Item 1.01        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on January 11, 2010, Reorganized TXCO, Inc. (formerly known as TXCO Resources Inc.) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries TXCO Energy Corp., Texas Tar Sands Inc., Output Acquisition Corp., Opex Energy, LLC, Charro Energy, Inc., TXCO Drilling Corp., Eagle Pass Well Service, L.L.C., PPL Operating, Inc., Maverick Gas Marketing, Ltd., and Maverick-Dimmit Pipeline, Ltd. (collectively, “TXCO”) entered into a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell a substantial portion of TXCO’s assets to Newfield Exploration Company (“Newfield”) and Anadarko E&P Company LP (“Anadarko,” and together with Newfield, collectively the “Purchasers”).

On February 11, 2010, TXCO entered into a First Amendment to Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”).  The Amendment, which is effective as of February 11, 2010, among other things: (i) memorializes the amendment to the Purchase Agreement set forth in Section 1.100 of the Plan (as defined in Item 1.03 below), (ii) memorializes the amendment to the Purchase Agreement set forth in Paragraph 69 of the Confirmation Order (defined in Item 1.03 below), (iii) supplements or amends certain exhibits and schedules to the Purchase Agreement, and sets forth certain specific assets to be retained by TXCO and not acquired by the Purchasers at closing.  A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.03        Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, on May 17, 2009, TXCO filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (Case No. 09-51807).

Also as previously disclosed, on January 11, 2010, TXCO and the Purchasers entered into the Purchase Agreement.  As a result, TXCO filed the Second Amended Plan of Reorganization for TXCO Resources Inc., et al., Debtors and Debtors-in-Possession based on Sale of Debtors’ Assets (the “Plan”) with the Bankruptcy Court.  On January 27, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan, as modified pursuant to the rulings of the Bankruptcy Court and the agreements of various parties.

On February 11, 2010, TXCO satisfied the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Plan.   As a result, the Plan became effective on February 11, 2010 (the “Effective Date”).  On February 12, 2010, a Notice of Occurrence of Effective Date (the “Notice of Effective Date”) was filed with the Bankruptcy Court.    A copy of the Notice of Effective Date is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the Plan becoming effective, all equity interests of the Company (including all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), options, warrants or contractual or other rights to acquire any equity interests) were cancelled and extinguished on the Effective Date.

The Plan provides, among other things, that certain assets will be transferred to a liquidating trust (the “Liquidating Trust”) for the benefit of holders of the Company’s equity interests.  Depending on the proceeds, if any, ultimately received by the Liquidating Trust, the Company anticipates that holders of the Company’s equity interests may receive some cash or other property in respect of the equity interests they held on the Effective Date.  However, the amount of cash or other property that may ultimately be received by the holders of Common Stock will be limited to $10,000,000 in the aggregate and cannot be paid until the holders of interests in the Company’s unredeemed preferred stock have received $7,575,000.  The Company can make no assurances as to whether the holders of its preferred stock or Common Stock will ultimately receive any cash or other property or as to the amount, if any, that they may receive in respect thereof.

Item 2.01        Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Item 3.03        Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

Pursuant to the Plan and the Confirmation Order, all equity interests of the Company, including but not limited to all outstanding shares of Common Stock, preferred stock, options, warrants or contractual or other rights to acquire any equity interests, were cancelled and extinguished on the Effective Date. The Record Date for the holders of Common Stock eligible to receive a distribution, if any, from the Liquidating Trust, is February 11, 2010.

On the Effective Date, the Company filed a cease trading request with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.  Accordingly, as of the Effective Date, the Company’s Common Stock ceased trading and was removed from the OTC quotation systems list.  The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister its Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and provide notice of the suspension of the Company's reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  Upon filing the Form 15, the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be immediately suspended.

Item 5.01        Changes in Control of Registrant.

Pursuant to the Plan and the Confirmation Order, all equity interests of the Company, including but not limited to all outstanding shares of Common Stock, preferred stock, options, warrants or contractual or other rights to acquire any equity interests, were cancelled and extinguished on the Effective Date.  As of the Effective Date, and as contemplated by the Plan, one new share of Company common stock, representing the entire equity interest in the Company, was issued to the Liquidating Trust.
