Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On January 17, 2002, Texas Nevada Oil & Gas Co., a Texas corporation
("TNOG"), merged with and into Houston American Energy Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Plan and
Agreement of Merger entered into between TNOG and the Company as of September
26, 2001 (the "Plan of Merger"). TNOG, a fully reporting public company under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), held and
operated all of the mineral interests of its parent, Unicorp, Inc., in the State
of Texas prior to 1992. Since that time, TNOG has not conducted any material
business activities.

     The Plan of Merger is set forth as Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein in its entirety by reference in response to this Item. The
description of the terms and provisions of the Plan of Merger contained in this
Form 8-K is a summary only, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
such document.

     Pursuant to the Plan of Merger, the Company's stockholders will retain
their current shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share
("HAEC Common Stock"), an aggregate of 11,403,414 shares, and the shareholders
of TNOG will receive one share of HAEC Common Stock for each share of TNOG's
common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("TNOG Common Stock"), surrendered to
the Company. If all of TNOG's shareholders elect to surrender their shares of
TNOG Common Stock, the Company will issue an aggregate of 596,469 shares of HAEC
Common Stock (or approximately 4.97 percent of the then outstanding shares) to
TNOG's shareholders.

     As the surviving entity in the merger, the Company succeeded to all of
TNOG's assets and liabilities and TNOG's separate existence ceased.
Additionally, the Company succeeded to TNOG's status as a fully reporting public
company under the Exchange Act. If desired, additional information regarding the
merger can be found in the Company's registration statement on Form S-4 filed
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and
available on the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system
(EDGAR), which registered the resale of (i) the shares of the HAEC Common Stock
to be issued to TNOG's shareholders as a result of the merger, and (ii) the
shares of the HAEC Common Stock held by the Company's current stockholders other
than John F. Terwilliger, the Company's sole director and executive officer.

     The merger of TNOG with and into the Company was approved by the written
consent of all of the Company's stockholders and the written consent of the
holders of over two-thirds of the outstanding TNOG Common Stock. There are no
material relationships between TNOG or any of TNOG's shareholders and the
Company, the Company's affiliates, directors, or officers, or any associate of
the Company's directors or officers.

the SEC on August 3, 2001, as amended, is hereby incorporated by reference.
