ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT 

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 29, 2008, TXCO Resources Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the buyers listed therein on February 28, 2008 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") related to the sale, in a private placement, of an aggregate of $20 million of shares of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) and the exchange of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock"). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the buyers had the option to purchase up to an additional $30 million of shares of Series D Preferred Stock by delivering written notice to the Company on or prior to March 20, 2008 (or, at the Company’s option, May 20, 2008).  On March 20, 2008, the Company received a notice from one of the buyers electing to exercise its option to purchase an additional 13,909 shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share.  The closing of the sale of the additional 13,909 shares of Series D Preferred Stock occurred on April 4, 2008.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock to complement funding of the Company’s 2008 CAPEX drilling program and to purchase. In addition, the Company will use the proceeds to purchase its convertible preferred stock hedge transaction, or “call spread”. In addition, the Company may use the proceeds in the short term to repay certain outstanding indebtedness, as well as other general corporate and working capital purposes.

In connection with the offer and sale of the additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Company has entered into convertible preferred stock hedge transactions, or “call spread” transactions, with the buyer of the additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Counterparty”). These transactions are intended to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock, if the market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise is greater than approximately 120% of the issue price (which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock). These transactions include a purchased call option and a sold call option. The Company’s net cost for these transactions totals $927,280, which the Company will pay using a portion of the net proceeds of the sale of the additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The purchased call option covers approximately the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which, under most circumstances, represents the maximum number of shares of common stock underlying the additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The sold call option has an exercise price of 150% of the issue price and is expected to result in some dilution should the price of the Company’s common stock exceed this exercise price. The call spread transactions are separate agreements with the Counterparty; they are not governed by the Securities Purchase Agreement. Copies of the Call Option Transaction documents are filed as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

This summary of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Call Spread Transactions does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the transaction documents, filed herewith and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively.  There are representations and warranties contained in the transaction documents that were made by the parties to each other as of specific dates.  The assertions embodied in the representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the transaction documents and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the transaction documents’ terms.  Moreover, certain representations and warranties may not be accurate and complete as of any specified date because (i) they may be subject to contractual standards of materiality that differ from standards generally applicable to shareholders, or (ii) they may have been used to allocate risk among the parties rather than to establish matters as facts. Based on the foregoing you should not rely on the representations and warranties as statements of factual information
 
ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES 

Preferred Stock 

On April 4, 2008, in a private placement transaction, the Company issued and sold 13,909 additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The purchase price for each share of Series D Preferred Stock was $1,000. The shares were issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 thereunder.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock to complement funding of the Company’s 2008 CAPEX drilling program and to purchase. In addition, the Company will use the proceeds to purchase its convertible preferred stock hedge transaction, or “call spread”. In addition, the Company may use the proceeds in the short term to repay certain outstanding indebtedness, as well as other general corporate and working capital purposes.

Under the terms of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of TXCO Resources Inc. (the “Series D Certificate”), which has been filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price of $14.48 per share, as may be adjusted in accordance with the Series D Certificate. On conversion, the Company is to pay the holders “make whole” amounts (i.e., amounts totaling three years of dividends less any dividends actually paid) and “additional” amounts (i.e., accrued but unpaid scheduled dividends) as set forth in the Series D Certificate. Holders of such Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, payable quarterly in cash or, under certain conditions, the Company’s common stock, at the rate of 6.5% per annum (or 12% during the continuance of a “Triggering Event” as defined in the Series D Certificate). The Company may force the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock at the applicable conversion rate if its common stock trades for 30 consecutive trading days at a weighted average price that exceeds 175% of the conversion price, in which case the Company must pay the holders “make whole” amounts and “additional” amounts as set forth in the Series D Certificate. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, holders of the Series D Preferred Stock may require the Company to repurchase their shares for cash at 103% of the adjusted conversion amount, plus 100% of accrued but unpaid dividends, plus the “make whole” amount. Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock may force the Company to redeem their stock (and pay a premium) on the occurrence of certain Triggering Events, which include the Company’s failures to convert Series D Preferred Stock to common stock in accordance with the Certificate; failures to pay amounts due to holders; and breaches of representations, warranties, or covenants in the transaction documents.

The Series D Preferred Stock ranks in priority senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to preferences as to dividends, distributions, and payments upon the Company’s liquidation. The Series D Certificate prohibits the Company from authorizing or issuing additional capital stock that is senior or equal in rank to the Series D Preferred Stock without the express written consent of holders at least 80% of the aggregated shares of each of the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock, each voting as a separate class, then outstanding. The Series D Certificate limits the amount of common stock a holder may acquire via conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to 9.99%.

This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series D Certificate filed as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Call Option

On April 4, 2008, the Company also sold a call option to a Counterparty, as more fully described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The call option was sold to an accredited investor that is the buyer of the additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The call option was issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 thereunder.

ITEM 3.03 MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
Following the issuance of the additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock referenced in Items 1.01 and 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company’s ability to pay dividends on, make distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or acquire its common stock is subject to the Company’s obtaining the express written consent of holders of at least 80% of the then outstanding aggregated shares of each of the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock, each voting as a separate class.

ITEM 8.01 OTHER INFORMATION
