Item 5.02(b)
     On May 19, 2008, Juan L. Elek informed the Board of Directors of Centex Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), that he will retire and not stand for re-election to the Company’s Board of Directors when his term expires at the beginning of the Company’s 2008 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on July 10, 2008 (the “Annual Meeting”). Mr. Elek will continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors until the Annual Meeting. Mr. Elek’s decision to retire and not to stand for re-election was for personal reasons and was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. In connection with Mr. Elek’s decision to retire and not to stand for re-election, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved a reduction in the size of the Board from 11 persons to 10 persons effective as of the beginning of the Annual Meeting.
