The board of directors of Texas Instruments Incorporated (the Company or TI)
is requesting your proxy for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the Annual
Meeting) on April 20, 1995. By executing and returning the enclosed proxy

your shares in connection with the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual
Meeting.
If you attend the meeting, you may of course vote in person. But if you are
not present, your shares can be voted only if you have returned a properly
executed proxy. If a proxy in the accompanying form is duly executed and
returned, the shares represented thereby will be voted as specified therein,
and if no specification is made, the shares will be voted in accordance with
the recommendations of the board of directors. You may revoke the proxy at
any time before it is exercised.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting to hold office until the

have been designated by the board of directors: JAMES R. ADAMS, DAVID L.
BOREN, JAMES B. BUSEY IV, GERALD W. FRONTERHOUSE, JERRY R. JUNKINS, WILLIAM S.

the present board of directors or the number of directors will be reduced
accordingly.

Directors Compensation
Directors who are not employees are annually paid a retainer of $40,000, a fee
of $7,500 for each committee on which they serve, $2,500 for service as a
committee chair, $2,500 for attendance at the Company's strategic planning
conference, and $2,500 for attendance at the Company's annual planning
conference. Compensation for other designated activities, such as visits to TI
facilities and attendance at certain company events, is provided at the rate
of $1,000 per day. In 1994, the Company made payments (an aggregate of
$11,942)relating to premiums for life, medical, dental, travel and accident
insurance policies covering directors. Subject to certain limitations,
directors may elect that all or part of their fees be deferred until
retirement from the board or other specified times. Deferred fees earn
interest from the Company at a rate (currently based on published interest
rates on certain corporate bonds) determined from time to time by the board.
The Company maintains a directors retirement plan under which directors who
have not at any time been entitled to receive benefits under a pension plan
maintained by the Company will, upon retirement from the board, death, or
disability, after at least five years of service as a director, be entitled to
receive benefits. The benefits will be payable for life, or if greater, the
number of years served as a director, and will be in an annual amount equal to
75% of the annual retainer payable to directors for the year in which the
director retires, dies, or becomes disabled. Individuals who were directors on
February 18, 1994 will receive a reduced benefit equal to 60% of the annual
retainer payable to directors for the year in which they retire unless they
elected to forego life, medical, dental and accident insurance provided by the
Company. Directors may elect to receive the retirement benefit in the form of
a lump sum payment in lieu of periodic payments.
Each director who has completed five years of service as a member of the board
of directors, and whose board membership terminates as a result of
ineligibility for reelection after the attainment of a specified age or, in
the case of non-employee directors, as a result of death or disability, will
be eligible to participate in a Director Award Program. The program was
established to promote the Company's interest in supporting educational
institutions. The Company may contribute a total of $500,000 with respect to
each eligible director to up to three eligible educational institutions (or
other charitable institutions approved by the Board Organization and
Nominating Committee) recommended by the director and approved by the Company.
The contributions will be made in five annual installments of $100,000 each,
commencing as soon as practicable following the director's death. Directors
derive no financial benefit from the program and all charitable deductions
will accrue solely to the Company.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

[FN]
(1) These nonqualified options may become exercisable on a graduated basis
beginning after one year if specified earnings per share levels are attained.
These options are fully exercisable during the ninth and tenth year without
regard to earnings per share and also may become fully exercisable in the
event of a change in control (as defined in the options) of the Company.
Currently, the exercise price may be paid by delivery of already-owned shares
and tax withholding obligations related to exercise may be paid in shares,
subject to certain conditions.
(2) The price of TI common stock at the end of the 10-year term of the stock
options granted at a 5% annual appreciation would be $115.04 and at a 10% annual

number of all the outstanding shares of common stock on January 27, 1994, the
grant date of the options.
(4) The data presented for all employees represents the gain employees would
realize through the appreciation of the stock price of TI stock held in TI
profit sharing plans from the date of grant of the stock options listed above,
assuming 5% and 10% annual appreciation over the 10-year option term.

(1) Calculated by dividing (a) the average annual eligible earnings during the
five consecutive years of highest earnings prior to 1994 multiplied by the total
years of credited service prior to 1994, plus 1994 eligible earnings, by (b) the
total years of credited service.
At December 31, 1994, the named executive officers were credited with the following
years of credited service and had the following average credited earnings,
respectively, under the U.S. pension plan: Mr. Junkins, 36 years, $891,922; Mr.
Mitchell, 33 years, $461,520; Mr. Weber, 33 years, $501,118; Mr. Engibous, 17 years,
$267,178; and Mr. Hayes, 27 years, $340,928.
(2) If the amount otherwise payable under the pension plan should be restricted
by the applicable provisions of the ERISA, the amount in excess of the Act's
restrictions will be paid by the Company.
(3) The benefits under the plan are computed as single life annuity at age 65.
The amounts shown in the table reflect the offset provided in the pension plan under
the pension formula adopted July 1, 1989 to comply with social security integration
requirements. The integration offset is $2,735 for 15 years of credited service,
$3,647 for 20 years of credited service, $4,559 for 25 years of credited service,
$5,470 for 30 years of credited service, $6,382 for 35 years of credited service,
$6,382 for 40 years of credited service and $6,382 for 45 years of credited service.
Early Retirement Agreements
The Company has a policy providing for optional early retirement agreements
for the chairman of the board, the president and such other personnel as the
board of directors may designate, upon attainment of age 58 and such minimum
lengths of service as the board may specify. Participants enter into early
retirement agreements with the Company which among other things prohibit
competition with the Company until the attaintment of age 69. Payments under
the agreements are based on the difference between the retirement benefits the
individual is to receive from the Company's U.S. pension plan and the retirement
benefits the individual would have received from the pension plan had the
individual remained in employment with the Company until the attainment of
age 65 at a rate of compensation equal to the average annual eligible earnings
(as defined in the pension plan) received during the three years immediately
preceding early retirement. The individual may elect payment under the early
retirement agreement in the form of monthly payments for life, monthly payments
to the individual or the individual's estate or survivors until the date of
the individual's 69th birthday, or a 50% joint and survivor's payment.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee of the board of directors has furnished the following
report on executive compensation paid or awarded to executive officers for 1994:
The executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee
of the board of directors (the Committee), which is composed of the individuals
listed below, all of whom are independent directors of the corporation. The
program consists of base salaries, annual incentive awards and long-term
compensation. At higher management levels, the mix of compensation is
weighted more to the performance-based components--annual incentive and long-
term compensation.
In determining the compensation of the executive officers, the Committee
considered guidelines developed for each component of compensation. As
indicated below, the guidelines took account of compensation practices of
competitor companies (as reported in various surveys administered by national
compensation consulting firms) and the relative performance of TI and
competitor companies. The competitor companies are primarily major high-
technology competitors in one or more of the markets - semiconductor, defense
and information technology - in which the Company operates. While many of
these companies are included in the S&P High-Technology Composite Index
appearing in the graph regarding total shareholder return on page 17, these
companies are not the same as the companies comprising that index. Each
guideline was set including the best available data from as many competitor
companies as practicable. The Committee also considered the performance of
the executive officers toward the Company's prior year and long-term strategic
objectives; in this connection, the CEO made recommendations regarding the
components of each executive's compensation package except his own.
In its considerations, the Committee did not assign quantitative relative
weights to different factors or follow mathematical formulae. Rather, the
Committee exercised its discretion and made a judgment after considering the
factors it deemed relevant. The Committee's decisions regarding 1994
executive compensation were designed to:
(1) align the interests of executives with the interests of the stockholders by
providing performance-based awards; and (2) allow the Company to compete for and
retain executives critical to the Company's success by providing an
opportunity for compensation that is comparable to the levels offered by
other companies in our markets.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code denies a deduction to any
publicly held corporation for compensation paid to a "covered employee" in a
taxable year to the extent that the employee's compensation exceeds $1
million. In December 1993, the Internal Revenue Service published proposed
regulations governing the $1 million deductibility cap. Pursuant to those
proposed regulations, the Company's "covered employees" will be those who, at
the end of the year, are the chief executive officer and the four other
highest compensated officers of the Company as determined under the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission governing executive compensation
disclosure.
The Committee intends to optimize the deductibility of compensation paid to the
executive officers within the current structure of the Company's executive
compensation program. Under the transitional rules set forth in the proposed
regulations, all compensation attributable to stock options granted under the
Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan prior to the Company's 1997 Annual Meeting is
expected to qualify for deductibility under Section 162(m). Also, the Committee
expects that the annual incentive awards granted to date to the Company's
executive officers will, together with their 1995 salaries and any other
compensation paid to them in 1995, qualify for deductibility.
Annual Compensation
Annual compensation (base salary and annual incentive) guidelines were
established such that TI executives will receive a level of annual
compensation at, above or below the median annual compensation paid by
competitor companies depending upon whether TI's actual ROA is at, above or
below its internally established performance threshold, as described below.
Base Salary. Base salary guidelines were established at the median level of
salaries for similarly situated executives of competitor companies, or of
organizations within competitor companies, of similar size (in terms of total
revenue). The Committee, in its discretion, determined officer salaries in
January 1994 at what it considered to be appropriate levels after reviewing
performance toward prior year objectives (such as improving cycle times and
attaining a target goal of revenue per person) and long-term strategic
objectives (such as achievement of profitable growth in the semiconductor
business with a focus on increasing the mix of differentiated products toward
higher value-added solutions, or achievement of a target sustained after-tax
return on total assets for a specific Company unit or, in the case of the
CEO, the Company itself).
In determining the CEO's base salary, the Committee noted the continued
improvement in the financial performance of the Company. After consulting
with the CEO, however, the Committee made no adjustment to the CEO's base
salary for 1994, preferring instead to encourage continued improvement in the
Company's financial performance by increasing the CEO's long-term
compensation. Mr. Junkins' salary, therefore, remained below the median of
CEOs of competitor companies.
Annual Incentive. The Committee granted the CEO an annual incentive award in
March 1994. The award provided for variable payouts depending upon the
Company's ROA performance in 1994, and further provided that the Committee may,
in its discretion, reduce the amount payable under the award based on the
Committee's judgment of circumstances at the time. Incentive awards for the
other executive officers and the amount of the March award to be paid to the
CEO were determined in January 1995. As the performance component of annual
compensation, the annual incentive award varies significantly based on the
Company's profitability and the individual's contribution toward the
Company's performance. The performance threshold established for purposes of
determining annual incentive awards is stated in terms of after-tax return on
total assets (ROA). The ROA performance threshold was established for 1994
taking into account (a) the ROA performance, in recent years, of competitor
companies, and (b) the ROA the Company believes would be likely to increase
shareholder value over the long term.
In granting the CEO's incentive award in March 1994, the Committee considered
the incentive compensation paid to CEOs of competitor companies and the
Company's ROA forecast relative to the ROA performance of competitor
companies. The award was designed to pay the CEO at, above or below the
median incentive paid to CEOs of competitor companies depending upon whether
TI's ROA for 1994 is at, above or below the Company's internal ROA threshold.
Under the terms of the award, the Company's ROA performance for 1994 produced a
payment of $1,227,600. The Committee determined that no development since
the grant of the award justified a reduction in the payment. Mr. Junkins'
annual compensation (base salary plus incentive award) for 1994 exceeded the
median for competitor companies.
Taking into account each executive's contributions toward prior year
objectives and the degree to which TI's ROA performance exceeded the ROA
performance threshold, the Committee granted annual incentive awards to TI's
other executive officers such that the level of the officers' annual
compensation (base salary plus incentive award) for 1994 exceeded the median
of competitors' annual compensation.
Long-Term Compensation
The Committee determined long-term compensation in January 1994. Stock options
constitute TI's primary long-term incentive vehicle. Stock options granted
in 1994 were granted at 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, have
a 10-year term and do not become exercisable until after eight years,
although exercisability may be accelerated to the extent that earnings per
share goals are achieved (or in the event of a change in control of the
Company). Any value received by the executive from an option grant depends
completely upon increases in the price of TI common stock.
Guidelines for awards granted under TI's long-term incentive program were set
with the intention of providing TI executives an opportunity for financial gain
equivalent to the median opportunity provided by competitor companies through
all their long-term compensation programs. For this purpose, the future rate of
appreciation of the shares underlying stock-based awards is assumed to be the
same for all companies. Although not considered in establishing guidelines
for stock option grants, the size of prior grants was considered in
administering the guidelines.
The Committee reviewed the guidelines. Taking into account each executive's
contribution toward prior year objectives and expected contribution toward
meeting the Company's long-term strategic objectives, the Committee
determined to follow the guidelines for all but the CEO.
In determining the CEO's long-term compensation, the Committee reviewed progress
made toward the Company's long-term objectives: actions were taken to
improve the stability of TI's operations; the target differentiated product mix
was reached in the semiconductor business; the Company's ROA performance was
maintained; profit margins were being maintained in defense electronics while
continuing to size that business to a smaller market; and R&D investments
were being increased in areas that could provide significant new business
opportunities for the Company. The Committee determined that the grant of
the option to purchase 55,000 shares at a price per share of $70.63 (the
market value of TI's common stock on the date of grant) would,
in its judgment, provide the CEO with a competitive financial opportunity
equivalent to the median. Until the year 2002, the exercisability of the
option depends primarily on the achievement of specific earnings per share
goals. As referenced in the discussion of the CEO's annual compensation, the
Committee also determined to grant the CEO 2,000 restricted stock units
(payable in equal installments in the first quarter of 1995 and the first
quarter of 1996), with the result that the CEO's total long-term compensation
slightly exceeded the median long-term compensation provided by competitor
companies, and the CEO's total compensation (annual plus long-term) exceeded
the median total compensation.

PROPOSALS OF STOCKHOLDERS
The deadline for receipt of stockholder proposals for inclusion in the Company's
1996 proxy material is October 31, 1995.
Suggestions from stockholders concerning the Company's business are welcome and
all will be carefully considered by the Company's management. To assure
appropriate board review of such suggestions, the Stockholder Relations and
Public Policy Committee of the board of directors periodically reviews
correspondence from stockholders and management's responses. Through this
activity, stockholders are provided access at the board level without having
to resort to formal stockholder proposals. As a general matter, the board
would prefer that stockholders present their views through the mechanism
provided by its Stockholder Relations and Public Policy Committee rather than
through the process of formal stockholder proposals.
Management has been advised that a stockholder intends to present the following
proposal at the 1995 annual meeting. The name and address of the stockholder
will be furnished upon request made to the Company. The board of directors
opposes the proposal for the reasons stated after the proposal.
Stockholder Proposal
Whereas, the Company's Board of Directors has authority under the Company's
charter to issue one or more classes of so-called "blank check" preferred stock,
having such voting and other rights as the Board, in its sole discretion, may
determine;
Whereas, the Board may be able to deter unsolicited acquisition offers by
placing blank check preferred in friendly hands without seeking shareholder
approval;
Whereas, Delaware's anti-takeover statute enhances the Board's ability
to deter unsolicited takeover bids by placing a block of blank check
preferred in friendly hands;
Whereas, such use of blank check preferred by the Board could deprive
shareholders of the opportunity to consider valuable offers for their stock;
Resolved that the shareholders request that the Board:
Adopt a policy of seeking shareholder approval prior to placing
preferred stock with any person or group except for the purpose of raising
capital in the ordinary course of business or making acquisitions and without
a view to effecting a change in voting power.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
I. The Board can limit shifts in control of the Company by placing a block of
preferred stock in friendly hands without shareholder approval. Blank check
preferred can be issued by the Board for capital raising, acquisitions or as an
anti-takeover device, without shareholder approval. The Board can use blank
check preferred as an anti-takeover device to deter unsolicited tender offers
favorable to shareholders. For example, the Board could issue blank check
preferred to dilute the stock ownership of, or create voting impediments for,
an unsolicited acquiror. Since such uses of blank check preferred could
potentially diminish the value of the shareholders' investment and decrease
the market price of the Company's shares, shareholder approval should be
obtained before the Board uses blank check preferred as an anti-takeover device.
II. Delaware's anti-takeover statute enhances the Board's ability to deter
takeovers by undertaking blocking transactions. Delaware's anti-takeover
statute enhances the Board's ability to deter a takeover by placing blank
check preferred in friendly hands. The statute provides generally that
unless an unsolicited acquiror obtains 85 percent of the Company's voting
stock in the transaction by which it obtains 15 percent, it is barred for
three years from consummating a business combination with the Company. The
Board can thus effectively deter unsolicited bids by placing a significant
block of blank check preferred in friendly hands, making it much harder (if
not impossible) for an unsolicited bidder to attain the 85 percent ownership
it needs to be exempted from the Delaware statute.
III. Blank check preferred should not be used by the Board to disadvantage
shareholders without their consent. The Board's discretionary authority to
issue blank check preferred should only be exercised for corporate purposes
demonstrably in the best interests of shareholders. Good corporate governance
requires that holders of a majority of voting stock approve the use of blank
check preferred as a deterrent to unsolicited tender offers--a use that is
not necessarily in the best interests of shareholders.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST the above stockholder proposal
for the following reasons:
In 1985, holders of over 67% of the Company's common stock authorized the
board to fix certain terms of 10 million shares of preferred stock. As noted
in the 1985 proxy statement, the board sought this authorization to enhance
flexibility in connection with financings, corporate mergers, acquisitions of
property, use in employee benefit plans, or other corporate purposes.
Since 1985, relying on the flexibility entrusted to the board, the Company
has issued (and subsequently redeemed) over $800 million of preferred stock,
including auction-rate preferred stock and PERCS(TM).
Now, one stockholder has proposed a resolution to limit the flexibility
entrusted to the board. The apparent purpose of the resolution is to require
stockholder approval before the board uses preferred stock as an anti-
takeover device. The terms of the resolution, however, would take away
all flexibility of the board except in two cases: (a) raising capital in
the ordinary course of business; and (b) making acquisitions. Moreover, even
in these two cases, the board's flexibility would be retained only if there
is "no view to effecting a change in voting power."
If the proposed policy had been in place since 1985, the Company may have been
required to forego market opportunities in order to seek advance stockholder
approval of the preferred stock issuances completed by the Company.
For example, the Company, underwriters and legal counsel may have been unable
to conclude that the PERCS issuance was "in the ordinary course of business"
(since the security was novel and its issuance was not part of a pattern of
raising capital) and "without a view to effecting a change in voting power"
(since the PERCS would ultimately convert into up to 11 million shares of
common stock). It is not possible to foresee the extent of difficulties
the proposed policy could entail in the future.
The board is confident that stockholders understand that any issuance of
preferred stock will have to comply with the board's fiduciary duty to act in
the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Consequently, the board considers the stockholder proposal to be inappropriate.

Cost of Solicitation
The solicitation is made on behalf of the board of directors of the Company. The
cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to
solicitation by mail, the Company will make arrangements with brokerage
houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and
proxy material to their principals and will reimburse them for their
expenses in so doing. Officials and regular employees of the Company,
without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally, by telephone
or telegram, from some stockholders if proxies are not promptly received. In
addition, the Company has retained Georgeson & Company, Inc. to assist in
the solicitation of proxies at a cost of $15,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Vote Required
The ten nominees for election as directors at the 1995 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders who receive the greatest number of votes cast at that meeting
by the holders of the Company's common stock entitled to vote at that
meeting, a quorum being present, shall become directors at the conclusion of
the tabulation of votes. An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the voting power of the Company's common stock, present in person or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting, a quorum being
present, is necessary to approve any other matters as may properly come
before the meeting. Under Delaware law and the Company's Restated Certificate
of Incorporation and By-Laws, the aggregate number of votes entitled to be
cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the
meeting, whether those stockholders vote FOR, AGAINST or abstain from
voting, will be counted for purposes of determining the minimum number of
affirmative votes required for approval of such matters, and the total number of
votes cast FOR each of these matters will be counted for purposes of determining
whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. An abstention from
voting on a matter by a stockholder present in person or represented by
proxy at the meeting has the same legal effect as a vote AGAINST the matter
even though the stockholder or interested parties analyzing the results of
the voting may interpret such a vote differently.
Other Matters
The firm of Ernst & Young LLP has been selected by the board of directors,
pursuant to the recommendation of its Audit Committee, as independent
auditors for the Company. Representatives of such firm are expected to be
present, and to be available to respond to appropriate questions, at the
annual meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they
desire to do so; they have indicated that, as of this date, they do not
desire to do so.
