Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On July 18, 2005,  GMAC  Commercial  Mortgage Bank ("GMAC") funded four (4)
loans to special  purpose  subsidiaries  of Capital  Senior  Living  Corporation
("Company") which refinanced loans on four (4) senior housing  properties of the
Company.  The aggregate amount of the GMAC loans was $39,150,000 and these loans
refinanced loans on the same 4 properties previously financed by an affiliate of
GMAC that had an outstanding balance of approximately $34,000,000.

     The loans  from GMAC  financing  the 4  properties  each have a term of ten
years.  The loans each bear  interest  at a fixed  rate of 5.46% per annum.  The
loans are payable  monthly,  with payments  consisting of interest and principal
based on a 25-year amortization  schedule. The loans are secured by mortgages or
deeds of trust on the properties,  assignments of leases and contracts and other
related  collateral,  and each loan is cross defaulted and cross  collateralized
with the other GMAC loans in this loan facility.  The loans are  nonrecourse but
with typical recourse  exceptions,  which recourse  exceptions are guaranteed by
another Company  subsidiary.  The loans provide for typical reserve accounts and
require  compliance  with typical  representations  and  warranties and on-going
covenants,  including a net worth requirement of the guarantor subsidiary.  Each
property  securing  the loans can be released  from the lien of the  mortgage or
deed of trust on that property  after a maximum  three (3) year lock-out  period
provided that various defeasance requirements are satisfied.
