Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 (a)           On April 22, 2013, Texas Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new employment agreement with Mel G. Brekhus, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which will become effective on June 1, 2013 after the expiration of his existing employment agreement on May 31, 2013.  The new employment agreement will expire on May 31, 2016, and provides for a base annual salary of $700,000.Mr. Brekhus will also participate in the Company’s annual and three-year incentive compensation plans adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors for employees and key executives, as well as the equity participation plans. The Board may increase Mr. Brekhus’ compensation from time to time in the event the Board shall deem it advisable to do so in order to fully compensate him for his services.  If Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), would limit the Company’s deduction of any portion of Mr. Brekhus’ base annual compensation and incentive compensation if it were paid to him, then payment of the nondeductible portion of any incentive compensation shall be deferred by the Company until the deductibility is not limited.  The Company shall defer such payment only if and to the extent that such deferral and payment will comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations and guidance thereunder. Mr. Brekhus is subject to a covenant not to compete for two years after the termination of his employment.  However, if Mr. Brekhus’ employment is terminated following a change in control of the Company, Mr. Brekhus will not be subject to the non-competition provisions contained in his employment agreement or his executive financial security plan.

A copy of the new employment agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
