                                       2



ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

         The securities covered by this Schedule 13D are shares of common stock,
$.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Nextgen Communications Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"). The Company's principal executive offices
are located at 11850 Jones Road, Houston, Texas 77070.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

(a)      This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by Frank J. Fradella, an
         individual ("Fradella");

(b)      Fradella's business address is 11850 Jones Road, Houston, Texas 77070;

(c)      Fradella's principal occupation is serving as President, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company;

(d)      Fradella has not, during the past five years, been convicted in any
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors);

(e)      Fradella has not, during the past five years, been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction that
resulted in enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation
with respect to such laws;

(f)      Fradella is a U.S. citizen.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         Not applicable.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         On March 14, 2002, the Company repurchased certain shares of Common
Stock from a stockholder. Fradella experienced an increase in his percentage
ownership of 1% or more as a result of such reduction in outstanding shares of
Common Stock.

         Fradella currently has no plans to acquire additional securities of the
Company, except for his potential exercise of (i) stock options granted to him
by the Company on October 3, 2000, in connection with his employment, to
purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.65 per share
(the "Stock Options"), or (ii) stock purchase rights granted to him by the
Company on April 2, 2001, in connection with his employment, to purchase 500,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (the "Stock
Purchase Rights"). The Stock Options vest over five years, in increments of
50,000 shares per year, commencing on October 3, 2001, and 250,000 shares that
could be purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Rights are subject to the
Company's repurchase rights, which lapse over five years, in increments of
50,000 shares per year, commencing on April 2, 2002.

         Except as set forth above, Fradella has no plans to engage in any
transactions described in Paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Item. Any decision
by Fradella in the future to acquire or dispose of equity in the Company or to
take any other actions with respect to the Company or its securities will depend
upon several factors, including the prospects of the Company, general market and
economic conditions, and other factors deemed relevant.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES

(a) As of the date hereof, Fradella beneficially owns 2,252,651 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, including 250,000 shares that would result from the
exercise of the Stock Options, and 500,000 shares that would result from the
exercise of the Stock Purchase Rights. Fradella has elected to include in the
calculation required


                                       3



by this Item 5. all shares that would result from the exercise of the Stock
Options and the Stock Purchase Rights, including those shares that are not
exercisable within 60 days hereof. The 2,252,651 shares owned by Fradella
represent 22.6% of 9,971,882, which is the sum of: (i) 9,221,882 shares of
Common Stock that the Company had outstanding as of December 31, 2001, as
reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,

Options, and (iii) the 500,000 shares that would result from the exercise of the

             sole power to vote or direct the vote:                 2,252,651
             shared power to vote or direct the vote:                       0
             sole power to dispose or direct the disposition:       2,252,651
             shared power to dispose or direct the disposition:             0

(c)      Other than the transactions set forth herein, Fradella has not engaged
in any transactions in the Common Stock within the past 60 days;

(d)      Not applicable;

(e)      Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         Fradella has no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any
securities of the Company, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option
arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss,

occurrence of which would give another person voting or investment power over
the securities of the Company.

                                    SIGNATURE
