     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Maker and Payee hereby agree as
follows:

     1.     The  Maker  re-affirms its promise to pay to the order of the Payee,
at 2600 Citadel Plaza Drive, Suite 300, Houston, Harris County, Texas 77008, the
principal  balance  due and owing on the Note, with accrued interest thereon, as
provided  in  the  Note,  except  that  the  maturity date of the Note is hereby
amended  and extended until December 1, 2001, at which time the unpaid principal
balance of the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, shall be due
and  payable.


     All  liens  securing  the  Note,  including,  but  not limited to, the lien
created  by the Original Deed of Trust, are hereby renewed, extended and carried
forward  to secure payment of the Note, as hereby amended, and the Original Deed
of  Trust  is  hereby  amended  to reflect that the maturity date of the Note is
December 1, 2001.  All other Security Instruments including, but not limited to,
the Original Loan Agreement, are likewise hereby modified and amended to reflect
the  renewal and extension of the maturity date of the Note to December 1, 2001.

     2.     Maker  hereby represents and warrants to Payee that (a) Maker is the
sole legal and beneficial owner of the Property (b) Maker has the full power and
authority  to  make  the  agreements  contained in this Twelfth Renewal, without
joinder  and  consent  of  any  other party; and (c) the execution, delivery and
performance  of  this Twelfth Renewal will not contravene or constitute an event
which  itself  or which, with the passing of time, or giving of notice, or both,
would  constitute a default under any trust deed, deed of trust, loan agreement,
indenture  or other agreement to which Maker is a party or by which Maker or any
of  its  property  is bound.  Maker hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Payee  against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (including, without
limitation,  attorneys'  fees)  incurred  as  a  result of any representation or
warranty  made  by  Maker in this Section 2 proving to be untrue in any material
respect.

     3.     To  the  extent that the Note is inconsistent with the terms of this
Twelfth  Renewal,  the  Note is hereby modified and amended to conform with this
Twelfth  Renewal.  Except  as  modified,  renewed  and  extended by this Twelfth
Renewal,  the  Note  and  the Security Instruments remain unchanged and continue
unabated and in full force and effect as the valid and binding obligation of the
Maker.

     4.     In  conjunction  with the extension, renewal and modification of the
Note  and  the  Security Instruments, Maker hereby extends and renews the liens,
security  interests,  and  assignments  created  and  granted  in  the  Security
Instruments  until the indebtedness secured thereby, as so extended, renewed and
modified,  has  been  fully  paid,  and  agrees that such extension, renewal and
modification shall in no manner affect or impair the Note, the liens or security
interests  securing  same,  and  that  said  liens,  security  interests,  and
assignments  shall  not  in  any  manner be waived.  The purpose of this Twelfth
Renewal  is  simply  to  extend the time of payment of the loan evidenced by the
Note  and  any  indebtedness secured by the Security Instruments, as modified by
this  Twelfth  Renewal,  and  to  carry forward all liens and security interests
securing  the  same, which are acknowledged by Maker to be valid and subsisting.

     5.     Maker  covenants and warrants that the Payee is not in default under
the  Note  or  Security  Instruments,  each  as modified by this Twelfth Renewal
(collectively  referred  to  as  the  "Loan  Instruments"),  that  there  are no
defenses, counterclaims or offsets to such Loan Instruments; and that all of the
provisions  of  the  Loan  Instruments, as amended hereby, are in full force and
effect.

     6.     Maker  agrees  to  pay  all  costs  incurred  in connection with the
execution  and  consummation  of this Twelfth Renewal, including but not limited
to,  all recording costs, the premium for an endorsement to the Mortgagee Policy
of  Title  Insurance  insuring the validity and priority of the Original Deed of
Trust,  in  form  satisfactory to Payee, and the reasonable fees and expenses of
Payee's  counsel.

7.     If  any  covenant, condition, or provision herein contained is held to be
invalid by final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity
of  such covenant, condition, or provision shall not in any way affect any other
covenant,  condition,  or  provision  herein  contained.

     8.     Payee  is  an  unincorporated  trust  organized under the Texas Real
Estate  Investment  Trust Act.  Neither the shareholders of Payee, nor its Trust
Managers, officers, employees, or other agents shall be personally, corporately,
or  individually  liable, in any manner whatsoever, for any debt, act, omission,
or  obligation  of  Payee,  and all persons having claims of any kind whatsoever
against  Payee shall look solely to the property of Payee for the enforcement of
their  rights  (whether  monetary  or  non-monetary)  against  Payee.

     EXECUTED  this  day  and  year  first  above written, but effective for all
purposes  as  of  December  1,  2000.
