AMENDMENT NO. 21

TO SCHEDULE 13D

This amended statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to the class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Shares”), of CompX International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Items 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Statement are hereby amended as set forth below.

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

Item 2 is amended as follows.

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

·	NL Industries, Inc. (“NL”) as a direct holder of Class A Shares;

TIMET Finance Management Company (“TFMC”), Titanium Metals Corporation (“TIMET”), Valhi, Inc. (“Valhi”), Valhi Holding Company (“VHC”), Dixie Rice Agricultural Corporation, Inc. (“Dixie Rice”), Contran Corporation (“Contran”), The Combined Master Retirement Trust (the “CMRT”) and the Harold Simmons Foundation, Inc. (the “Foundation”) by virtue of their direct or indirect ownership of NL; and

·	Harold C. Simmons by virtue of his direct and indirect ownership of Class A Shares and his positions with Contran and certain of the other entities (as described in this Statement).

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

NL, Harold C. Simmons and his spouse, Annette C. Simmons, are direct holders of 32.0%, 11.7% and 0.8%, respectively, of the 2,361,307 Class A Shares outstanding as of January 6, 2009 according to information the Company provided (the “Outstanding Class A Shares”).

NL also directly holds 100%, or 10,000,000 shares, of the Company’s class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Shares” and collectively with the Class A Shares shall be referred to as the “Shares”). The relative rights of the Shares are described in Exhibit 3.1 to Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 4, 1998 (Reg. No. 333-42643), which is incorporated herein by reference. As a result of its ownership of 32.0% of the Class A Shares and 100% of the Class B Shares, NL directly holds approximately 87.0% of the combined voting power (98.4% of the voting power for the election of directors) of all classes of voting stock of the Company. NL may be deemed to control the Company.

Valhi and TFMC are the direct holders of approximately 83.1% and 0.5%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of NL common stock and together may be deemed to control NL. TIMET is the direct holder of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of TFMC and may be deemed to control TFMC.

VHC, Annette C. Simmons, the CMRT, Harold C. Simmons, NL, Valhi, the Foundation, and The Annette Simmons Grandchildren’s Trust (the “Grandchildren’s Trust”) are the holders of approximately 26.6%, 12.1%, 8.5%, 4.0%, 0.8%, 0.5%, 0.2% and less than 0.1%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of TIMET common stock, and may be deemed to control TIMET. The percentage ownership of TIMET common stock owned by NL includes 0.3% of the outstanding shares of TIMET common stock that a wholly owned subsidiary of NL directly holds.

VHC, TFMC, the Foundation and the CMRT are the direct holders of 92.6%, 1.1%, 0.9% and 0.1%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common stock of Valhi. VHC may be deemed to control Valhi. Dixie Rice is the direct holder of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of VHC and may be deemed to control VHC. Contran is the holder of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Dixie Rice and may be deemed to control Dixie Rice.

Substantially all of Contran’s outstanding voting stock is held by trusts established for the benefit of certain children and grandchildren of Harold C. Simmons (the “Trusts”), of which Mr. Simmons is the sole trustee, or held by Mr. Simmons or persons or other entities related to Mr. Simmons. As sole trustee of the Trusts, Mr. Simmons has the power to vote and direct the disposition of the shares of Contran stock held by the Trusts. Mr. Simmons, however, disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Contran stock that the Trusts hold.

The Foundation directly holds approximately 0.2% of the outstanding shares of TIMET common stock and 0.9% of the outstanding shares of Valhi common stock. The Foundation is a tax-exempt foundation organized for charitable purposes. Harold C. Simmons is the chairman of the board of the Foundation and may be deemed to control the Foundation.

The CMRT directly holds approximately 8.5% of the outstanding shares of TIMET common stock and 0.1% of the outstanding shares of Valhi common stock. Contran sponsors the CMRT, which permits the collective investment by master trusts that maintain the assets of certain employee benefit plans Contran and related companies adopt. Harold C. Simmons is the sole trustee of the CMRT and a member of the investment committee for the CMRT. Mr. Simmons is also a participant in one or more of the employee benefit plans that invest through the CMRT.

NL and one of its wholly owned subsidiaries directly own 3,604,790 shares and 1,186,200 shares, respectively, of Valhi common stock. As already stated, Valhi is the direct holder of approximately 83.1% of the outstanding shares of NL common stock. Pursuant to Delaware law, Valhi treats the shares of Valhi common stock that NL and its wholly owned subsidiary own as treasury stock for voting purposes and for the purposes of this Statement such shares are not deemed outstanding.

Mr. Harold C. Simmons is chairman of the board and chief executive officer of NL and chairman of the board of TIMET, Valhi, VHC, Dixie Rice and Contran.

By virtue of the holding of the offices, the stock ownership and his service as trustee, all as described above, (a) Mr. Simmons may be deemed to control the entities described above and (b) Mr. Simmons and certain of such entities may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares that are directly held by NL. However, Mr. Simmons disclaims such beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any of such entities.

Annette C. Simmons is the direct owner of 20,000 Class A Shares, 21,825,875 shares of TIMET common stock, 269,775 shares of NL common stock and 200,900 shares of Valhi common stock. Mr. Simmons may be deemed to share indirect beneficial ownership of such securities. He disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities that his spouse holds directly.

Harold C. Simmons is the direct owner of 276,035 Class A Shares, 7,295,239 shares of TIMET common stock, 880,600 shares of NL common stock and 102,683 shares of Valhi common stock.

The Grandchildren’s Trust, of which Harold C. Simmons and Annette C. Simmons are co-trustees and the beneficiaries of which are the grandchildren of Annette C. Simmons, is the direct holder of 34,000 shares of Valhi common stock and 17,432 shares of TIMET common stock. Mr. Simmons disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.

Certain information concerning the directors and executive officers of the Reporting Persons, including offices held by Mr. Simmons, is set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is amended as follows.

The total amount of funds Harold C. Simmons used to acquire the Class A Shares he purchased as reported in Item 5(c) was $86,690.71 (including commissions and fees). He used his personal funds for such purchases.

The total amount of funds NL used to acquire the Class A Shares it purchased as reported in Item 5(c) was $505.00 (including commissions and fees). NL obtained such funds from its cash on hand.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is amended as follows.

Mr. Simmons and NL each purchased the Class A Shares reported in Item 5(c) as purchased by him or it in order to increase his or its equity interest in the Company.

Depending upon their evaluation of the Company’s business and prospects, and upon future developments (including, but not limited to, performance of the Class A Shares in the market, availability of funds, alternative uses of funds, and money, stock market and general economic conditions), any of the Reporting Persons or other entities that may be deemed to be affiliated with Contran may from time to time purchase Shares, and any of the Reporting Persons or other entities that may be deemed to be affiliated with Contran may from time to time dispose of all or a portion of the Shares held by such person, or cease buying or selling Shares. Any such additional purchases or sales of Shares may be in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

The information included in Item 2 of this Statement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. As described under Item 2 of this Statement, Harold C. Simmons may be deemed to control the Company.

Certain of the persons named in Schedule B to this Statement, namely James W. Brown, L. Andrew Fleck, Robert D. Graham, Tim C. Hafer, J. Mark Hollingsworth, Keith A. Johnson, William J. Lindquist, A. Andrew R. Louis, Kelly D. Luttmer, Andrew B. Nace, Bobby D. O’Brien, Glenn R. Simmons, Harold C. Simmons, John A. St. Wrba, Scott E. Sullivan, Gregory M. Swalwell and Steven L. Watson are employees of Contran who perform, or may perform, services for the Company and may acquire Class A Shares from time to time pursuant to employee benefit plans that the Company sponsors or other compensation arrangements with the Company or otherwise.

Except as described in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of such persons, any other person named in Schedule B to this Statement has formulated any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any matter required to be disclosed in response to paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
