
results of a tender offer for the Issuer's Shares. During the period ended March
18, 2003, Transcontinental Realty Acquisition Corporation ("TCI AcqSub"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of American Realty Investors, Inc. ("ARL") received,
accepted and purchased 1,213,226 Shares of the Issuer pursuant to a cash tender
offer which resulted in the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons
increasing by approximately 15% of the number of Shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer outstanding.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
Item 2 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended as follows:
This Amendment is being filed on behalf of American Realty Trust, Inc.,
a Georgia corporation ("ART"), Basic Capital Management, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("BCM"), The Gene E. Phillips Children's Trust (the "GEP Trust"),
Syntek Asset Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("SAM LP"), ARL,
EQK Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("EQK"), and TCI AcqSub, each of which
have their principal executive offices located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite
300, Dallas, Texas 75234. All of ART, BCM, the GEP Trust, SAM LP, ARL, EQK and
TCI AcqSub are collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons." The
Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a "person" within the meaning of
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because Gene
E. Phillips is a general partner of SAM LP, BCM is beneficially owned by a trust
for the benefit of Mr. Phillips' children; BCM serves as Advisor to ARL, and Mr.
Phillips' son, Ryan T. Phillips, serves as a director of BCM and is a
beneficiary of the GEP Trust. EQK is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ART, and ART
and TCI AcqSub are each wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARL.
-1-
TCI AcqSub is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Nevada. TCI AcqSub is a subsidiary of ARL. The name, business
address and capacity with TCI AcqSub of each of the executive officers or
directors of TCI AcqSub are set forth on Schedule 7 attached hereto. Each of the
individuals listed on Schedule 7 is a citizen of the United States of America.
(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, nor any
of their respective executive officers or directors, general partners or
trustees has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations and/or similar misdemeanors).
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
The consideration paid to purchase the Shares described in Item 5 below
is from working capital of each of the Reporting Persons and no part of the
purchase price is represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or
otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the
Shares. Each of the Reporting Persons have in the past and may in the future,
utilized margin accounts with various brokerage firms which accounts may, from
time to time, have debit balances and include certain of the Shares. Since other
securities are held in such accounts, it may be impracticable at any time to
determine the amounts, if any, borrowed with respect to the Shares and interest
costs vary with applicable costs and account balances. Prior to the purchase of
the Shares in the cash tender offer which expired March 18, 2003, ARL and its
subsidiaries sold parcels of land and other assets and generated funds in the
ordinary course of business which included refinancings of one or more
outstanding loans. However, none of such transactions involved funds or other
consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the direct purpose of acquiring
the Shares pursuant to the cash tender offer.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended as follows:
Except with respect to the proposed tender offer described in Item 5
below, a merger transaction previously described and any ancillary affect same
would have on the following items, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans
or proposals which relate to or would result in:
(a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the
Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;
-2-
(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of TCI or any of
its subsidiaries (except that as part of the proposed merger transaction,
certain real property assets owned by the Issuer have been sold and may be sold
in the future);
(d) Any change in the present Board of Directors or Management of TCI,
including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to
fill any existing vacancies on the Board;
(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of TCI;
(f) Any other material change in TCI's business or corporate structure;
(g) Changes in TCI's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of TCI by
any person (except that the Reporting Persons' collective ownership of over 79%
of the outstanding Shares would itself be an impediment to any potential change
of control not approved by the Reporting Persons);
(h) Causing a class of securities of TCI to be delisted from a national
securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer
quotation system of a registered national securities association (except that if
the merger of TCI with a subsidiary of ARL is effectuated, TCI's Shares will no
longer be eligible for listing on a national securities exchange);
(i) A class of equity securities of TCI becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (except that if the merger of TCI with a
subsidiary of ARL is consummated, the number of common stockholders of TCI will
be reduced below 300, and such Shares would then become eligible for termination
of registration); or
(j) Any actions similar to any of those enumerated above.
-3-

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 6 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended to read as
follows:
EQK has pledged 2,751,798 Shares to Sunset Management, LLC pursuant to
a loan agreement with such lender. The remaining 1,242,503 Shares owned directly
by EQK may be deemed to be "collateral" for borrowings pursuant to margin or
other account arrangements with bankers and brokerage firms relating to accounts
of EQK. Such arrangements are standard arrangements involving margin securities
of up to a specified percentage of market value of the Shares and bear interest
at varying rates and contain only standard default and similar provisions, the
operation of any of which should not give any other person immediate voting
power or investment power over such securities. Such arrangements exist with the
Shares and other securities held in such accounts, and it is impracticable at
any given time to determine the amounts, if any, with respect to the Shares and
interest costs under such arrangements may vary with applicable costs and
account balances.
BCM has pledged 920,507 Shares to Sunset Management, LLC pursuant to a
loan agreement with such lender. The remaining 241,440 Shares owned by BCM may
be deemed to be "collateral" for borrowings pursuant to margin or other account
arrangements with bankers and brokerage firms relating to accounts of BCM. Such
arrangements are standard arrangements involving margin securities of up to a
specified percentage of the market value of the Shares and bear interest at
varying rates and contain only standard default and similar provisions, the
operation of any of which should not give any other person immediate voting
power or investment power over such securities. Such arrangements exist with the
Shares and other securities held in such accounts, and it is impracticable at
any given time to determine the amounts, if any, with respect to the Shares and
interest costs under such arrangements vary with applicable costs and account
balances.
All 26,475 Shares owned by SAM LP may be deemed to be "collateral" for
borrowings pursuant to margin or other account arrangements with Bear Stearns
relating to an account of SAM LP. Such arrangement with such brokerage firm is a
standard arrangement involving margin securities of up to a specified percentage
of the market value of all securities in such account, including the Shares, and
bears interest at varying rates and contains only standard default and similar
provisions, the operation of which should not give any other person immediate
voting power or investment power over such securities.
-6-
All 1,827 Shares owned by the GEP Trust may be deemed to be
"collateral" for borrowings pursuant to margin or other account arrangements
with a brokerage firm relating to an account of the GEP Trust. Such arrangements
are standard arrangements involving margin securities of up to a specified
percentage of the market value of the Shares and bear interest at varying rates
and contain only standard default and similar provisions, the operation of any
of which should not give any other person immediate voting power or investment
power over such securities. Such arrangements exist with the Shares and other
securities held in such account, and it is impracticable at any given time to
determine the amount, if any, with respect to the Shares and interest cost under
such arrangements vary with applicable costs and account balances.
Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs, the Reporting Persons
do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal
or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer
including finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or
calls, guaranties of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or
withholding of proxies.
