each  case  (whether  for  a LIBOR Rate Advance or a Prime Rate Advance) for the

per  annum,  equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (a) the
LIBOR  Rate  for  such  Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Advance from (b) the

the  Borrower  and  the  Banks,  whereupon;

shall  notify  the  Agent  that  the  introduction of or any change in or in the

or  other  governmental  authority  asserts that it is unlawful, for any Bank to
perform  its  obligations  hereunder  to  make LIBOR Rate Advances or to fund or
maintain LIBOR Rate Advances hereunder, (i) the obligation of such Bank to make,

suspension  no longer exist and (ii) the Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full
all  LIBOR  Rate  Advances  of  such  affected Bank then outstanding, unless the
Borrower,  within  two  (2) Business Days of notice from the Agent, converts all

Pro  Rata  Percentage of such prepayment. Upon the date on which a prepayment is

franchise  taxes,  withholding  taxes,  severance  taxes,  excise  taxes  and
manufacturing  taxes)  and  assessments,  and  all  claims  and  charges  of any
Governmental Authority or any other Person levied or imposed, or which if unpaid
might  become  a  Lien  or  charge,  upon  the  franchises,  assets, earnings or
businesses  of  the  Borrower  or  any  of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.04 shall require the
Borrower  or  any of its Subsidiaries to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or
claim  so  long  as  the  validity  thereof  shall be contested in good faith by
appropriate  proceedings and the Borrower or any such Subsidiary shall set aside
on  its  books  adequate  reserves  with  respect  thereto  if required by GAAP.
SECTION  VI.5. Rights of Inspection. From time to time upon reasonable notice to
               --------------------
the  Borrower,  the Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, permit any
officer,  or employee of, or agent designated by, the Agent or any Bank to visit

owned  by  the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately cause such Subsidiary to
provide  to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks a guaranty of the obligations
of  the Borrower under this Agreement which shall be in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit 1.01-A; provided that, it shall not constitute a Default hereunder if
   --------------
such  new  Subsidiary  does  not  provide such Guaranty Agreement until the date

a  guaranty  to be executed by Bell Plaza for the period from the Effective Date

agreed  and  understood  that  the obligation of the Borrower under this Section
6.06 to cause any such Subsidiary to provide to the Agent for the benefit of the
Banks a guaranty is a condition precedent to the making of the Advances pursuant
to  this  Agreement  and  that  the  entry  into  this  Agreement  by  the Banks
constitutes  good and adequate consideration for the provision of such guaranty.
SECTION VI.7. Compliance with Law. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its
              -------------------
Subsidiaries  to,  comply  in  all  material  respects  with  all  laws,  rules,

extent  it was unable to provide certificates required under Section 4.01(e) and
Section  4.01(f)  on  or before the Closing Date for any Subsidiary, after using
its  best efforts to obtain the same, all such certificates shall be provided to
the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day after
the  Closing  Date.

behalf  of  the  Borrower  or  for  otherwise  acting  in  good  faith.

shall  give  each  Bank  prompt  notice of each such nonpayment); provided that,

shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interest
of  the  Banks.

such  Bank's  required  repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing  Bank)  of  any  interest  or  other  amount  paid  or payable by the
purchasing  Bank  in  respect  of  the  total  amount  so  recovered.

     SECTION  X.7. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it
                   --------------
shall  have  been  executed  by  the  Borrower,  the  Agent and the Banks (and a
counterpart  original has been delivered to the Agent, for itself and each Bank,

after  giving  effect  to  such  assignment,  the Commitment of BOA would not be
reduced  to  less  than  $25,000,000,  (ii) each assignment made hereunder shall

together  with  any  Note  subject  to  such  assignment.  Upon  such execution,
delivery,  acceptance,  and  recordation  by  the  Agent  of such Assignment and
Acceptance,  from  and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance,  which effective date shall be the date on which such Assignment and
Acceptance  is  accepted  by  the  Agent, (A) the Assignee thereunder shall be a
party  hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned  to  it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations  of  a  Bank  under  the  Loan  Documents, and (B) the Bank assignor
thereunder  shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights
and  be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and, in the case
of  an  Assignment  and  Acceptance  covering all or the remaining portion of an
assigning  Bank's  rights  and  obligations  under the Loan Documents, such Bank
shall  cease  to  be  a  party  thereto).

<PAGE>
     (b     By  executing  and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Bank
assignor  thereunder  and  the Assignee confirm to and agree with each other and
the  other  parties  hereto  as  follows:  (i)  other  than  as provided in such
Assignment  and  Acceptance,  such  assigning  Bank  makes  no representation or
warranty  and  assumes  no  responsibility  with  respect  to  any  statements,
warranties,  or  representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document
or  the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency,

Borrower  or any other Subsidiary of any of its respective obligations under any
Loan  Document  or  any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;
(iii)  such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of the Loan Documents,
together with copies of the Financial Statements referred to in Section 5.02 and
                                                                ------------
Section  6.01,  and  such  other  documents  and  information  as  it has deemed
-------------
appropriate  to  make  its  own  credit analysis and decision to enter into such
--------
Assignment  and  Acceptance;  (iv)  such  Assignee,  independently  and  without
----
reliance  upon  the  Agent  such  assigning  Bank, or any Bank and based on such
----
documents  and  information  as  it  shall  deem  appropriate  at the time, will
----
continue  to  make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
----
this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such

powers  as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that
it  will  perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by
the  terms  of  any  Loan Document are required to be performed by it as a Bank.
(c     The  Agent  shall  maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 a
                                                                 -------------
copy  of  each  Assignment  and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a
register  for  the  recordation  of the names and addresses of the Banks and the
Commitment  of,  and principal amount of the Borrowings owing to, each Bank from
time  to  time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
                     --------
and  binding  for  all  purposes,  absent  manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Agent,  and  the  Banks  may  treat  each  Person  whose name is recorded in the
Register  as  a  Bank  hereunder  for  all  purposes  of the Loan Documents. The
Register  shall  be  available for inspection by the Borrower or any Bank at any
reasonable  time  and  from  time  to  time  upon  reasonable  prior  notice.
(d     Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning

Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and otherwise complies with Section
10.08(a),  shall  (i)  accept  such  Assignment  and Acceptance; (ii) record the

Acceptance  and,  if  the assigning Bank has retained Commitments hereunder, new
Notes  to  the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Commitments
retained  by  it  hereunder.  The  new  Notes shall be in an aggregate principal
amount  equal  to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall
be  dated  the  effective  date  of  such  Assignment  and  Acceptance and shall
otherwise  be  in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.02(c). Upon receipt by the
                                            ---------------
Agent  of  each  such  new  Note conforming to the requirements set forth in the
preceding  sentences,  the  Agent  shall  return  to  the  Borrower  each  such
surrendered  Note  marked  to  show  that  each  such  surrendered Note has been
replaced,  renewed,  and  extended  by  such  new  Note.
(e     Each  Bank  may sell participations to one or more financial institutions
in  or  to  all  or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including,  without  limitation,  all  or  a portion of its Commitments and the
Notes  held by it), and no such sale of a participation shall reduce such Bank's
obligations  to  the  Borrower  hereunder.

<PAGE>
     SECTION  X.9. Limitation on Agreements.  (a)     All agreements between the
                   ------------------------
Borrower,  the Agent, or any Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising and
whether  written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency
or  event  whatsoever,  whether  by reason of demand being made in respect of an
amount  due  under  any  Loan  Document  or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or
agreed  to  be  paid,  to  the  Agent  or  any Bank for the use, forbearance, or
detention of the money to be loaned under this Agreement, the Notes or any other
Loan  Document or otherwise or for the payment or performance of any covenant or
obligation  contained  herein  or  in any other Loan Document exceed the Highest
Lawful  Rate.  If, as a result of any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of or
compliance  with  any  provision  hereof or of any of such documents at the time
performance  of  such provision shall be due or at, any other time shall involve
exceeding the amount permitted to be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or
received  by the Agent or any Bank under applicable usury law, then, ipso facto,
                                                                     ---- -----
the  obligation  to  be fulfilled or complied with shall be reduced to the limit
prescribed by such applicable usury law, and if, from any such circumstance, the
Agent  or any Bank shall ever receive interest or anything which might be deemed
interest  under  applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such
amount  which  would  be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of
the  principal  amount owing on account of such Bank's Note or the amounts owing
on  other  obligations  of  the Borrower to the Agent or any Bank under any Loan
Document  and  not  to  the  payment of interest, or if such excessive, interest
exceeds  the unpaid principal balance of any Note and the amounts owing on other
obligations of the Borrower to the Agent or any Bank under any Loan Document, as
the case may be, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or
agreed  to  be  paid  to  the  Agent  or  any  Bank for the use, forbearance, or
detention of the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Agent or any Bank shall, to
the  extent  permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and
spread  throughout  the  full term of such indebtedness until payment in full of
the principal (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that
the interest on account of such indebtedness shall not exceed the Highest Lawful
Rate.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document,
it  is  understood  and  agreed  that  if at any time the rate of interest which
accrues  on  the  outstanding  principal  balance  of  any Note shall exceed the
Highest  Lawful  Rate,  the  rate  of  interest which accrues on the outstanding
principal  balance  of any Note shall be limited to the Highest Lawful Rate, but
any  subsequent  reductions  in  the  rate  of  interest  which  accrues  on the
outstanding  principal balance of any Note shall not reduce the rate of interest
which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of any Note below the Highest
Lawful  Rate  until  the  total  amount  of  interest accrued on the outstanding
principal  balance  of  any  Note equals the amount of interest which would have
accrued  if  such  interest  rate had at all times been in effect. The terms and
provisions  of  this  Section  10.09  shall  control  and  supersede every other
                      --------------
provision  of  all  Loan  Documents.
  (b   The  Banks  and  the  Borrower agree that (i) if Chapter 303 of the Texas
Finance  Code,  as  amended,  is  applicable to the determination of the Highest
Lawful  Rate,  the weekly ceiling computed from time to time pursuant to Section
(a)  of such Article shall apply, provided that, to the extent permitted by such
                                  --------
Article,  the  Agent  may from time to time by notice to the Borrower revise the
election  of such interest rate ceiling as such ceiling affects the then current
or  future  balances  of the Advances; and (ii) the provisions of Chapter 346 of
the  Texas  Finance  Code,  as amended, shall not apply to this Agreement or any
Note.
SECTION  X.10. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained
               ------------
in  any  Loan  Document  to  which  the Borrower is a party or in any instrument
contemplated  thereby, or any application thereof, shall be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable  in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained therein, and any other application thereof, shall
not  in  any way be affected or impaired thereby. Each covenant contained in any
Loan  Document  to  which  the Borrower is a party shall be construed (absent an
express  contrary  provision herein) as being independent of each other covenant
contained  therein,  and compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such
an  express  contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with one or more
other  covenants.

<PAGE>
     SECTION X.11. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed
                   -------------
by,  and  construed  in  accordance  with,  the  laws  of  the  State  of Texas.
SECTION  X.12. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND
               -----------------------------------
UNCONDITIONALLY:

SECTION  10.02 HEREOF OR TO SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO
SHALL  HAVE  BEEN NOTIFIED IN WRITING BY THE BORROWER PURSUANT TO SECTION 10.02.
SECTION  X.13.  Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
                -------------------------
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each  of  which  when  so  executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of
which  taken  together  shall  constitute  one  and  the  same  agreement.
SECTION  X.14.  Liability of Borrower. With respect to the incurrence of certain
                ---------------------
liabilities  hereunder  and  the making of certain agreements by the Borrower as
herein  stated,  such  incurrence  of  liabilities  and such agreements shall be
binding  upon  the  Borrower  only as a trust formed under the Texas Real Estate
Investment  Trust  Act  pursuant  to  that certain Restated Declaration of Trust
dated  March  23,  1988  (as it is amended from time to time), and only upon the
assets of such Borrower. No Trust Manager or officer or holder of any beneficial
interest  in  the  Borrower shall have any personal liability for the payment of
any  indebtedness or other liabilities incurred by the Borrower hereunder or for
the  performance  of  any agreements made by the Borrower hereunder, nor for any
other act, omission or obligation incurred by the Borrower or the Trust Managers
except,  in  the  case  of  a  Trust Manager, any liability arising from his own
willful  misfeasance  or  malfeasance  or  gross  negligence.

     SECTION  X.15.  FINAL  AGREEMENT. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, THE GUARANTY, AND
                     ----------------

Weingarten  Realty  Investors
2600  Citadel  Plaza  Drive
Houston,  Texas  77018
Attention:  Bill  Robertson

Re:     First  Amendment  to Credit Agreement dated as of February __, 2000 (the
"Amendment")  by  and  between  Weingarten Realty Investors, a Texas real estate
investment  trust  ("Borrower"),  and  Bank of America, N.A., a national banking
association  in  its  capacities  as  agent  and  a  bank  ("Bank  of  America")

Gentlemen:

     This  letter  is  delivered to you in connection with the Amendment. Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in
the  Loan  Agreement  and  in  the  Amendment.  In  connection  with,  and  in
consideration of the agreements contained in the Amendment, Borrower agrees with
Agent  as  follows:

Administrative  Fee.  On  the  first  day  of  the  Renewal  Period,  and on the
-------------------
anniversary  of such date each year during the Renewal Period, Borrower will pay
--------
an  administrative fee in the amount of $75,000 to Agent for its own account for
administrating  the  Loan  during  the  following  twelve  (12)  month  period.

Renewal  Fee.  On  the  first  day  of the Renewal Period, Borrower shall pay to
------------
Agent  a  renewal  fee in an amount equal to  50 bps on the entire commitment of
----
the  Banks  under  the  Revolving  Loan on such date.  Borrower acknowledges and
--
agrees  that  the  renewal  fee is a bona fide commitment fee and is intended as
--
reasonable  compensation  to  Banks  for  committing  to make funds available to
--
Borrower  and  for  no  other  purpose.  Agent shall be entitled to allocate the
--
Renewal  Fee  among  the  Banks  as  Agent  considers  appropriate  in  its sole
--
discretion,  but  without  prejudice  to  Borrower=s  refund  rights hereinafter
--
specified.
--

     Subject  to Borrower=s rights hereinafter specified, the fees payable above
shall be fully-earned upon becoming due and payable, shall be non-refundable for
any reason whatsoever and shall be in addition to any other fee, cost or expense
payable  pursuant  to  the  Loan  Agreement.

     Borrower  acknowledges that Bank of America desires that it be able to sell
down  the  Revolving  Loan  during  the  Renewal  Period  to  the  lesser of (a)
$35,000,000,  or  (b)  35% of  Bank of America=s current commitment (the "Target
                                                                          ------
Hold Position").  Therefor, Borrower agrees that it shall consider actions which
  -----------
are  reasonably  requested by Bank of America in order to enable Bank of America
to  sell  down the Revolving Loan to the Target Hold Position, including but not
limited to, modifying the Loan Documents to increase  the price spread, increase
the  renewal fee, revise financial covenants or make other structural changes to
the  Loan  Documents.

     If  Borrower  notifies  Bank  of  America  that Borrower elects the Renewal
Option (the date of such notice being called the "Notice Date"), Bank of America
will  endeavor to notify Borrower within fifteen (15) days after the Notice Date
of  what  changes  (the  "Anticipated  Changes"), if any, need to be made to the
price  spread,  or  any  other  part of the Revolving Loan, in order for Bank of
America  to  reach the Target Hold Position.  Borrower shall then have seven (7)
days  to  elect by notice in writing to Bank of America to either (a) accept the
proposed  modifications to the Revolving Loan, or (b) pay off the Revolving Loan
in  full  within sixty (60) days after expiration of the aforesaid seven (7) day
period.

     If  Borrower  accepts  the  Anticipated  Changes,  but, thereafter, Bank of
America determines that changes to the Anticipated Changes or other changes (the
"Actual  Changes")  are  necessary to enable Bank of America to reach the Target
Hold  Position,  Bank  of  America  shall give written notice to Borrower of the
Actual  Changes  and  Borrower shall have another seven (7) day period to either
accept (a) the Actual Changes or (b) elects to pay off the Revolving Loan within
sixty  (60)  days  after  expiration  of  the  aforesaid  seven  (7) day period:

     (x)     because the all-in pricing, including, without limitation, interest
rate,  price  spread  and fees, suggested by Bank of America in order to achieve
the Target Hold Position is such that Borrower would be required to pay interest
(including  fees) at a rate greater than the highest applicable interest rate in
effect  under  this  credit  facility (as amended by the Amendment) or under any
other  senior  credit facility of Borrower (but limited to bank revolving credit
facilities)  then  outstanding  or which was outstanding during the twelve month
period  prior  to  the  Renewal  Period  (herein collectively referred to as the
"Existing  Senior  Facilities"),  or

     (y)     because  the  revisions  to  the  financial  covenants or the other
structural  changes  to the Loan Documents suggested by Bank of America in order
to  achieve  the  Target  Hold  Position  are such that the proposed new loan is
materially  less  favorable  than  any  of  the  Existing  Senior  Facilities.

For  purposes of comparing the highest applicable interest rate in effect on any
of  the Existing Senior Facilities with that under the loan suggested by Bank of
America, all fees shall be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout
the  term  of  the  Indebtedness.

<PAGE>
     If  (i)  Bank of America notifies Borrower in writing of the Actual Changes
to  the Revolving Loan, and (ii) Borrower elects, for one or more of the reasons
specified  in  (x)  and  (y) above, to pay off the Revolving Loan in full within
sixty  (60)  days, then the Administrative Fee and Renewal Fee shall be refunded
at the time the Loan is completely paid off  in the following manner: The refund
of  the  Administrative  Fee  shall  be  equal to the Administrative Fee paid by
Borrower  multiplied  by  the  quotient of (a) the number of days of the Renewal
Period  which have not lapsed prior to Borrower=s paying off the Revolving Loan,
divided  by  (b) three hundred sixty-five (365).   The refund of the Renewal Fee
shall be equal to the Renewal Fee paid by Borrower multiplied by the quotient of
(i)  the  number  of  days  of the Renewal Period which have not lapsed prior to
Borrower=s  paying  off  the Revolving Loan, divided by (b) seven hundred thirty
(730).

     If  the  foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please execute
and  return  this  letter  to  us.

Very  truly  yours,

BANK  OF  AMERICA,  N.A.,
as  Agent  and  a  Bank
