Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

This Amendment No. 55 to Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY INVESTORS, INC., a Nevada corporation (“TCI” or the “Issuer”), and further amends the original Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment Nos. 1 through 54 (the “Amended Statement”), filed by and on behalf of the “Reporting Persons” described below and others who are no longer “Reporting Persons.” The principal executive offices of TCI are located at 1603 LBJ Freeway, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75234. The CUSIP number of the Shares is 893617-20-9.

 

This Amendment No. 55 to Schedule 13D is being filed (i) to reflect the correct number of Shares held by two Reporting Persons, following account confirmations concluded on June 15, 2020, and (ii) to include a new Reporting Person which holds 5,300 Shares. See Items 2 and 5 below.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

Item 2 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended as follows:

 

(a)-(c) This Amendment is being filed on behalf of American Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ARL”), Transcontinental Realty Acquisition Corporation (“TRAC”), EQK Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“EQK”), Realty Advisors, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RAI”), Arcadian Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“AEI”), May Realty Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MRHI”), and Daniel J. Moos, an individual, who is also the President and Chief Executive Officer of ARL, EQK, TCI, TRAC and President of MRHI and RAI (“Moos”). Each of EQK and TRAC is a wholly owned subsidiary of ARL. ARL’s Common Stock is publicly held and listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). RAI (which is wholly owned by MRHI), indirectly through Realty Advisors, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“RALLC”), of which RAI is the sole member, owns approximately 84% of the Common Stock of ARL. All of ARL, TRAC, EQK, RAI, MRHI, AEI and Moos are collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons,” and each has their principal executive offices located at 1603 LBJ Freeway, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75234. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “person” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, as amended, because each of EQK and TRAC is a wholly owned subsidiary of ARL, RAI indirectly owns over 84% of the Common Stock of ARL and 100% of the capital stock of AEI, and Moos is the President and Chief Executive Officer of ARL, TCI, TRAC, EQK, MRHI and RAI.

(e)

Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended to read as follows:

 

TRAC made accommodation pledges for loans to others to Robert Grubin (100,000 Shares) and Scott Kim (100,000 Shares).

 

Of the Shares owned by AEI, 103,169 Shares are subject to an accommodation pledge to ABC Land & Development, Inc. (“ABCLD”) in connection with a loan to RAI, and 169,815 Shares are subject to an accommodation pledge in favor of Sanders Morris Harris in connection with an obligation of another entity.

 

Shares held by ARL are subject to accommodation pledges previously made for loans to others by ABCLD (846,202 Shares), Elizabeth Shillington (161,959 Shares), and Bob Shaw (438,600 Shares).

 

The remaining Shares held by RAI, ARL, EQK and TRAC may be deemed to be “collateral” for borrowings, pursuant to margin or other account arrangements with bankers and brokerage firms relating to brokerage accounts. Such arrangements are standard arrangements involving margin securities of up to a specified percentage of market value of the Shares and other collateral and bear interest at varying rates and contain only standard default and similar provisions, the operation of any of which should not give any other person immediate voting power or investment power over such securities. Such arrangements exist with the Shares and other securities held in such accounts, and it is impracticable at any given time to determine the amounts, if any, with respect to the Shares, and interest costs under such arrangements may vary with applicable costs and account balances.

 

Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs, the Reporting Persons do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guaranties of profits, divisions of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
