COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. COMPLETES
REGISTRATION OF 9.75% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2026

FRISCO, TEXAS, April 16, 2019 — Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock" or the "Company") (NYSE: CRK) announced today that the registration statement for its 9¾% Senior Notes due 2026 has been declared effective.  Accordingly, Comstock has commenced an offer to exchange all of its outstanding 9¾% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Original Notes"), which are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for an equal principal amount of newly issued 9¾% Senior Notes due 2026 that have been registered under the Securities Act (the "Exchange Notes").

Comstock is making this exchange offer to satisfy its obligations under a registration rights agreement entered into when it issued the Original Notes.

Pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer, Comstock will accept for exchange any and all Original Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 14, 2019 (the "Expiration Date"), unless extended.
