ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

         This Amendment No. 4 to Statement on Schedule 13D (this "Amendment No.
4") relates to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares")
of American Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Issuer" or
"ARL"), and further amends the original Statement on Schedule 13D as amended by
Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3 thereto (the "Amended Statement") previously filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by the "Reporting
Persons" described below. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are
located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75234. The CUSIP
number of the Shares is 029174-10-9.

         This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D is being filed due to transfers
among related parties of a block of 1,437,208 Shares at the same cost basis and
a decrease by more than one percent (1%) in the percentage ownership by Basic
Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM") of Shares during the period from May 1, 2003
through September 30, 2003, as a result in the transfer as a block of 1,437,208
Shares.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         This Amendment No. 4 is filed on behalf of Basic Capital Management,
Inc., a Nevada corporation ("BCM"), the Gene E. Phillips Children's Trust, a
trust formed under the laws of the state of Texas (the "GEP Trust"),
Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("TCI"), Realty
Advisors, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("RAI") and Prime Income Asset Management,
Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Prime"), each of which has its principal executive
offices located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75234. All of
BCM, GEP Trust, TCI, RAI and Prime are collectively referred to as the
"Reporting Persons." The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a
"person" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, because BCM is owned by RAI which is beneficially owned by a
trust established for the benefit of Gene E. Phillips' children. RAI also owns
79% of the voting equity securities of Prime. The executive officers of TCI are
also executive officers of BCM and Prime. Mr. Phillips' son, Ryan T. Phillips,
serves as a director of BCM, Prime and RAI and is a beneficiary of the GEP
Trust. The executive officers of ARL are also executive officers of BCM, Prime
and TCI. Prime Income Asset Management, LLC, a Nevada corporation ("PIAMLLC"),
the sole member of which is Prime, also serves as the contractual advisor to ARL
and TCI.

         Item 2 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended as follows:

         IV. RAI is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Nevada. RAI is principally a holding company which owns interests in
other entities which are engaged in the investment in real estate, mortgages and
related real estate activities. The name, business address and capacity with ARI
of each of the executive officers or directors of RAI are set forth on Schedule
3 attached hereto. Each of the individuals listed on Schedule 3 is a citizen of

specific Shares and interest costs vary with applicable costs and account
balances.

         (c) During the sixty calendar days ended May 1, 2003, except for the
transactions that are described below, the Reporting Persons and their
respective executive officers and directors did not engage in any transaction of
the Shares or any other equity interests derivative thereof. During the period

30, 2003, BCM acquired a net amount of 300 Shares in 2 open market transactions
at prices ranging from $12.86 to $12.91 per Share. Such purchases increased
BCM's ownership of Shares to 8,104,253 Shares prior to the dividend by BCM of
1,437,208 Shares as of September 30, 2003. During the sixty calendar days ended
September 30, 2003, none of the Reporting Persons effected any transaction in

Corporation ceased to own any Shares of Common Stock of ARL, and the then

BCM declared a dividend to RAI as the holder of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of voting equity securities of BCM in an amount of
$15,234,404.80, which dividend was paid by the distribution from BCM to RAI of
1,437,208 Shares of ARL Common Stock at a transferee- basis of $10.60 per share.

$15,234,404.80 by the transfer and delivery of the 1,437,208 Shares of Common
Stock of ARL at a transferee-basis of $10.60 per Share. After giving effect to
the dividend and contribution to capital, Prime became the owner of 1,437,208
Shares of Common Stock of ARL at a cost basis of $10.60 per Share, and the
number of Shares of Common Stock of ARL owned by BCM decreased by 1,437,208
Shares.

Board of Directors or Trustees is known to have the right to receive or the

margin securities of up to a specified percentage of the market value of the
Shares, as well as other securities in such account, bear interest at varying
rates and contain only standard default and similar provisions, the operation of
which should not give any other person immediate voting power or investment
power over the Shares.

         Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs, the Reporting Persons
do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal
or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer,
including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities,
finders' fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls,
guaranties of profits, divisions of profits, divisions of profits or loss, or
the giving or withholding of proxies.
