Security and Issuer This Schedule 13D relates to the units (the "Units")representing limited partnership interest in HALLWOOD REALTY PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Issuer"). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 3710 Rawlins, Suite 1500, Dallas, Texas 75219-4298. Item 2. Identity and Background The persons filing this statement are Barberry Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Barberry")and High River Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("High River") (Barberry and High River are collectively, the "Icahn Group")and Carl C. Icahn, a citizen of the United States of America (collectively with the Icahn Group, the "Registrants"). The principal business address and the address of the principal office of (i) Barberry and High River is 100 South Bedford Road, Mount Kisco, New York 10549, and (ii) Carl C. Icahn is c/o Icahn Associates Corp., 767 Fifth Avenue, 47th Floor, New York, New York 10153. Barberry is the general partner of High River. Mr. Icahn is the sole shareholder, director and executive officer of Barberry. Mr. Icahn is the Chairman of the Board, President and Secretary of Barberry. As such, Mr. Icahn is in a position directly and indirectly to determine the investment and voting decisions made by the Icahn Group. Each of Barberry and High River is primarily engaged in the business of investing in securities. Carl C. Icahn's present principal occupation or employment is acting as President and a Director of Starfire Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Starfire"), and as the Chairman of the Board and Director of various of Starfire's subsidiaries, including ACF Industries, Incorporated, a New Jersey corporation ("ACF"). Starfire, whose principal business address is 100 South Bedford Road, Mount Kisco, New York 10549, is primarily engaged in the business of holding, either directly or through its subsidiaries, a majority of the common stock of ACF. ACF is primarily engaged in the business of leasing, selling and manufacturing railroad freight and tank cars. Except as disclosed on Exhibit 2 attached hereto, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference thereto, none of Barberry, High River, Carl C. Icahn, nor any manager or executive officer of any of the Icahn Group, has, during the past five years, (a) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration On March 1, 2003, High River entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the "Unit Purchase Agreement") with Gotham Partners, L.P.; Gotham Partners III, L.P., Gotham Holdings II, LLC (collectively "Gotham"), William Ackman and David P. Berkowitz pursuant to which High River agreed to purchase, 235,000 units for $18,800,000 plus the additional purchase price referred to in the Unit Purchase Agreement (the "Additional Purchase Price"). That transaction settled on March 3, 2003. The source of funding for the purchase of these Units was general working capital of High River. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction Registrants purchased the Units because they believed that the value of such Units exceeds the purchase price. Registrants may in the future seek to acquire additional Units. Any such acquisition may be made through private purchases, in the open market, or through a tender or exchange offer. Registrants may also consider selling some or all of their Units from time to time. In late February 2003, Registrants contacted the general partner of the Issuer in order to arrange for a meeting with the general partner. No such meeting was arranged. Registrants reserve the right to contact the general partner of the Issuer from time to time regarding matters affecting the Issuer. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer (a) As of the close of the business day on March 3, 2003, Registrants may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 235,000 Units, representing approximately 14.78% of the Issuer's outstanding Units (based upon the 1,589,948 Units stated to be outstanding as of November 12, 2002 by the Issuer in the Issuer's Form 10-Q filing, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended September 30, 2002). (b) High River has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to the 235,000 Units. Barberry has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with respect to the 235,000 Units held by High River. Carl C. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to the 235,000 Units held by High River. Barberry and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to High River (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Units which High River directly beneficially owns. Also, Mr. Icahn, by virtue of his relationship to Barberry (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Units which Barberry indirectly beneficially owns. Barberry disclaims beneficial ownership of the Units held by High River for all other purposes. Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of the Units held by High River and Barberry for all other purposes. (c) The following table sets forth all transactions with respect to Units effected during the past sixty (60) days by any of the Registrants. All such transactions were effected in a privately negotiated acquisition of the Units. Settlement No. of Units Price Name Date Purchased Per Unit High River 03/03/03 235,000 $80.00 (d) Gotham may become entitled to receive the Additional Purchase Price to the extent contemplated in the Unit Purchase Agreement. Registrants expressly disclaim any membership in any group with Gotham or any of the other signatories to the Unit Purchase Agreement and disclaim any beneficial ownership in any Units held by such persons. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationship with Respect to Securities of the Issuer Except for the Unit Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3, none of the Registrants has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

Icahn CARL C. ICAHN [Joint Filing Agreement for Schedule 13D with respect to HALLWOOD REALTY PARTNERS, L.P.] Exhibit 2 On January 5, 2001, Reliance Group Holdings, Inc. ("Reliance") commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against "Carl C. Icahn, Icahn Associates Corp. and High River Limited Partnership" alleging that High River's tender offer for Reliance 9% senior notes violated Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act. Reliance sought a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent defendants from purchasing the notes. The Court initially imposed a temporary restraining order. Defendants then supplemented the tender offer disclosures. The Court conducted a hearing on the disclosures and other matters raised by Reliance. It then denied plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction and ordered dissolution of its temporary restraining order following dissemination of the supplement. Reliance took an immediate appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and sought a stay to restrain defendants from purchasing notes during the pendency of the appeal. On January 30, 2001, the Court of Appeals denied plaintiff's stay application. On January 30, Reliance also sought a further temporary restraining order from the District Court. The Court considered the matter and reimposed its original restraint until noon the next day, at which time the restraint was dissolved. The appeal was argued on March 9 and denied on March 22.

This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 7.2 WAIVER. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative. 7.3 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party to be charged therewith. 6 7.4 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors or assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person, other than a person referred to herein, such as by reference to an Affiliate or indemnified person. 7.5 ASSIGNMENT; BINDING EFFECT. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by Purchaser without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Purchaser may from time to time assign or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, any or all of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to its Affiliates; provided that any such assignment or transfer shall not relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the prior sentence, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 7.6 HEADINGS. The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions hereof. 7.7 INVALID PROVISIONS. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance here from. 7.8 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York applicable to a Contract executed and performed in such State, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. 7.9 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 7.10 PURCHASER OBLIGATION. (a) Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Sellers and the Additional Signatories and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, managers and employees (each, a "Seller Indemnified Person") harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Seller Indemnified Person, as the result of any action taken by (or failure to act of) Purchaser or its Affiliates following the execution and delivery of this Agreement with respect to, or associated or in connection with, the Partnership or Purchaser's interests therein, including the Sale Units (provided, that for avoidance of doubt, such obligation of Purchaser shall not arise out of the entry of the parties into this Agreement or any breach by Sellers or any Additional Signatory of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder). (b) If a third party commences any action or makes any demand against a Seller Indemnified Person, such Seller Indemnified Person will promptly notify Purchaser in writing of such action or demand; provided that any failure of any Seller Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this SECTION 7.10, except to the extent that Purchaser is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Purchaser shall, at its own expense, defend any action for which such Seller Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder and shall be entitled to control the defense of such action with counsel (which counsel shall be chosen by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Sellers) who shall jointly represent Purchaser and its Affiliates and such Seller Indemnified Person; provided that in the event that a Seller Indemnified Person desires to participate in such action with counsel selected by such Seller Indemnified Person, such Seller Indemnified Person may do so at its sole cost and expense; provided further, however, that if counsel chosen by Purchaser cannot represent both Purchaser and such Seller Indemnified Person due to a disparity in the defenses available to Purchaser and to such Seller Indemnified Person, or other conflict of interest, such Seller Indemnified Person may participate in such action with counsel reasonably selected by such Indemnified Person at Purchaser's cost and expense. (c) Purchaser shall have the right to settle any action, so long as any such settlement results in a full release to all Seller Indemnified Persons subject to such action with respect to the matters asserted therein. (d) In the event that any Seller Indemnified Person brings a legal action against Purchaser in order to enforce its right to such indemnification, if it is ultimately determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that: (i) such Seller Indemnified Person is so entitled to indemnification, then such Seller Indemnified Person asserting such claim shall also be entitled to recover the reasonable cost and expense of counsel incurred in asserting such claim and bringing such action against Purchaser; or (ii) such Seller Indemnified Person has not prevailed in any such action, then such Seller Indemnified Person shall pay to Purchaser the reasonable cost and expense of counsel incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates in defending such claim. 7 7.11 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Sellers shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to Purchaser such documents and agreements, and shall take or cause to be taken such actions, as Purchaser may, from time to time, request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, each Seller hereby agrees to take such action and execute any transfer application or other documents (at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser) as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to complete the transfer of the Sale Units contemplated herein and to permit Purchaser to seek to become a substituted limited partner in the Partnership. 7.12 LIABILITY. Each Seller shall, each individually and on its own behalf, be liable with respect to all losses, costs, damages, judgments, suits, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) ("Losses") incurred or suffered by Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of or arising out of a breach by any Seller under this Agreement, and in particular shall be liable for all Losses, of whatever nature, resulting from a breach by Sellers of the terms of Article VI (Standstill) hereof. The Additional Signatories shall, each individually and on his own behalf, be liable with respect to all Losses incurred or suffered by Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of or arising out of a breach by such Additional Signatory of the terms of Article VI (Standstill) hereof. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Additional Signatories shall have no personal liability hereunder, unless such Additional Signatory shall have intentionally and knowingly caused a Seller to violate its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither any Seller nor any Additional Signatory shall be liable under Article VI for any action taken (or failure to take any action) by their respective Associates (as defined in the Poison Pill) unless (i) such Seller or such Additional Signatory, as the case may be, knew that such Associate was taking actions in violation of this Agreement; and (ii) such Seller or such Additional Signatory, as the case may be (A) had the opportunity to prevent such Associate from taking such actions in violation of this Agreement and (B) did not use such opportunity to prevent such Associate from taking such action in violation of this Agreement. 8 7.13 NOTICES.
