SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdrawn From Listing 
and Registration; (Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., Common Stock, Par 
Value $.01 Per Share) File No. 1-9203

May 21, 1999.
    Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the above specified security (``Security'') from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or 
``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Security of the Company has been listed for trading on the Amex 
and, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A which became 
effective on May 10, 1999, on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. 
(``NYSE''). Trading of the Company's Security on the NYSE commenced at 
the opening of business on May 13, 1999.
    The Company has complied with Rule 18 of the Amex by filing with 
the Exchange a certified copy of preambles and resolutions adopted by 
the Executive Committee of the Company's Board of Directors authorizing 
the withdrawal of its Security from listing on the Amex and by setting 
forth in detail to the Exchange the reasons for the proposed 
withdrawal, and the facts in support thereof. In making the decision to 
withdraw its Security from listing on the Amex, the Company considered, 
among other things, the desirability of avoiding the direct and 
indirect costs of, and the division of the market resulting from, 
listing the Security on both the Amex and the NYSE. The Amex has 
informed the Company that it has no objection to the withdrawal of the 
Company's Security from listing on the Exchange.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal from 
listing of the Company's Security from the Amex and shall have no 
effect upon the continued listing of the Security on the NYSE. By 
reason of Section 12(d) of the Act and the rules and regulations of the 
Commission thereunder, the Company shall continue to be obligated to 
file reports under Section 13 of the Act with the Commission and the 
NYSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before June 11, 1999, submit by 
letter to

[[Page 29075]]

the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth 
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether the 
application has been made in accordance with the rules of the Exchange 
and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
