GENERAL

The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of
Calcasieu Real Estate and Oil Co., Inc. (the "Company") for use at the Annual
Meeting of Stockholders to be held April 26, 2001, at the time and place and for
the purposes set forth in accompanying Notice of Meeting. The date of this Proxy
Statement is March 5, 2001.

The shares represented by any proxy in the enclosed form, if it is properly
executed and received at or prior to the meeting, will be voted in accordance
with the specifications made thereon. Proxies received on which no specification
is made will be voted for setting the number of directors at nine and for
election as directors the nine nominees named herein. Proxies are revocable by
written notice to the Secretary at any time prior to their exercise and will be
deemed revoked by attendance and voting at the meeting.

All expenses of preparing, printing and mailing the proxy and all materials
used in solicitation will be borne by the Company. Proxies may also be solicited
in person or by telephone or fax by directors, officers and other employees of
the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation for such
services. The Company will also request brokerage houses, custodians and
nominees to forward these materials to the beneficial owners of the stock held
of record by them and pay the reasonable expenses of such persons for forwarding
the material.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2001,
are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. On that date, the Company
had outstanding 1,951,446 shares of common stock, each of which is entitled to
one vote.

ELECTIONS OF DIRECTORS

The Articles of Incorporation of the company provide that the number of
directors shall be not less than five nor more than fifteen. The exact number
will be determined by

the vote of the stockholders, and a resolution will be offered at the meeting to
fix the number of directors at nine.

Each director will hold office for one year and until his successor is
elected and qualified. It is the intention of the persons named in the
accompanying proxy to vote in favor of the resolution fixing the number of
directors at nine and in favor of the election of the nine nominees named below.
If any nominee becomes unavailable for any reason, the shares represented by the
proxies will be voted for such person, if any, as may be designated by the Board
of Directors. Management has, however, no reason to believe that any nominee
will be unavailable.

At the 2000 annual meeting of shareholders, 1,117,351 shares, or 56.6% of
the 1,974,352 shares outstanding, voted. In excess of 99% of the shares cast
were voted for election of each nominee for director.

The information set forth below as to age, principal occupation or
employment, and amount and nature of beneficial ownership of common stock of the
Company has been furnished by each nominee for election. Unless otherwise
indicated, (i) all nominees have been with the same organization in essentially
the same position as listed below for the past five years, and (ii) the nominees
own, with sole voting and investment power, the shares listed.
