TXCO Resources Provides Independent Engineering Assessment

Of the Contingent Resources of the Maverick County Basin Tar Sands

SAN ANTONIO - Nov. 29, 2007 - TXCO Resources Inc. (NASDAQ:TXCO) today announced that it retained DeGolyer and MacNaughton (D&M), the Company’s current independent reservoir engineering firm, to prepare a contingent resources report to confirm the Company’s internal estimates of its Maverick Basin tar sands project. The contingent resources of TXCO’s San Miguel tar sands were evaluated by D&M using probabilistic analysis of certain parameters related to the quantity of petroleum present and recoverable in discovered accumulations.

Contingent resources are defined in accordance with the Petroleum Resources Management System approved in February 2007 by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the World Petroleum Council, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers. The discovered accumulations may be developed in the future depending on economic and market conditions, additional well data, or seismic information.

About the Contingent Resources Report

The contingent resource estimates in the report to TXCO are provided as a means of comparison to other contingent resources and do not provide a means of direct comparison to the Company’s total proved reserves. Further, contingent resources may include accumulations where future recovery is dependent on the development of new technology, or where evaluation of the accumulation is still at an early stage.

The estimates of potentially recoverable petroleum resources in the report are expressed using the terms low estimate, median estimate, best estimate, and high estimate to reflect the range of uncertainty.

·   The “low estimate” reported is the P90 quantity derived from the probabilistic analysis. This means that there is at least a 90 percent probability that, assuming the accumulation is discovered and developed, the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.

·   The “median estimate” is the P50 quantity derived from probabilistic analysis. This means that there is at least a 50 percent probability that, assuming the accumulation is discovered and developed, the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the median estimate.

·   The “high estimate” is the P10 quantity derived from the probabilistic analysis. This means that there is at least a 10 percent probability that, assuming the accumulation is discovered and developed, the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate.

·   The “best estimate” is the expected value, an outcome of the probabilistic analysis.

The contingent resource estimated in the report is defined as that quantity of oil estimated on a given date to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations but is not currently economic. There is no certainty that it will be economically viable or technically feasible to produce any portion of the resource. Because of the uncertainty of commerciality, the contingent resources estimated cannot be classified as reserves. TXCO believes that these contingent resources are not known to be economic at the present time of its exploration and development work; however, TXCO believes that there is a market for these resources.

DeGolyer and MacNaughton is a worldwide petroleum engineering firm that performs a variety of services to the upstream petroleum industry including the evaluation of hydrocarbon potential of exploration areas, the estimation and classification of reserves and the verification of hydrocarbon reserves.

San Miguel Project Update

The Company has two pilot projects in various stages of exploration and development on its San Miguel tar sand project. On pilot number one, bottom hole temperatures have increased to approximately 365° F after three cycles. TXCO is preparing to start steam injection for a fourth cycle this week. Meanwhile, reservoir modeling programs are being fine tuned to determine optimal well placement for expanding the existing pilot using new, horizontal wells. Additional steam generation equipment for the expansion should be delivered by mid-January 2008.

Work is progressing on the design of the second tar sand pilot. Initial drilling activities have been scheduled in coordination with expected deliveries of two additional 50 MMBtu steam generators during the second quarter of 2008. This pilot will replicate the fracture-assisted steamflood technology (FAST) recovery method Conoco employed successfully on the San Miguel tar deposit in the early 1980s, recovering more than 300,000 barrels, or 50 percent of the original oil in place.

- More -

As operator and 50 percent working interest owner, TXCO estimates its net cost for drilling and equipping the pilots will be approximately $10 million through mid 2008.
