( ) (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by

PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 10-KSB,
11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report portion thereof, could
not be filed with the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed.)
The Registrant has not yet completed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000, pending the completion of its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Registrant has been unable
to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K because the audit of the Registrant's
financial statements has not been completed, as explained in the Registrant's
filing on Form 12b-25 in connection therewith. The audit of the Registrant's
year end financial statements has commenced and the Registrant will file its
Form 10-Q for the March 31, 2000, quarter after the audit is complete and it has
filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification
Larry Ramming (713) 621-7911
--------------- ----- ------------------
(Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number)
(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter) period that the
registrant was required to file such reports) been filed? If answer is no
identify report(s).
YES _____ NO X
The Registrant has not yet filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
YES X NO ____
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.
Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, will not be completed until the
audit of the Registrant's results for the year ended December 31, 1999, is
completed. As mentioned in its Form 12b-25 in connection with the delay in
filing its annual report on Form 10-K, the Registrant anticipates reporting a
significant increase in losses in comparison to its fiscal year ended December
31, 1998, due to the effect of decreased activity in the exploration and
production business sectors during this period, as well as losses due to the
classification of its ITS subsidiary as a discontinued operation effective
December 31, 1999. The Registrant is unable to make a reasonable estimate of
its results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, as its efforts
to date have focused on the completion of the audit of its results of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1999.
