At the meeting, action will be taken upon the following matters:

(1) Approval of an amendment to Centex's Restated Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock
from 50 million shares to 100 million shares.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CENTEX RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE
---
AMENDMENT TO CENTEX'S RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.

RECORD DATE AND VOTING

The record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of
and to vote at the meeting is the close of business on December 11, 1997. At
the close of business as of the record date, the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Centex entitled to vote at the meeting consisted of 29,690,412 shares
of Centex Common Stock.

The holders of Centex Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share
upon the approval of the amendment to Centex's Restated Articles of
Incorporation, and each other matter that may be properly brought before the
meeting or any adjournment thereof. Neither the Restated Articles of
Incorporation nor the By-laws of Centex provide for cumulative voting rights.
The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Centex Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum;
abstentions and, by definition, broker non-votes will be counted as present for
purposes of establishing a quorum.

Shares represented by valid proxies will be voted at the meeting in
accordance with the directions given. If the proxy card is signed and returned
without any direction given, the shares will be voted for approval of the
amendment to Centex's Restated Articles of Incorporation. The Board of
Directors does not intend to present, and has no information that others will
present, any business at the special meeting other than as set forth in the
attached Notice

-2-
4
of Special Meeting of Stockholders of Centex. However, if other matters
requiring the vote of stockholders come before the meeting, it is the intention
of the persons named in the accompanying form of Centex proxy to vote the
proxies held by them in accordance with their best judgment in such matters.
Any stockholder of Centex has the unconditional right to revoke his Centex
proxy at any time prior to the voting thereof by submitting a later-dated
proxy, by attending the meeting and voting in person or by written notice to
Centex addressed to Raymond G. Smerge, Secretary, Centex Corporation, 2728
North Harwood, Dallas, Texas 75201; however, no such revocation shall be
effective until received by Centex at or prior to the meeting.

The cost of solicitation of proxies for the meeting will be borne by
Centex. Solicitation may be made by mail, personal interview, telephone,
and/or facsimile or other electronic transmission by officers and other
employees of Centex, who will receive no additional compensation therefor. To
aid in the solicitation of proxies, Centex has retained the firm of Georgeson &
Company Inc., which will receive a fee of approximately $8,500 plus
out-of-pocket expenses. Centex will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them
in forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners.

ITEM 1. AMENDMENT TO RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

GENERAL

Centex's Restated Articles of Incorporation currently authorize the
issuance of up to 50 million shares of Common Stock and up to five million
shares of Preferred Stock. Of such authorized shares, at the record date
29,690,412 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and 2,768,654
shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance under Centex's stock option
plans.

Of the 50 million authorized shares of Common Stock, an aggregate of only
17,540,934 shares of Common Stock are currently available for other purposes.
The Board of Directors believes that the remaining available shares of Common
Stock will be inadequate for Centex's future needs and that it is in the best
interests of Centex and its stockholders to have a greater number of authorized
and unissued shares available to provide flexibility to Centex in structuring
its capitalization, in financing future acquisitions and internal growth, and
in accommodating the other needs of Centex for available Common Stock.

The Board of Directors has approved and recommends to the stockholders
approval of a proposed amendment to Centex's Restated Articles of Incorporation
to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 50 million to
100 million. If the stockholders approve this proposal, the first paragraph of
Article Fourth of Centex's Restated Articles of Incorporation will be amended
to read in its entirety as follows:

"Fourth: The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the
Corporation is authorized to issue is One Hundred Five Million
(105,000,000). All such shares are to have a par value and are classified
as (i) Five Million (5,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Stock"), each share of such stock having such par value as the Board of
Directors of the Corporation may from time to time designate in the
resolutions providing for the issuance thereof, as hereinafter provided,
and (ii) One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the
"Common Stock"), each share of such stock having a par value of $0.25."

-5-

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT

The purpose of the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock is to ensure that additional shares of Common Stock will be
available, if and when needed, for issuance by Centex in the form of a stock
split and for any other proper purpose approved by the Board of Directors
(including, without limitation, issuances to raise capital or effect
acquisitions, the use of additional shares for various equity compensation and
other employee benefit plans, the declaration of stock dividends or other
corporate distributions and for other bona fide corporate purposes). The Board
of Directors believes that the availability of the additional authorized shares
of Common Stock for issuance upon approval of the Board of Directors for a
stock split, without the necessity for, or the delay inherent in, a meeting of
the stockholders (except as may be required by applicable law, by regulatory
authorities, or by the policies, rules and regulations of the New York Stock
Exchange or such other stock exchange on which Centex's securities may then be
listed), will be beneficial to Centex and its stockholders by providing Centex
with the flexibility required to promptly effect a stock split.

Management's continuing efforts to improve the financial condition and
results of operations of Centex have been successful and have been reflected in
an increased market price of the Common Stock. As a result, the Board of
Directors has declared a two-for-one split of Centex's Common Stock which
should result in a market price believed to be more attractive to a broader
spectrum of investors, particularly individual investors. The two-for-one
stock split is conditioned upon (i) stockholder approval of the proposed
amendment to Centex's Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number
of authorized shares of Common Stock from 50 million to 100 million and (ii)
the absence of any material changes to Centex's financial condition, results of
operations and market price, as determined in the Executive Committee's
discretion. The Executive Committee consists of Messrs. Hirsch, Quinn,
Gillilan (through December 31, 1997) and Seegers.

It is possible that the stock split will not be effected. However, should
the Executive Committee conclude that there have been no material changes in
Centex's financial condition, results of operations or market price and that
therefore a stock split will be effected, stockholder approval of an amendment
to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock would be necessary
to enable Centex to effect such a split. By obtaining stockholder approval
now, the Board of Directors will avoid the delay which would be required for
obtaining such approval. Conversely, delaying the proposal to increase the
authorized Common Stock until the next regularly-scheduled annual meeting of
Centex stockholders in July 1998 would necessarily eliminate the Board of
Directors' ability to effect a stock split prior to that date. The stock split
does not require stockholder approval. Readers should note that none of the
share-related data in this Proxy Statement is adjusted to take into account
the proposed stock split.

If the proposed amendment is approved by Centex stockholders but the stock
split is not effected due to a material change in Centex's financial condition,
results of operations or market price, the additional authorized shares may be
used for any other proper purpose approved by the Board of Directors
(including, without limitation, issuances to raise capital or effect
acquisitions, the use of additional shares for various equity compensation and
other employee benefit plans, the declaration of stock dividends or other
corporate distributions and for other bona fide corporate purposes).

If the proposed amendment is approved by Centex stockholders, the Board of
Directors does not presently intend to seek further stockholder approval with
respect to any particular issuance of shares, unless required by applicable
law, by regulatory authorities, or by the policies, rules and regulations of
the New York Stock Exchange or such other stock exchange on which Centex's
securities may then be listed.

Stockholders do not have any pre-emptive or similar rights to subscribe for
or purchase any additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued in the
future and, therefore, future issuances of Common Stock, depending upon the
circumstances, may have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, book value
per share, voting power and other interests of existing stockholders.

The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock
could have an anti-takeover effect, although that is not its purpose. For
example, if Centex were the subject of a hostile takeover attempt, it could try
to impede the takeover by issuing shares of Common Stock, thereby diluting the
voting power of the other outstanding shares and increasing the potential cost
of the takeover. The availability of this defensive strategy to Centex could
discourage unsolicited takeover attempts, thereby limiting the opportunity for
Centex's stockholders to realize a higher

-6-
8
price for their shares than might otherwise be available in the public markets.
The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to
acquire control of Centex, and this proposal is not being presented for the
purpose of creating an anti-takeover device.

Except for the issuance of shares in the stock split (if it is effected),
Centex has no present commitments for the issuance or use of the additional
shares proposed to be authorized by the amendment.

EFFECT OF THE STOCK SPLIT

No change in total stockholders' equity will result from the stock split.
The aggregate amount of capital represented by the outstanding shares of Common
Stock will be increased by $0.25 for each share issued to effect the stock
split and the Company's capital in excess of par value account will be reduced
by the same amount. After the stock split, purchases and sales of Common Stock
by an individual stockholder may be subject to higher brokerage charges and
applicable stock transfer taxes than on a pre-split transaction of equivalent
market value, due to the greater number of shares of Common Stock involved
after the stock split. In addition, the Company will incur certain expenses in
connection with the stock split, such as the cost of preparing and delivering
to stockholders new certificates representing additional shares.

In accordance with the terms of the Company's stock option, stockholder
rights, and employee benefit plans, appropriate adjustments will be made upon
the effectiveness of the stock split to the number of shares reserved for
issuance under such plans and to the exercise prices and number of shares
covered by the rights and outstanding options.

The Company has been advised that, based on current tax law, the stock
split should not result in any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.
The tax basis of every share held before the stock split will be allocated
between the two shares held as a result of the distribution, and the holding
period of the new shares will include the holding period of the shares with
respect to which they were issued. The laws of jurisdictions other than the
United States may impose income taxes on the issuance of the additional shares
and stockholders subject to such laws are urged to consult their tax advisors.

As noted above, the stock split is contingent on stockholder approval of
the proposed amendment, but stockholders are not being asked to vote on the
stock split.

RECOMMENDATION AND REQUIRED AFFIRMATIVE VOTE

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the following
resolution which will be presented at the meeting:

"RESOLVED, that the amendment to the Restated Articles of
Incorporation of Centex be, and it hereby is, ratified, confirmed and
approved."

The affirmative vote of the holders of record of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Centex Common Stock present in person or by proxy and
entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting is required to approve the
amendment. Accordingly, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote
against the amendment.
