Item 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 17, 2009, TXI Operations, LP (“TXI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Texas Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into Contract Amendment No. 1 (the “Construction Contract Amendment”) to amend a construction contract signed September 21, 2007 with AMEC-Zachry Contractors (the “Contractor”), a joint venture between Zachry Construction Corporation, now known as Zachry Industrial, Inc., and AMEC E&C Services, Inc.  In the Construction Contract Amendment, the parties changed the terms of the original contract governing the construction of a new 3,850 short tons per day cement manufacturing facility in Hunter, Texas to allow work to be halted prior to the original completion date of the facility, address terms such as the duration of applicable warranties and resolve matters that arose during construction.  When TXI wishes to recommence and complete work on the new facility, the Construction Contract Amendment allows TXI to seek bids from any parties it chooses, including affiliates of the original Contractor.

A copy of the Construction Contract Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
