AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D (this “ Ninth Amendment ”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed on August 21, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on August 28, 2006, Amendment No. 2 on September 24, 2010, Amendment No. 3 on August 15, 2011, Amendment No. 4 on August 24, 2011, Amendment No. 5 on July 19, 2012, Amendment No. 6 on December 18, 2012, Amendment No. 7 on January 29, 2013 and Amendment No. 8 on February 25, 2013 (collectively, the “ Schedule 13D ”), with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Teletouch Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Issuer ”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D. All items or responses not described herein remain as previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented restated in its entirety, with effect from the date of this Ninth Amendment, as follows:

(a) through (f)

This Ninth Amendment is filed jointly by Stratford Capital Partners, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“ Stratford ”); Stratford Capital GP Associates, L.P, a Texas limited partnership and Stratford’s general partner (“ Stratford GP ”); Stratford Capital Corporation, a Texas corporation and the general partner of Stratford GP (“ Stratford Corp. ”); John R. Muse, an individual and a United States citizen (“ Mr. Muse ”); David W. Knickel, an individual and a United States citizen (“ Mr. Knickel ”); Retail & Restaurant Growth Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ RRGC ”); Retail & Restaurant Growth Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of RRGC (“ RRGC GP ”); Retail & Restaurant Growth Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the general partner of RRGC GP (“ RRGC Corp. ”); Joseph L. Harberg, an individual and a United States citizen (“ Mr. Harberg ”); Raymond C. Hemmig, an individual and a United States citizen (“ Mr. Hemmig ”, and together with Stratford, Stratford GP, Stratford Corp., Mr. Muse, Mr. Knickel, RRGC, RRGC GP, RRGC Corp. and Mr. Harberg , the “ Filing Parties ”).

Stratford was formed in 1995 as a federal licensee under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 to acquire, hold, vote, sell or otherwise dispose of direct or indirect debt and equity interests in qualified small businesses. On October 26, 2006, Stratford terminated its Small Business Investment Company license and ceased to be classified or operate as a Small Business Investment Company.

RRGC was formed in 1995 to invest in retail and restaurant companies and in 1996 became a federal licensee under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958.

On April 30, 2001, Stratford loaned $4,500,000 and RRGC loaned $3,000,000 to Progressive Concepts, Inc., a Texas corporation (“ PCI ”), pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement and certain related security agreements between PCI, as borrower, Progressive Concepts Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the parent corporation of PCI (“ PCCI ”), RRGC and Stratford. Stratford and RRGC also received certain warrants to purchase shares of PCCI in connection with the loan. The agreements entered into in connection with this transaction, including the warrant agreement, are referred to collectively herein as the “ 2001 Loan Documents .”

On August 11, 2006, in connection with a reorganization among entities under common control with PCCI effected by PCCI, Stratford and RRGC entered into a Debt Exchange and Loan Document Termination Agreement (the “ 2006 Exchange Agreement ”), between Stratford, RRGC, PCI, PCCI, Robert M. McMurrey and TLL Partners, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“ TLL Partners ”), pursuant to which TLL Partners conveyed to Stratford 2,610,000 and to RRGC 1,740,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer and certain Series A Preferred Units (the “ Preferred Units ”) representing preferred membership interests in TLL Partners accruing cumulative dividends at a rate of 12.5% per annum in exchange for the termination of all obligations of PCI under the 2001 Loan Documents. TLL Partners had the right to redeem the Preferred Units at any time for cash equal to the liquidation preference of the Preferred Units plus accrued dividends, subject to satisfaction of certain senior secured debt of TLL Partners. If the Preferred Units were not redeemed by TLL Partners by August 11, 2008, subject to satisfaction of certain senior secured debt of TLL Partners, Stratford and RRGC could require TLL Partners to redeem the Preferred Units for shares of Common Stock, if any, held by TLL Partners at the time of exercise of such redemption such that Stratford and RRGC would receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the liquidation preference of their Preferred Units divided by the market price of Common Stock at such time.

On August 11, 2011, Stratford, RRGC and TLLP Partners entered into a binding agreement titled “Heads of Terms” and certain related agreements (the “ 2011 Binding Agreement ”), whereby, subject to certain conditions, Stratford would exchange its Preferred Units and make a cash payment of $2.25 million to TLL Partners in exchange for 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock held by TLL Partners, and RRGC would exchange its Preferred Units and make a cash payment of $1.5 million to TLL Partners in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock held by TLL Partners (the “ 2011 Exchange ”, and the shares of Common Stock transferred to Stratford and RRGC in the Exchange, the “ 2011 Exchanged Shares ”). The 2011 Exchange was to be in cancellation of the Preferred Units and was to extinguish the rights of Stratford and RRGC to redeem their Preferred Units for Common Stock held by TLL Partners. The 2011 Exchange was subject to a number of conditions, including the concurrent termination of all obligations of TLL Partners under loan agreements with its senior secured lender with the cash funded by Stratford and RRGC and 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be transferred from TLL Partners to those lenders. As contemplated by the 2011 Binding Agreement, upon the closing of the 2011 Exchange the parties were to enter into various agreements relating to the Common Stock to be held by RRGC and Stratford, including (1) a registration rights agreement providing for the registration of the 2011 Exchanged Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”), (2) a put and call option and transfer restriction agreement whereby TLL Partners would have the right to call from Stratford and RRGC the 2011 Exchanged Shares for a 15-month period for a call price of $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment upon certain dilution events), Stratford and RRGC would have the right to put their 2011 Exchanged Shares to TLL Partners for a 30-day period at the end of the call option period for a put price of $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment upon certain dilution events), and Stratford and RRGC would agree not to transfer the 2011 Exchanged Shares for a period of seven months after the date of the 2011 Exchange (the “ Put and Call and Transfer Restriction Agreement ”), (3) a voting agreement whereby Stratford and RRGC would agree to vote their 2011 Exchanged Shares in proportion to the votes of the other shareholders of Teletouch during the call option period (the “ Voting Agreement ”), (4) a pledge and security agreement whereby TLL Partners would pledge certain of its remaining shares of Common Stock to RRGC and Stratford as security for their put rights (the “ Pledge and Security Agreement ”), (5) mutual releases of claims between (A) RRGC and Stratford, on the one hand, and TLL Partners and the Issuer, on the other hand, and (B) RRGC and Stratford, on the one hand, and Robert M. McMurrey, on the other hand (together, the “ Mutual Releases ”), and (6) certain other ancillary documents (together with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Put and Call and Transfer Restriction Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Pledge and Security Agreement, and the Mutual Releases, the “2011 Exchange Documents”).

On August 18, 2011, the parties completed the 2011 Exchange pursuant to the 2011 Exchange Documents, and as a result, Stratford and RRGC owned what represents as of March 26, 2013 approximately 60% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on 48,742,335 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2012).
