Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 54 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 53 (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. 54 to
Schedule 13D is being filed (i) to reflect the correct number of Shares held by one Reporting Person, following account confirmations
concluded on August 23, 2018, (ii) to include that a new Reporting Person, which holds 272,184 Shares, and was acquired by managers
by another Reporting Person and (iii) to include as a new Reporting Person a holding company which owns a Reporting Person. 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
”), 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, TCI and TRAC and President of
MRHI and RAI (“
Moos
”). 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, 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 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, MRHI and RAI.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Amended Statement
is hereby further amended as follows:
(a) According
to the latest information available from the Issuer, as of June 30, 2018, the total number of issued and outstanding Shares was
believed by the Reporting Persons to be 8,717,767. As of August 23, 2018, after giving effect to the matter described in Item 5(c)
below, the following Shares were owned directly and beneficially by the Reporting Persons set forth below:

Daniel
J. Moos, individually, owns 290,000 Shares, which are included in the table.
(b) Each
of the directors of ARL (Messrs. Butler, Jakuszewski, Munselle and Roberts) shares voting and dispositive power over the 5,384,192
Shares beneficially owned by ARL; each of the directors of TRAC (Messrs. Bertcher and Moos) shares voting and dispositive power
over the 1,383,226 Shares held by TRAC; each of the directors of RAI (Mickey Ned Phillips) has voting and dispositive power over
336,000 Shares held by RAI and 272,984 Shares held by AEI; and each of the current members of the respective Boards of Directors
of ARL, TRAC and RAI disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares owned by the respective entities.
(c) During
the 60 calendar days ended August 23, 2018, the Reporting Persons and their executive officers and directors, as the case may be,
did not engage in any transaction in the Shares or any other equity interest derivative thereof, except as follows:
• During
June 2018, a complete review was made of all brokerage accounts held by the Reporting Persons to reconcile all Shares held. Also,
the original Arcadian Energy, Inc. merged with and into RAI Acquisitions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of RAI, on December 21,
2017, which then changed its name to Arcadian Energy, Inc.. The original Arcadian Energy, Inc. held 272,984 Shares for more than
two years.
(d) No
person, other than the Reporting Persons or their respective Boards of Directors, is known to have the right to receive or the
power to direct receipt of dividends from, or proceeds of sale of, the Shares of TCI Common Stock held by ARL, AEI, RAI, TRAC or
Moos.
(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 First NBC Bank (655,000 Shares), Robert Grubin (100,000 Shares) and Scott Kim (100,000 Shares).
Shares held by
ARL are subject to accommodation pledges previously made for loans to others to Consolidated National Corporation (438,600 Shares),
Elizabeth Shillington (161,959 Shares), Shaw (438,600 Shares) and First NBC Bank (640,000 Shares and 1,350,000 Shares).
The remaining
Shares held by ARL 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.
Shares held by
RAI are subject to accommodation pledges for loans to others to First NBC Bank (50,000 Shares), Sanders Morris Hill (280,816 Shares)
and AEI to Sanders Morris Hill (272,184 Shares).
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.
SIGNATURES
After reasonable
inquiry and to the best of their respective knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in This
Amendment No. 54 to Statement on Schedule 13D is true, complete, and correct.
