                            EXPLANATORY  STATEMENT

A total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of Texas Instruments Incorporated
("the Company") were registered by Registration Statement on Form S-8, File No.
333-31319, to be issued in connection with the TI Employees 1997 Stock Purchase
Plan (the "1997 Plan"). On September 18, 1997, July 15, 1999 and April 20, 2000,
the Registrant announced two-for-one stock splits (the "Stock Splits"). Pursuant
to its terms, the number of shares available for issuance under the 1997 Plan
were adjusted to reflect the Stock Splits. On April 18, 2002, the stockholders
of the Company approved the TI Employees 2002 Stock Purchase Plan (the "2002
Plan"), which replaces the 1997 Plan. Both the 1997 Plan and the 2002 Plan are
intended to qualify as "employee stock purchase plans" under Section 423 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 20,830,702 shares
of common stock of the Company which were registered in connection with the 1997
Plan have not been issued under the 1997 Plan and, pursuant to Instruction E to
Form S-8 and the telephonic interpretation of the Securities and Exchange
Commission set forth at pages 137-38 of the Division of Corporation Finance's
Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations (January 1997),
20,000,000 of these shares are carried forward to, and deemed covered by, the
Registration Statement of Form S-8 filed on or about the date hereof in
connection with the 2002 Plan.

                                    PART II

                                  SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this post effective
Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Dallas and State of
Texas, on the 28th day of February, 2003.
