stock of 3333 Holding Corporation and 900 warrants to purchase Class B Units of
limited partnership interest in Centex Development Company, L.P. to its

currently trade only in tandem with the Centex Corporation Common Stock. Each
Centex Corporation stockholder's beneficial interest in the 3333 Holding

determined by multiplying the percentage of the stockholder's ownership of
Centex Corporation Common Stock by the number of shares of 3333 Holding
Corporation Common Stock and by the number of Centex Development Company
Warrants held by the nominee. For ease of reference, the Centex Corporation
Common Stock, the 3333 Holding Corporation Common Stock and the Centex

Development Company, L.P. are collectively referred to as the "Companies".

resale of the Offered Securities by affiliates of the Companies who have or may

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The Companies are registering the Offered Securities on behalf of the
Selling Stockholders. As used herein, "Selling Stockholders" includes donees and
pledgees selling Offered Securities received from a named Selling Stockholder
after the date of this prospectus. All costs, expenses and fees in connection
with the registration of the Offered Securities will be borne by Centex
Corporation. Brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any,
attributable to the sale of the Offered Securities will be borne by the Selling
Stockholders. Sales of Offered Securities may be effected by Selling
Stockholders from time to time in one or more types of transactions (which may
include block transactions) on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market, in
negotiated transactions, through put or call option transactions relating to the
Offered Securities, through short sales of Offered Securities, or a combination
of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at
negotiated prices. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers.
The Selling Stockholders have advised the Companies that they have not entered
into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or
broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities, nor is there an
underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale
of Offered Securities by the Selling Stockholders.

         The Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling
Offered Securities directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which
may act as agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in
the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders
and/or the purchasers of Offered Securities for whom such broker-dealers may act
as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a
particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).

         The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection
with the sale of Offered Securities might be deemed to be "underwriters" within
the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act and any commissions received
by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the Offered Securities
sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting
discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The Companies have agreed to
indemnify each Selling Stockholder against certain liabilities, which may
include liabilities arising under the Securities Act under certain
circumstances. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer
or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the
Offered Securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising
under the Securities Act.

         Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within
the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the Selling Stockholders
will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act,
which may include delivery through the facilities of the NYSE pursuant to Rule
153 under the Securities Act. The Companies have informed the Selling
Stockholders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated
under the Exchange Act may apply to their sales in the market.

         Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the Offered
Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements
of such rule.

         Upon the Companies being notified by a Selling Stockholder that any
material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of
Offered Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange
distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a
supplement to this Prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule
424(b) under the Act, disclosing, (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder
and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of Offered Securities
involved, (iii) the price at which such Offered Securities were sold, (iv) the
commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s),
where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any
investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in
the Prospectus and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition,
upon the Companies being notified by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or
pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares, a supplement to this Prospectus
will be filed.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         None of the Companies will receive any of the proceeds from the sale of
the Offered Securities by the Selling Stockholders.

                              SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

         The Centex Selling Stockholders are certain officers and directors of
Centex Corporation who may be deemed to be affiliates of Centex Corporation
under the Securities Act. The Holding Selling Stockholder is an officer and
director of 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation, the
general partner of Centex Development Company, L.P., who may be deemed to be an
affiliate of 3333 Holding Corporation and Centex Development Company, L.P. under
the Securities Act. Under the Securities Act, an "affiliate" of an entity
includes a person who directly, or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with
such entity.

         Officers and directors of the Companies who (i) in the future acquire
Offered Securities pursuant to the Plans and (ii) may be deemed to be affiliates
of the Companies, may be added to this Prospectus as Selling Stockholders either
by means of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statements or by use
of a supplement to this Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Securities Act.

(as well as the corresponding beneficial interest in the 3333 Holding

ITEM 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

    Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development
Corporation, the General Partner of Centex Development Company, L.P., are Nevada
corporations. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the NGCL, every Nevada
corporation has the authority to indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation)
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the
corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or not
opposed to the best interest, of the corporation and with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful.




                                     II - 1

   8




    Under Nevada law, Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333
Development Corporation also have authority to indemnify any such person who is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed actions or suits brought by or in the right of the corporation, but
only to the extent of expenses including amounts paid in settlement and
attorneys' fees. No indemnification shall be made, however, for any claim, issue
or matter as to which a person has been adjudged by a court to be liable to the
corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and
only to the extent that the court determines that in view of all the
circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such expenses as
the court deems proper.

    To the extent any of the persons referred to in the two immediately
preceding paragraphs is successful in the defense of the actions referred to
therein, the NGCL provides that such person must be indemnified by the
corporation against expenses including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense.

    Section 78.751 of the NGCL requires the corporation to obtain a
determination that any discretionary indemnification is proper under the
circumstances. Such a determination may be made by a corporation's stockholders
or disinterested directors, or under certain circumstances, pursuant to an
independent legal opinion. The Articles of Incorporation of Centex Corporation,
3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation provide for
indemnification of their directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada
law.

    In addition, Section 78.037 of the NGCL permits Nevada corporations to
include in their articles of incorporation a provision eliminating the personal
liability of their directors and officers for damages resulting from certain
fiduciary duty breaches. An amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Centex
Corporation was adopted by its stockholders at the annual meeting thereof held
on July 15, 1987 in order to effect the permitted limitation on liability. The
Articles of Incorporation of 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development
Corporation contain a similar provision limiting the liability of their
directors and officers for such damages, as do the Bylaws of each Centex
Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation.

    The Bylaws of the Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation and 3333
Development Corporation each provide that the corporation shall indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent provided by the
NGCL and such corporation's Articles of Incorporation. In addition, the Bylaws
of each corporation provide for indemnification to the same extent of any
director, officer or employee of the corporation who serves in any fiduciary
capacity with respect to any profit sharing, pension or other type of welfare
plan or trust for the benefit of employees of the corporation or its
subsidiaries.

    Centex Corporation has entered into indemnification contracts with its
directors and may enter into similar contracts from time to time with certain
officers of Centex Corporation and its subsidiaries who are not directors of
Centex Corporation. The general effect of the indemnification contracts is to
provide that the indemnitees shall be indemnified to the fullest possible extent
permitted by the law against all expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of
Centex Corporation, by reason of their service in the foregoing capacities. The
indemnification contracts were approved by the stockholders of Centex
Corporation at the annual meeting of stockholders held on July 16, 1986.

    The Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Centex
Development Company, L.P., as amended (the "Limited Partnership Agreement"),
provides that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Centex Development
Company, L.P. will indemnify the General Partner and its directors, officers,
employees and agents and persons serving on behalf of Centex Development
Company, L.P. in similar capacities with other entities against liabilities,
costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by the General
Partner or such persons in connection with litigation or threatened litigation,
if the General Partner or such persons acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Centex
Development Company, L.P., and such General Partner's or such other person's
conduct did not constitute gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct and,
with respect to any criminal proceeding, did not have any reason to believe its
conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification under these provisions will be limited
to the assets of Centex Development Company, L.P.

    Pursuant to authority granted by the NGCL and its respective Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws, each of Centex Corporation, 3333 Holding Corporation
and 3333 Development Corporation, and with respect to Centex Development
Company, L.P., pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement, has purchased
directors and officers liability insurance.

    The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the
statute, Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and agreements referred to above and
are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

    The information required by this Item 8 is set forth in the Index to

ITEM 9.    UNDERTAKINGS.

        The undersigned Companies hereby undertake:

        (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
    a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

         (i)   To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the 
        Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act");

         (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after 
        the effective date of the Registration Statements (or the most recent
        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
        aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
        in the Registration Statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
        increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
        dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
        registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
        maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
        with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
        in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
        aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
        Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;

         (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
        distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statements or
        any material change to such information in the Registration Statements;

    Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
    information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
    paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Companies pursuant
    to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
    reference in this Registration Statement.

        (2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
    Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
    new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
    the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
    initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
    any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
    termination of the offering.

        (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
    Act, each filing of the Companies' annual reports pursuant to section 13(a)
    or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
    an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
    Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
    Statements shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to
    the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
    time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
    Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
    persons of the Companies pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
    the Companies have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
    indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
    and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
    indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
    Companies of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
    person of any of the Companies in the successful defense of any action, suit
    or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
    in connection with the securities being registered, the Companies will,
    unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
    controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
    question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
    expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
    adjudication of such issue.
