Item 8.01 Other Events.

      On July 15, 2005, Comstock Resources, Inc. (“Comstock”) issued a press release announcing the results of the BSMC Unit ‘B’ #1 well drilled in Polk County, Texas to test its “Big Sandy” prospect. Drilling operations on this well were started on December 1, 2004 and were completed on July 11, 2005 when the well reached a measured depth of 19,093 feet. The well’s Lower Woodbine logging operations from 17,100 feet to 18,890 feet were finalized on July 14, 2005. Although some productive pay was logged within this over-all interval it was not sufficient to justify the cost of a completion. Comstock has been unable to log the remaining 203 feet but had other indications that no hydrocarbons were present in the lowest section drilled. Comstock is currently processing and evaluating all of the Upper and Lower Woodbine formation data acquired during the well’s various drilling and logging operations. This new data will be evaluated in an effort to improve the Company’s geological interpretation of its Robin exploration prospect acreage. After this evaluation is complete, Comstock plans to re-assess its Robin acreage drilling opportunities and risk.

      Costs of this project totaled approximately $14 million which was considerably higher than the initial estimate due to several significant drilling problems that were encountered in drilling this deep directional well. Comstock’s second quarter financial results will include a charge of $14 million for the write-off of this unsuccessful exploratory well.

      Comstock’s Press Release announcing the results of the BSMC Unit B #1 well is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
