On December 29, 2011, Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock"), entered into the Second Amendment and Waiver to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amendment").

The Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 29, 2011, Comstock announced that it closed the previously announced acquisition of certain oil and gas properties in Reeves County in West Texas from Eagle Oil & Gas Co. and certain other parties for $331.9 million. The acquisition includes approximately 68,000 gross (44,000 net) acres in the Southern Delaware Basin in Reeves County, Texas which are prospective for development in the Bone Spring and Wolfcamp shales. The acquisition consists primarily of leasehold but also includes an estimated 21.5 million barrels of oil equivalent of proved reserves as of November 1, 2011 and net daily production which averaged 1,445 barrels of oil equivalent per day during November 2011. The properties acquired included 33 producing wells and six wells in various stages of completion.
The acquisition had an effective date of November 1, 2011. The purchase and sale agreement was previously filed pursuant to the current Report on Form 8-K dated December 5, 2011. The acquisition was funded by borrowings under Comstock's bank credit facility.
The press release announcing the closing of this transaction is Exhibit 99.1.
