Dow Jones Description

Our company was founded in December of 1996 by a management-led buyout of Comstock Natural Gas. Prior to the founding of Crosstex Energy, the company operated since 1994 as Comstock Natural Gas, a subsidiary of Comstock Resources. CNG was formed by the acquisition of Ventana Natural Gas, a company founded by Barry Davis. One of the assets held by the company in 1996 was an east Texas system called Crosstex Pipeline. This system became the namesake for our entire company upon its formation. Since the beginning, our plan has been to provide the necessary midstream natural gas services to energy producers and consumers. Crosstex has grown rapidly, expanding from Texas into five states along the Gulf Coast, and from 9 employees to over 750 today.
