ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On December 30, 2011, Lucas Energy, Inc. (the "Company" or "Lucas") affected the transactions contemplated by a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and Hall Phoenix Energy, LLC (“HPE”).  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Company purchased all of HPE’s right, title and interest in and to certain oil and gas interests totaling approximately 5,500 net acres in Wilson, Leon and Madison Counties, Texas (the “Interests”).  The effective date of acquisition of the Interests by the Company was December 1, 2011. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Company acquired all rights to any overriding interests, mineral and royalty interests and other property interests in the property, all rights to any wells on the property, all contractual rights associated with the property, all easements, permits, equipment and oil, gas and other hydrocarbons on the property, as well as all data associated with the property.  

The Company paid HPE total consideration of 2,824 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into an aggregate of 2,824,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as described below), which were valued at $6.354 million dollars in consideration for the purchase of the Interests.

ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement described above, the Company issued HPE 2,824 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company which are convertible as described below into an aggregate of 2,824,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  

The Company claims an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) for the foregoing issuance as the recipient was an “accredited investor” and took the shares for investment and not resale, the Company took appropriate measures to restrict transfer, and the recipient had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Act.

ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.

Effective December 29, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation, establishing the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with the Secretary of State of Nevada, which designation was previously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has no voting rights, no liquidation rights and no redemption rights, but have conversion rights.  The conversion rights provide the holder thereof the right to convert each Series B Convertible Preferred Stock share into 1,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

ITEM 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
