AMENDMENT NO. 3
TO SCHEDULE 13D

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 to this Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the original filing of this Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission effective as of February 3, 2014.  This Statement relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Kronos Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kronos Worldwide”).  Items 2, 4, 5 and 7 of this Statement are hereby amended as set forth below.  The Reporting Persons (as defined below) are filing this amendment as a result of the appointment of a successor trustee of the Family Trust (as defined below).

Item 2.
Identity and Background.

Item 2 is amended and supplemented as follows.

(a) The following entities or persons are filing this Statement (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

NLKW Holding, LLC (“NLKW”) and Valhi, Inc. (“Valhi”), as direct holders of Shares;

Contran Corporation (“Contran”), by virtue of its indirect ownership of NLKW and Valhi;

NL Industries, Inc. (“NL”) and Dixie Rice Agricultural LLC (“Dixie Rice”), by virtue of their direct or indirect ownership of NLKW and Valhi;

Lisa K. Simmons by virtue of ownership of outstanding voting stock of Contran by her and entities related to her, and her position as co-chair of the Contran board of directors (the “Contran Board”);

Serena Simmons Connelly by virtue of ownership of outstanding voting stock of Contran by her and entities related to her, and her position as co-chair of the Contran Board; and

the Harold C. Simmons Family Trust No. 2 (the “Family Trust”), by virtue of its ownership of outstanding voting stock of Contran.

By signing this Statement, each Reporting Person agrees that this Statement is filed on its or her behalf.

The following is a description of the relationships among the Reporting Persons.

A majority of Contran’s outstanding voting stock is held directly by Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly and various family trusts established for the benefit of Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly and their children and for which Ms. Simmons or Ms. Connelly, as applicable, serves as trustee (collectively, the “Other Trusts”). The remainder of Contran’s outstanding voting stock is held by the Family Trust, for which Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly previously served as co-trustees.  Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly are sisters.

Effective July 16, 2019, and upon entry of an agreed final judgment by the probate court of Dallas County in the state of Texas (the “Final Judgment”), Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly appointed Terri Lacy and Kalita Blessing, respectively, as successor co-trustees of the Family Trust.  Effective September 3, 2019, each of Ms. Lacy and Ms. Blessing resigned as a trustee of the Family Trust.  Effective September 3, 2019, each of Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly appointed Tolleson Private Bank (the “Trustee”) as successor trustee of the Family Trust. Pursuant to the Final Judgment, Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly retain the ability to appoint qualifying successor trustees of the Family Trust if the then-serving trustee resigns or otherwise does not serve as trustee.

Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly serve as co-chairs of the Contran Board, and one other member of Contran management also serves on the Contran Board.  The Trustee of the Family Trust has the power to vote and direct the disposition of the shares of Contran stock held by the Family Trust.  Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly each has the power to vote and direct the disposition of shares of Contran stock they hold directly or which is held by the Other Trusts for which they serve as trustee.

Contran is the holder of the sole membership interest of Dixie Rice and may be deemed to control Dixie Rice.

Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Family Trust directly hold, or are related to the following entities or person that directly hold, the following percentages of the 115,806,395 Shares outstanding as of the close of business on August 30, 2019 based on information from Kronos Worldwide (the “Outstanding Shares”):

Valhi 
    50.1%
NLKW 
    30.4%
Contran 
Less than 1%
Serena Simmons Connelly 
Less than 1%

Together, Valhi, NL (and its wholly owned subsidiary NLKW) and Contran may be deemed to control Kronos Worldwide.

Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Family Trust directly hold, or are related to the following entities or person that directly hold, the following percentages of the outstanding shares of NL common stock:

Valhi 
    82.8%
Kronos Worldwide 
Less than 1%
Serena Simmons Connelly 
Less than 1%

Together, Valhi and Kronos Worldwide may be deemed to control NL.

Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Family Trust directly hold, or related to the following entity or person that directly hold, the following percentages of the outstanding shares of Valhi common stock:

Dixie Rice 
   92.6%
Serena Simmons Connelly 
Less than 1%

Dixie Rice may be deemed to control Valhi.

NL (including a wholly owned subsidiary of NL) and Kronos Worldwide own 14,372,970 shares and 1,724,916 shares, respectively, of Valhi common stock.  As already stated, Valhi is the direct holder of approximately 82.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of NL and 50.1% of the Outstanding Shares.  As a result of Valhi’s direct and indirect ownership of NL and Kronos Worldwide and pursuant to Delaware law and Section 13(d)(4) of the Exchange Act, Valhi treats the shares of Valhi common stock that NL and Kronos Worldwide own as treasury stock for voting purposes.  For the purposes of this statement, such shares of Valhi common stock that NL and Kronos Worldwide hold are not deemed outstanding.

By virtue of the stock ownership of each of Kronos Worldwide, NLKW, NL, Valhi, Dixie Rice and Contran, Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly being beneficiaries of the Family Trust, the direct holdings of Contran voting stock by each of Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Other Trusts, the positions as co-chairs of the Contran Board by each of Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly, and the Family Trust’s ownership of Contran voting stock, in each case as described above, (a) Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Family Trust (and the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Family Trust) may be deemed to control Contran, Dixie Rice, Valhi, NL, NLKW and Kronos Worldwide and (b) Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly, the Family Trust (and the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Family Trust), Contran, Dixie Rice, Valhi, NL, NLKW and Kronos Worldwide may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of, and a pecuniary interest in, shares of common stock directly held by such entities, including any Shares.  However, Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Family Trust (and the Trustee) each disclaims beneficial ownership of, and such pecuniary interest in, such shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any of such entities, except to the extent of their direct beneficial ownership, if any, in shares of such entities.
