SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Teletouch Communications, Inc., Common Stock, $.001 
Par Value; Class A Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants) File No. 
1-13436

May 8, 1998.
    Teletouch Communications, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the above specified securities (``Securities'') from listing 
and registration on the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'' or 
``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Securities 
form listing and registration include the following:
    The Company's Securities have been listed for trading on the BSE 
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A which became effective 
on December 23, 1994. Subsequently, pursuant to a Registration 
Statement on Form 8-A, at the opening of business on April 6, 1998, 
trading in the Securities commenced on the American Stock Exchange, 
Inc. (``Amex'').
    The Company has complied with all rules and requirements of the BSE 
relating to the withdrawal of its Securities from listing and 
registration on the BSE, setting forth in detail to the BSE the reasons 
for and facts supporting such proposed withdrawal. In making the 
decision to withdraw its Securities from listing and registration on 
the BSE, the Company considered the direct and indirect costs and 
expenses attendant on maintaining the dual listing of its Securities on 
the Amex and the BSE. The Company does not see any particular advantage 
in the dual trading of its Securities and believes that dual listing 
would fragment the market for its Securities.
    By letter dated April 24, 1998, from the Company's counsel to the 
BSE, the Company set forth its reasons for seeking withdrawal 
therefrom. By letter dated April 24, 1998, the BSE informed the Company 
that it has no objection to the withdrawal of the Company's Securities 
from listing and registration on the BSE.
    By reason of Section 12(b) of the Act and the rules and regulations 
thereunder, the company shall continue to be obligated to file reports 
under Section 13 of the Act with the Commission and the Amex.
    Any interested person may, on or before May 29, 1998, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
Exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
