</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Centex Corporation (&#147;Centex&#148;), 3333 Holding Corporation (&#147;Holding&#148;) and
3333 Development Corporation (&#147;Development&#148;), the general partner of Centex
Development Company, L.P., are Nevada corporations. Pursuant to the provisions
of Section&nbsp;78.7502 of the Nevada General Corporation Law, every Nevada
corporation has 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, except 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 at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Nevada law, Centex, Holding and Development also have 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 or suit by or in the right
of the corporation, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and
attorneys&#146; fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. No indemnification shall be made, however, for
any claim, issue or matter as to which a person has been adjudged by a court of
competent jurisdiction 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 indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent any person referred to in the two immediately preceding
paragraphs is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding, the Nevada General Corporation Law provides that such
person must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including
attorneys&#146; fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law requires Nevada
corporations to obtain a determination that any discretionary indemnification
is proper under the circumstances. Such a determination must be made by the
corporation&#146;s stockholders; its board of directors by majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
or, under certain

Incorporation of Centex, Holding and Development provide for indemnification of
its directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, Section&nbsp;78.037 of the Nevada General Corporation Law permits
Nevada corporations to include in their articles of incorporation a provision eliminating the
personal liability of their directors and officers, to the corporation or
stockholders, for damages resulting from their breach of fiduciary duties. An
amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Centex Corporation was adopted by
its stockholders at the annual meeting held on July&nbsp;15, 1987 in order to effect
the permitted limitation on liability. The Articles of Incorporation of
Holding and Development contain a similar provision limiting the liability of
their directors and officers for such damages, as do the Bylaws of Centex,
Holding and Development.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bylaws of Centex, Holding and Development each provide that the
corporation shall indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to
the fullest extent provided by the Nevada General Corporation Law and such
corporation&#146;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.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Centex has entered into indemnification contracts with its directors and
may enter into similar contracts from time to time with certain officers and
employees of Centex and its subsidiaries who are not directors of Centex. 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&#146; 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, by
reason of their service in the foregoing capacities. The provisions of the
aforementioned indemnification contracts were approved by Centex&#146;s stockholders
at the annual meeting of stockholders held on July&nbsp;16, 1986.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the
&#147;Limited Partnership Agreement&#148;) of Centex Development Company, L.P. (&#147;CDC&#148;)
provides that to the fullest extent permitted by law, CDC will indemnify the
general partner and its directors, officers, employees and agents and persons
serving on behalf of CDC 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 CDC, and such general partner&#146;s or such other person&#146;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 his conduct was
unlawful. Any indemnification under these provisions will be limited to the
assets of CDC.

that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of such registrant 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, such registrant 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee
pursuant to Rule 457(h)(1), and computed on the basis of the
market price of the Common Stock on August 29, 2001 in accordance with Rule 457(c).

On November 30, 1987, Centex Corporation ("Centex") distributed as a
dividend to its stockholders (through a nominee, the "Nominee") all the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value ("Holding
Common Stock"), of 3333 Holding Corporation, a Nevada corporation
("Holding"), and 900 warrants (the "Stockholder Warrants") to purchase
Class B Units of limited partnership interest in Centex Development
Company, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("CDC").
The Nominee holds the Stockholder Warrants and 1,000 shares of Holding
Common Stock on behalf of and for the benefit of persons ("Centex
Stockholders") who are from time to time the holders of the common stock,
$0.25 par value ("Centex Common Stock"), of Centex. Each Centex Stockholder
owns a beneficial interest in that portion of the 1,000 shares of Holding
Common Stock and the Stockholder Warrants that the total number of shares of
Centex Common Stock held by such stockholder bears to the total number of
shares of Centex Common Stock outstanding from time to time. This
beneficial interest of the Holding stockholders is not represented by a
separate certificate or receipt. Instead, each Centex Stockholder's pro
rata portion of such beneficial interest is represented by the certificate
or certificates evidencing such Centex Stockholder's Centex Common Stock,
and is currently tradeable only in tandem with, and as a part of, each such
Centex Stockholder's Common Stock.

Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
.
Raymond G. Smerge, Esq., Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer,
General Counsel and Secretary of Centex Corporation, and the Secretary of 3333
Holding Corporation and 3333 Development Corporation, will issue an opinion
about the legality of the securities registered hereby. Mr. Smerge

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Centex Corporation ("Centex"), 3333 Holding Corporation ("Holding") and
3333 Development Corporation ("Development"), the general partner of Centex
Development Company, L.P., are Nevada corporations. Pursuant to the provisions
of Section 78.7502 of the Nevada General Corporation Law, every Nevada
corporation has 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, except 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 at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Under Nevada law, Centex, Holding and Development also have 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 or suit by or in the right
of the corporation, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. No indemnification shall be made, however, for
any claim, issue or matter as to which a person has been adjudged by a court of
competent jurisdiction 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 indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
To the extent any person referred to in the two immediately preceding
paragraphs is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding, the Nevada General Corporation Law 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 Nevada General Corporation Law requires Nevada
corporations to obtain a determination that any discretionary indemnification
is proper under the circumstances. Such a determination must be made by the
corporation's stockholders; its board of directors by majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
or, under certain
3
Table of Contents
circumstances, by independent legal counsel. The Articles of
Incorporation of Centex, Holding and Development provide for indemnification of
its directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law.
In addition, Section 78.037 of the Nevada General Corporation Law permits
Nevada corporations to include in their articles of incorporation a provision eliminating the
personal liability of their directors and officers, to the corporation or
stockholders, for damages resulting from their breach of fiduciary duties. An
amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Centex Corporation was adopted by
its stockholders at the annual meeting held on July 15, 1987 in order to effect
the permitted limitation on liability. The Articles of Incorporation of
Holding and Development contain a similar provision limiting the liability of
their directors and officers for such damages, as do the Bylaws of Centex,
Holding and Development.
The Bylaws of Centex, Holding and Development each provide that the
corporation shall indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents to
the fullest extent provided by the Nevada General Corporation Law 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 has entered into indemnification contracts with its directors and
may enter into similar contracts from time to time with certain officers and
employees of Centex and its subsidiaries who are not directors of Centex. 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, by
reason of their service in the foregoing capacities. The provisions of the
aforementioned indemnification contracts were approved by Centex's stockholders
at the annual meeting of stockholders held on July 16, 1986.
The Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the
"Limited Partnership Agreement") of Centex Development Company, L.P. ("CDC")
provides that to the fullest extent permitted by law, CDC will indemnify the
general partner and its directors, officers, employees and agents and persons
serving on behalf of CDC 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 CDC, 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 his conduct was
unlawful. Any indemnification under these provisions will be limited to the
assets of CDC.
Pursuant to authority granted by the Nevada General Corporation Law and
its respective Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, each of Centex, Holding
and Development, and with respect to CDC, pursuant to the Limited Partnership
Agreement, CDC has purchased directors and officers liability insurance.
The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of
the statute, articles of incorporation, bylaws, agreements and insurance
policies referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference
thereto.

Exhibits
.
The information required by this Item 8 is set forth in the Index to
Exhibits accompanying this Registration Statement.
Item 9.
Undertakings
.
(a)  The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registrant statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (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 statement. 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 Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 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
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(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
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(b)  The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrants' annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
5
Table of Contents
that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement 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.
(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of such registrant 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, such registrant 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
