Item 5.  Other Events

     On August 9, 1995, the transaction by which a Mobil
Corporation (Mobil) affiliate exercised its option to acquire a 40%
working interest in the Garden Banks project of Enserch
Exploration, Inc. (EEX) was closed.  As a result of this
transaction, EEX was relieved of approximately $140 million of its
$370 million capital and operating lease obligations on the
project, as well as a proportionate share of any future capital
expenditure requirements on the project.  In addition, EEX received
cash at closing and future work commitments from Mobil.  EEX
remains the operator of the project.  Production on the Garden
Banks project is expected to commence in the third quarter of this
year.
