Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         The  registrant  announced  on  March  31,  2003  that it had  executed
Partnership  Interest Purchase Agreements to purchase the remaining interests in
Triad Senior Living II, L.P., Triad Senior Living III, L.P., Triad Senior Living
IV, L.P.,  and Triad Senior Living V, L.P.,  (the "Triad  Entities").  Effective
July 1, 2003, the registrant purchased the partnership  interests of the general
partner  and  other  third  party  limited  partnership  interests  of the Triad
Entities for approximately $1.7 million plus liabilities assumed. The registrant
paid for these interests with cash of  $1,292,550.58  and by issuing  promissory
notes in the aggregate  principal  amount of $402,905.01.  Such notes are due no
later than January 2, 2004.

         The registrant  previously  had an  approximate 1% limited  partnership
interest in each of the Triad  Entities.  The Triad  Entities  are  comprised of
twelve  senior  living   communities  with  a  combined   resident  capacity  of
approximately  1,670  residents.  The resident  capacity mix is 95%  independent
living and 5%  assisted  living,  with all  revenues  derived  from  private pay
sources.

Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

         (a) Not applicable.

         (b) Pro forma financial information.

         The pro forma financial  statements of the registrant  required by this
Item  7(b) are not yet  available.  The  registrant  expects  that the pro forma
financial  statements  will be complete  and filed by amendment to this Form 8-K
Current  Report  within 60 days after the date this Form 8-K  Current  Report is
required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         (c) Exhibits.

                  10.1     Form of  Partnership  Interest  Purchase  Agreements,
                           dated as of March 25, 2003,  between  Capital  Senior
                           Living  Properties,  Inc.  and  the  Triad  Entities,
                           regarding the exercise of the registrant's options to
                           purchase  the  partnership  interests  in  the  Triad
                           Entities    owned    by    non-registrant     parties
                           (incorporated  by reference to Exhibit  10.115 to the
                           registrant's  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for the
                           fiscal year ended  December  31,  2002,  filed by the
                           registrant   with   the   Securities   and   Exchange
                           Commission)

         The following  exhibit to this Current  Report on Form 8-K is not being
filed but is being furnished pursuant to Item 9 and Item 12 below:

                  99.1     Press Release dated July 29, 2003


Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure; Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial
         Condition.

         On July 29, 2003,  the registrant  announced its financial  results for
the quarter ended June 30, 2003 by issuing a press release. The full text of the
press release issued in connection  with the  announcement is attached hereto as
Exhibit  No.  99.1.  This  information  is being  furnished  under  both  Item 9
(Regulation  FD  Disclosure)  and Item 12 (Results of  Operations  and Financial
Condition)  of Form  8-K.  This  information  shall not be  deemed  "filed"  for
purposes of Section 18 of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended,  or the Exchange Act,  except as shall be expressly set
forth by specific reference in such a filing. The press release contains and may
implicate,  forward-looking  statements  regarding the  registrant  and includes
cautionary  statements  identifying  important  factors  that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated.

         In the press release,  the registrant's  management  utilized  non-GAAP
financial measures to describe the registrant's  EBITDA,  cash earnings and cash
earnings per share.  These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to
evaluate  financial  performance and resource  allocation for its facilities and
for the registrant as a whole. These measures are commonly used as an analytical
indicator  within the senior  housing  industry,  and also serve as a measure of
leverage  capacity and debt service  ability.  The  registrant has provided this
information in order to enhance investors overall  understanding of registrant's

                                       2


financial  performance  and prospects.  In addition,  because the registrant has
historically provided this type of information to the investment community,  the
registrant believes that including this information  provides consistency in its
financial reporting.

         These non-GAAP  financial measures should not be considered as measures
of financial  performance under generally accepted  accounting  principles,  and
items  excluded  from  them are  significant  components  in  understanding  and
assessing  financial  performance.  These  measures  should not be considered in
isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows generated by operating,
investing,  or  financing  activities,  earnings  per  share or other  financial
statement  data  presented  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  as  an
indicator of financial performance or liquidity.  Because these measures are not
measurements   determined  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles and are thus susceptible to varying  calculations,  these measures as
presented  may not be  comparable to other  similarly  titled  measures of other
companies.

the  registrant  has duly  caused  this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
