For Immediate Release

COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. ANNOUNCES
$67.2 MILLION OIL & GAS PROPERTY ACQUISITION

FRISCO, TEXAS, August 21, 2006 — Comstock Resources, Inc. (“Comstock” or the “Company”)(NYSE:CRK) announced today that it has agreed to purchase certain oil and gas properties from Denali Oil & Gas Partners LP, Stalker Energy, LP and other working interest owners for $67.2 million, effective August 1, 2006. With the acquisition, Comstock will acquire producing properties in the Las Hermanitas field in Duval County in South Texas. The properties being acquired include three producing wells that are currently producing approximately 6.4 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Comstock estimates that these properties have proved reserves of approximately 20.2 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) of natural gas. Approximately 43% of the proved reserves are in the proved developed category. The undeveloped reserves primarily relate to four proved undeveloped locations to be drilled. Future development costs related to the proved reserves are estimated to be $17.5 million.

In addition to the proved reserves, Comstock estimates that the properties being acquired have probable reserves of 14.7 Bcf which relate to eight drilling locations not included in the proved reserves. Comstock has identified an additional six possible drilling locations which have an additional 8 Bcf of reserves. The transaction is expected to close in September 2006 and will be funded with borrowings under Comstock’s bank credit facility.

“This transaction will build up our South Texas operating region and has substantial upside beyond the proved reserves from the eighteen identified drilling locations,” stated M. Jay Allison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comstock.
