TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

DALLAS (August 15, 2007) — Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE: TCI), a Dallas-based real estate investment company, today reported a net loss applicable to common shares of ($13.1) million, or ($1.66) per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to net income of $4.6 million, or $0.56 per share for the same period in 2006.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company reported a net loss of ($19.6) million or ($2.49) per share, as compared to a net loss of ($3.9) million or ($0.50) per share for the same period in 2006.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same periods in 2006, higher operating income from acquisitions and completed developments was generally offset by a) increased interest expense due to acquisitions and refinancing and b) lower gains from fewer land and income-producing property sales.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007:

TCI incurred a net loss of ($13.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, including a loss from discontinued operations of ($496,000), as compared to a net income of $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, including income from discontinued operations of $1.7 million and a gain on sale of land of $8.7 million. Fluctuations in this and other components of revenues and expense between the three month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are discussed below.

Rents increased to $40.3 million in 2007 as compared to $29.4 million in 2006. The increase is principally due to additional rental income from the completion of new apartment construction projects and acquisitions of commercial properties including the January 2007 acquisition of the Parkwest I and II office buildings in Dallas, Texas.

Property operating expenses increased to $22.8 million in 2007 as compared to $17.8 million in 2006 due to the completion of new apartment construction projects and acquisition of commercial properties.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $6.8 million in 2007 as compared to $4.9 million in 2006 due to the completion of new construction projects and acquisitions of commercial properties.

Mortgage and loan interest expense increased to $19.6 million in 2007 as compared to $12.4 million in 2006. The increase is due to an increase in mortgages payable related to acquisitions and refinancing of income-producing properties as well as land held for development.

TCI recognized no gains on land sales in the three month period ended June 30, 2007. In 2006, the Company sold 168 acres of land in two separate transactions, generating net cash proceeds of $16.0 million and recognized gains of $8.7 million.

Income from discontinued operations before income taxes decreased to a net loss of ($763,000) in 2007 from net income of $2.7 million in 2006 due principally to no income-producing properties being sold in 2007. In 2006, TCI sold two apartment projects for a total sales price of $9.2 million, generating net cash proceeds of $3.4 million and recognized gains of $3.3 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007;

TCI had a net loss of ($19.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, including income from discontinued operations of $1.2 million and gains on land sales of $1.1 million, as compared to a net loss of ($3.9) million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, including income from discontinued operations of $1.3 million and gains on land sales of $9.0 million. Fluctuations in this and other components of revenues and expense between the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are discussed below.

Rents increased to $76.4 million in 2007 as compared to $58.2 in 2006. The increase is due to additional rental income from the completion of new apartment construction projects and the acquisition of commercial properties including the January 2007 acquisition of the Parkwest I and II office buildings in Dallas, Texas.

Property operating expenses increased to $44.3 million in 2007 as compared to $35.3 million in 2006 due to the completion of new apartment construction projects and acquisition of commercial properties.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $12.2 million in 2007 as compared to $9.8 million in 2006 due to the completion of new construction projects and acquisitions of commercial properties.

General and administrative expenses increased to $5.2 million in 2007 as compared to $3.0 million in 2006 due principally to a one-time receipt of litigation settlement proceeds in 2006.

Mortgage and loan interest expense increased to $35.4 million in 2007 as compared to $24.6 million in 2006 due to an increase in mortgages payable related to acquisitions and refinancing of income-producing properties as well as land held for development.

Gain on land sales decreased to $1.1 million in 2007 from $9.0 million in 2006. In 2007, TCI sold 97 acres of land in two separate transactions for sales prices totaling $4.5 million, generating $800,000 in net cash proceeds and recognized gains of $1.1 million. In 2006, the Company sold 179 acres of land in three separate transactions for sales prices totaling $30.1 million, generating $17.3 million in net cash proceeds and $9.0 million in recognized gains.

Income from discontinued operations before income taxes decreased to net income of $1.9 million in 2007 from net income of $2.0 million in 2006. In 2007, the Company sold one apartment complex located in Dallas. Texas for $24.1 million, generating net cash proceeds of $3.1 million and recognized gains of $3.6 million. In 2006, TCI sold two apartment projects for a total sales price of $9.2 million, generating net cash proceeds of $3.4 million and recognized gains of $3.3 million.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2007, TCI acquired over $112 million in income-producing properties, $14 million in land held for development and invested almost $92 million in residential and other development projects. These investments were financed principally with $107 million of acquisition-related debt, $84 million in construction and development financing, proceeds from land and income-producing property sales of $4 million, net proceeds from the refinancing of existing debt totaling $12 million and advances from affiliated companies.
