Item

of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plans.
As
previously disclosed by the Registrant on Form 8-K, the Registrant sent a notice
on February 29, 2008 (the "Notice") to its directors and executive officers
informing them of a blackout period pursuant to Regulation BTR during the period
beginning on April 1, 2008 at 4 pm (Eastern Time) and ending May 30, 2008
(the "Blackout Period").
The Registrant has determined that the
Blackout Period will be able to terminate on May 9, 2008 because the
transition to a new recordkeeper is complete and did not take as long as
anticipated. The Registrant sent a notice to its directors and
executive officers (the "Updated Notice") on May 8, 2008 regarding the end
of the Blackout Period. A copy of the Updated Notice is being filed
as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference in its
entirety.
Questions concerning the Blackout
Period can be addressed to Roland Burns at 5300 Town & Country Blvd., Suite
500, Frisco, TX 75034, Tel. 972 668-8800.

NOTICE

COMSTOCK
RESOURCES, INC.
Restrictions
on Trading Comstock Resources, Inc. Common Stock
During
the 401(k) Plan Blackout Period
The
Company has previously provided notice to you regarding its determination to
change the recordkeeper for the Comstock Resources, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the
"Plan"), effective April 1, 2008. In order to implement this
transition, Plan activity was restricted such that Plan participants would
not be able to direct or diversify the investments in their Plan accounts,
including transactions involving shares of Comstock Resources common stock, or
obtain distributions from the Plan for a specified period of time (the "Blackout
Period"). During the Blackout Period, the Company's directors and
executive officers were subject to trading restrictions, pursuant to Section 306
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC's Regulation Blackout Trading
Restriction.
Termination
of Blackout Period
We
previously informed you that the Blackout Period would begin at 4:00 pm (Eastern
Time) on April 1, 2008 and was expected to end on May 30, 2008. In
fact, the Blackout Period will end on May 9, 2008, because the transition to a
new recordkeeper for the Plan is complete and did not take as long as
anticipated. There is no other change in the information previously
provided to you.
Questions
If you
have any questions concerning transactions in the Company's common stock, this
notice or the Blackout Period, including whether the Blackout Period has started
or ended, please contact Roland Burns at 5300 Town & Country Blvd., Suite
