Item 2.02                      Results of Operations and Financial Condition


On August 4, 2014, Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock") announced financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014.  A copy of the press release announcing Comstock's earnings and operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and other matters is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The earnings press release contains financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").  Comstock has provided reconciliations within the earnings release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.  Operating cash flow is presented in the earnings release because management believes it to be useful to investors as a common alternative measure of cash flows.  EBITDAX is presented in the earnings release because management believes that EBITDAX, which represents Comstock's results from operations before interest, income taxes, and certain non-cash items, including depreciation, depletion and amortization and exploration expense, is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by certain investors and financial analysts.  The non-GAAP financial measures described above should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are presented in the earnings release.

The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.


Item 9.01                      Financial Statements and Exhibits

Press Release dated August 4, 2014.
