Item 3.01.     Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

(d)       On February 12, 2009, the Board of Directors of AMEN Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously voted to delist its common stock from the Nasdaq Capital market (“Nasdaq”) and to voluntarily terminate the registration of its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  In connection therewith, the Company notified Nasdaq on February 13, 2009 of the Company’s intention to file Form 25 on or about February 23, 2009.  The Company anticipates that the Form 25 will become effective ten (10) days following its filing.

On or about March 5, 2009, the effective date of delisting, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to voluntarily effect the deregistration of its common stock.  The Company is eligible to deregister by filing Form 15 because it has fewer than 300 holders of record of its common stock.  Upon the filing of the form 15, the Company’s obligations to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, will immediately be suspended.  The Company expects the deregistration to become effective ninety (90) days after filing the Form 15 with the SEC.
