This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") is being filed
by Cadell S. Liedtke (the "Reporting Person") to reflect a change in the
beneficial ownership of the Reporting Person of the Common Stock, $0.10 par
value (the "Common Stock"), of Costilla Energy, Inc. (the "Company") from such
beneficial ownership reflected in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting
Person on October 18, 1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed
by the Reporting Person on November 15, 1996, by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule
13D ("Amendment No. 2") filed by the Reporting Person on November 3, 1998, by
Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on January 8,
1999, by Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on May
19, 1999, by Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on
June 10, 1999 and by Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting
Person on July 29, 1999 (collectively, the "Original 13D").
The changes in the percentage of beneficial ownership reported herein
are the result of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person which have
been involuntarily sold pursuant to financing arrangements since Amendment No. 6
(see Item 5 hereof).
Only those items of Schedule 13D, or portions thereof, being amended
are included in this Amendment. Except as expressly amended and modified by this
Amendment, the Original 13D remains unchanged and in full force and effect.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER
(a) As of July 31, 1999, the Reporting Person beneficially owned
1,302,460 shares of Common Stock constituting 9.2% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (14,101,580 shares).
(b) The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or to direct the
vote and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of all of the
shares of Common Stock attributed to the Reporting Person in paragraph (a) of
this Item 5, except for 60,000 shares held by the Liedtke Foundation (as
hereinafter defined). The Reporting Person is a director of the Liedtke
Foundation and shares voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common

Foundation.
(c) The Reporting Person financed certain purchases of shares of Common
Stock under a brokerage account arrangement that the Reporting Person has with

Margin Agreement (the "Account Agreement"). The Marion and Cadell S. Liedtke
Family Charitable Foundation (the "Liedtke Foundation"), through which the
Reporting Person beneficially owns shares, has also entered into an Account
Agreement with Prudential. The form of Account Agreement entered into between
Prudential and the Reporting Person and the Liedtke foundation is substantially
similar in all material respects (other than the name of the accountholder, the
date of execution, and other details), and a copy of the form of the Account
Agreement was attached as an exhibit to Amendment No. 2 and is incorporated
herein by reference for a description of the terms of the financing arrangements
pursuant to which the Reporting Person has borrowed funds for the purchases of
Common Stock. To further secure borrowings under the Account Agreement of the

Reporting Person, the Reporting Person has entered into a Pledge Agreement with
Prudential whereby the Reporting Person has pledged certain of the shares of
Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person. A copy of the form of Pledge
Agreement was attached as an exhibit to Amendment No. 2 and is incorporated
herein by reference for a description of the terms of the pledge of share of
Common Stock by the Reporting Person, which include the right to sell shares
under certain circumstances.
The Reporting Person has effected the following transactions in shares
of Common Stock during the sixty (60) days prior to the signature date hereof,
