This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) is filed by ChevronTexaco Corporation (the “Registrant”) and relates to 390,208 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.75 per share, issuable pursuant to the ChevronTexaco Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan (the “2003 Directors’ Plan”).

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment No. 1”) to Registration Statement No. 333-26731 on Form S-8 filed on May 9, 1997 (the “RSP Registration Statement”) is filed to amend the RSP Registration Statement (pursuant to which 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant were registered, of which 9,792 shares remain available for issuance (with an associated filing fee of approximately $205.86)) to reflect the merger of the ChevronTexaco Corporation Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “RSP”) (formerly the Chevron Corporation Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors) into the 2003 Directors’ Plan. Subject to stockholder approval of the 2003 Directors’ Plan, the RSP will be merged into the 2003 Directors’ Plan. According to the terms of the 2003 Directors’ Plan, shares that were previously authorized for use under the RSP, but were not issued, are available for issuance under the 2003 Directors’ Plan. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 amends all references to the Chevron Corporation Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors under the RSP Registration Statement to reference the ChevronTexaco Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan.

This Registration Statement and Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 combined bring the number of shares of Common Stock of the Registrant registered under the 2003 Directors’ Plan to 400,000.

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 (this “Post-Effective Amendment No. 3”) amends Registration Statement No. 333-72672 on Form S-8 filed on November 1, 2001 as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement filed on June 21, 2002 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-8 Registration Statement filed on October 17, 2002, (Registration Statement No. 333-72672 as amended is referred to herein as the “2001 Registration Statement”). Subject to stockholder approval of the 2003 Directors’ Plan, the ChevronTexaco Corporation Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors will be merged into the 2003 Directors’ Plan. The Registrant hereby amends the 2001 Registration Statement to remove the ChevronTexaco Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors from the 2001 Registration Statement. All other provisions of the 2001 Registration Statement remain unchanged.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Article IX of Registrant’s restated Certificate of Incorporation provides as follows:

“1. A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (a) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders; (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (c) pursuant to section 174 of the Corporation Law; or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

2. To the fullest extent authorized by the Corporation Law, the Corporation shall indemnify any Corporate Servant who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person was or is a Corporate Servant.

3. In serving or continuing to serve the Corporation, a Corporate Servant is entitled to rely and shall be presumed to have relied on the rights granted pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, which shall be enforceable as contract rights and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the Corporate Servant; and no repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX shall adversely affect any right existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

4. The Board of Directors is authorized, to the extent permitted by the Corporation Law, to cause the Corporation to pay expenses incurred by Corporate Servants in defending Proceedings and to purchase and maintain insurance on their behalf whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify them under the provisions of this Article IX or otherwise.

5. Any right or privilege conferred by or pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any Corporate Servant may otherwise be entitled.

6. As used in this Article IX:

(a) ‘Corporate Servant’ means any natural person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, manager, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other organization or enterprise, nonprofit or otherwise, including an employee benefit plan;

(b) ‘Corporation Law’ means the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as from time to time amended;

(c) ‘indemnify’ means to hold harmless against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Corporate Servant in connection with a Proceeding;

(d) ‘Proceeding’ means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative; and

(e) ‘request of the Corporation’ includes any written authorization by an officer of the Corporation.”

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in which the Registrant is incorporated, permits, subject to certain conditions, the indemnification of directors or officers of a Delaware corporation for expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in relation to certain matters against them as such directors or officers.

The directors and officers of the Registrant are covered by policies of insurance under which they are insured, within limits and subject to limitations, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, in which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers; the Registrant is similarly insured with respect to certain payments it might be required to make to its directors or officers under the applicable statutes and the Registrant’s by-law provisions.

24.1 to 24.16		Powers of Attorney for directors and certain officers of Registrant, authorizing the signing of the registration statement and post-effective amendments on Form S-8 on their behalf.

The consolidated financial statements of the Registrant incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, except as they relate to Texaco Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000, which were audited by Arthur Andersen LLP.

Arthur Andersen LLP has not consented to the incorporation by reference of their report on the financial statements of Texaco Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2000 in this Registration Statement, and the Registrant has dispensed with the requirement to file their consent in reliance upon Rule 437a of the Securities Act of 1933. Because Arthur Andersen LLP has not consented to the incorporation by reference of their report in this Registration Statement, you will not be able to recover against Arthur Andersen LLP under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen LLP or any omissions to state a material fact required to be stated therein.

Item 9. Undertakings.


	(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

	(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:


	(A) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

	(B) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;

	(C) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;


	provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

	(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

	(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be


	deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
