CUSIP No.    808188 10 6   13D   Page 3 of 4 Pages

        The Reporting Person, by this Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment 1"), hereby amends its Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2001 ("Statement") with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock ("Common Stock") of D.R. Horton, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Statement.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

        Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

        The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Items 2 and 3 of the Statement is hereby incorporated by reference.

        No shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer were purchased directly or indirectly by Reporting Person. Rather, Reporting Person may have been deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock to which the Statement related only in the sense that it and the Horton Stockholders entered into the Voting Agreement with respect to the Subject Shares in order to faciliate the Merger. In a stockholders meeting of Issuer held on February 21, 2002, the Horton Stockholders voted their respective Subject Shares of Common Stock covered by the Voting Agreement in favor of the Merger. On that same day, Reporting Person's stockholders approved the Merger, and Reporting Person and Issuer effected the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, the Merger.

        The Voting Agreement provides that it will terminate on the earlier of (a) the effective time of the Merger, (b) termination of the Merger Agreement according to its terms or (c) the written mutual consent of the parties thereto, and thus, upon the consummation of the Merger on February 21, 2002, the Voting Agreement terminated. As a result, Reporting Person has no beneficial ownership over the Subject Shares of Common Stock to which the Statement related, including the power to vote, to direct the voting of, or to direct the disposition of, any shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

Item 5.    Interest In Securities Of The Issuer.

        Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

        (a)  Reporting Person has no beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock to which the Statement related.

        (b)  Reporting Person has no beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock to which the Statement related. To Reporting Person's knowledge, the Horton Stockholders have the sole power to vote the Subject Shares of Common Stock referred to in the Statement.

        (d)  To Reporting Person's knowledge, only the Horton Stockholders have the right to receive and the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Subject Shares of Common Stock to which the Statement related.

        (e)  February 21, 2002.
