FOR TRADING IN EQUITY SECURITIES

Come on for consideration the Debtors’ Motion for Order Under 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 362 and 541 Establishing Notification and Hearing Procedures for Trading in Equity Securities (the “Motion”1). The Court finds that (i) it has jurisdiction over the matters raised in the Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334; (ii) this is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2); (iii) the relief requested in the Motion is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and their creditors; (iv) proper and adequate notice of the Motion has been given and that no other or further notice is necessary; (v) all objections to the Motion have been resolved by this

1 Capitalized terms unless otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Motion.

Order or are overruled in their entirety; (vi) the relief provided for herein is necessary to prevent immediate and irreparable injury to Debtors and Debtors’ Estates; and (vii) upon the record herein after due deliberation thereon good and sufficient cause exists for the granting of the relief as set forth herein.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Motion is hereby granted on an interim basis;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any purchase, sale, or other transfer of equity securities in the Debtors on and after the Petition Date in violation of the procedures set forth herein (including the notice requirements set forth below) shall be null and void ab initio as an act in violation of the automatic stay under Bankruptcy Code sections 105(a) and 362;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the following procedure shall apply to trading in equity securities of TXCO Resources Inc.:

(a) Any person or entity (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.382-3(a)) who currently is or becomes a Substantial Shareholder (as defined in paragraph (e) below) shall file with this Court, and serve on the Debtors and counsel to the Debtors, a notice of such status in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, on or before the later of (A) 25 days after the date of entry of this Order or (B) ten days after becoming a Substantial Shareholder.

(b) Prior to effectuating any transfer of TXCO Stock (including options to acquire stock, as defined in paragraph (e) below) that would result in an increase in the amount of TXCO Stock beneficially owned by a Substantial Shareholder or would result in a person’s or entity’s becoming a Substantial Shareholder, such Substantial Shareholder shall file with this Court, and serve on the Debtors and counsel to the Debtors, advance written notice, of the intended transfer of equity securities in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

(c) Prior to effectuating any transfer of TXCO Stock (including options to acquire stock, as defined in paragraph (e) below) that would result in a decrease in the amount of TXCO Stock beneficially owned by a Substantial Shareholder or would result in a person or entity’s ceasing to be a Substantial Shareholder, such Substantial Shareholder shall file with this Court, and serve on the Debtors and counsel to the Debtors, advance written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3, of the intended transfer of equity securities (the notices required to be filed and served under paragraph (b) and this paragraph (c), each a “Notice of Proposed Transfer”).

(d) The Debtors shall have 20 calendar days after receipt of a Notice of Proposed Transfer to file with this Court and serve on such Substantial Shareholder an objection to any proposed transfer of TXCO Stock described in the Notice of Proposed Transfer on the grounds that such transfer may adversely affect the Debtors’ ability to utilize their Tax Attributes. If the Debtors file an objection, such transaction will not be effective unless approved by a final and nonappealable order of the Court. If the Debtors do not object within such 20-day period, such transaction may proceed solely as set forth in the Notice of Proposed Transfer. Further transactions within the scope of this paragraph must be the subject of additional notices as set forth herein, each with an additional 20-day waiting period.

(e) For purposes of this Order, (A) a “Substantial Shareholder” is any person or entity which beneficially owns at least 1,730,000 shares (representing approximately 4.50% of all issued and outstanding shares) of TXCO Stock, (B) “beneficial ownership” shall be determined in accordance with applicable rules under I.R.C. § 382, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service, and thus, to the extent provided therein, from time to time shall include, without limitation, direct and indirect ownership (e.g., a holding company would be considered to beneficially own all shares owned or acquired by its subsidiaries), ownership by such holder’s family members and persons acting in concert with such holder to make a coordinated acquisition of stock, and ownership of shares which such holder has an option to acquire, and (C) an “option” to acquire stock includes any contingent purchase, warrant, convertible debt, put, stock subject to risk of forfeiture, contract to acquire stock, or similar interest, regardless of whether it is contingent or otherwise not currently exercisable.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Debtors may waive, in writing and in their sole and absolute discretion, any and all restrictions, stays, and notification procedures contained in this Order;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Debtors shall serve a Notice of Order setting forth the procedures authorized herein substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 on (a) the United States Trustee for the Western District of Texas; (b) the Securities and Exchange Commission; (c) the Internal Revenue Service; (d) the United States Attorney’s Office for Western District of Texas; (e) counsel to the Debtors’ proposed postpetition lenders; (f) counsel to the Debtors’ prepetition lenders; (g) any parties who have filed a notice of appearance prior to the date of service of this Order; (h) the parties on the Debtors’ consolidated list of thirty largest

unsecured creditors; (i) those entities who the Debtors currently believe to constitute Substantial Shareholders and (j) the transfer agents for any class of TXCO Stock;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Debtors will also file a copy of this Order as an exhibit to a report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no further notice of this Order need be served by the Debtors;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any transfer agent for any TXCO Stock is required to send the Notice of Order to all holders of such stock in excess of 1,730,000 shares registered with such transfer agent; provided, however, that, if any transfer agent provides the Debtors, through their counsel, Cox Smith Matthews Incorporated, Attn: Allison Seifert, 112 E. Pecan Street, Suite 1800, San Antonio, Texas 78205, Fax (210) 226-8395, with the name and addresses of all holders of such stock, the Debtors would be required to deliver the Notice of Order to such holders;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any such registered holder would be required, in turn, to provide such Notice of Order to any holder for whose account such registered holder holds such stock in excess of 1,730,000 shares, and so on down the chain of ownership;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any person, entity, broker or agent acting on their behalf who sells 1,730,000 shares of TXCO Stock (or an option with respect thereto) to another person or entity would be required to provide a copy of the Notice of Order to such purchaser or any broker or agent acting on their behalf, to the extent reasonably feasible;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the requirements set forth in this Order are in addition to all applicable securities, corporate and other laws, and do not excuse compliance therewith;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to all matters relating to the interpretation or implementation of this Order;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the relief provided in this Order is granted on an interim basis. Any objection to this relief being granted on a final basis must be in writing and both filed with the Court and served upon counsel for the Debtors so as to be actually received no later than June 8, 2009; and

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if no objections are timely filed and actually received as set forth herein, or if all timely filed and actually received objections are withdrawn or overruled, this Order shall automatically become final and non-appealable without further order of this Court.
