      Item 5 Other Events

             Certain executive officers of First Cash Financial Services,
             Inc. (the "Company") sold 168,500 shares of the Company's
             common stock during the period from May 8, 2003 through May 12,
             2003.  The executive officers participating in the sale of
             stock were Phillip E. Powell, chairman of the board and chief
             executive officer, and Rick Wessel, president.  The shares were
             sold on the open market at an average price of approximately
             $11.30 per share.

             The officers have each committed the proceeds from these
             stock sales, which approximate $1,900,000, to reduce the
             indebtedness on loans previously made to them by the Company.
             The repayments will reduce the outstanding amount of the
             Company's total notes receivable from all officers to
             approximately $973,000.
