If you do not expect to be present, please sign and date the enclosed form of Proxy and return it promptly using the enclosed envelope. No postage is required if mailed in the United States.

EXTERRA ENERGY INC. 1717 St. James Place, Suite 205 Houston, Texas 77056 (713) 877-8847 PROXY STATEMENT November 10, 2008 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING Why am I receiving these materials? We have sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because the Board of Directors of Exterra Energy Inc. is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders including at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. You are invited to attend the annual meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy. The Company intends to mail this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about November 10, 2008 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Who can vote at the annual meeting? Only stockholders of record at the close of business on October 27, 2008 will be entitled to vote at the annual meeting. On this record date, there were approximately 29,774,054 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name If on October 27, 2008, your shares were registered directly in your name with Exterra Energy Inc.'s transfer agent, Holladay Stock Transfer, Inc., then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted. Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank If on October 27, 2008, your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the annual meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares 1 in your account. You are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent. What am I voting on? There are six matters scheduled for a vote: o Election of five Directors; o Approval of the Exterra Energy Inc. Stock Option Plan and to reserve 3,000,000 shares of common stock for the issuance thereunder; o Approval of an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company which increases the aggregate number of shares which the Company shall have the authority to issue from 75,000,000 to 76,000,000 shares, of which 75,000,000 shares are to be common stock of a par value of $0.001 each and 1,000,000 shares shall be preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 each, which series, rights and preferences shall be set by the Company's Board of Directors; o Ratification of the Star of Texas asset acquisition; o Ratification of the issuance of shares of common stock for the settlement of debts and obligations resulting from the Star of Texas asset acquisition; and o Ratification of Malone & Bailey, PC as independent auditors of the Company for its fiscal year ending May 31, 2008; How do I vote? You may either vote "For" all the nominees to the Board of Directors or you may "Withhold" your vote for any nominee you specify. For each of the other matters to be voted on, you may vote "For" or "Against" or abstain from voting. The procedures for voting are fairly simple: Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the annual meeting or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted by proxy. o To vote in person, come to the annual meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive. 2 o To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the annual meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct. Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from Exterra Energy Inc. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote in person at the annual meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank, or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form. How many votes do I have? Each share of common stock entitles the holder as of October 27, 2008 to one vote on any matter coming before the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices? If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted "FOR" the election of all five nominees for Director; "FOR the approval of the Stock Option Plan, "FOR" the authorization of the preferred stock, "FOR" the ratification of the Star of Texas assets, "FOR" the ratification of the stock for debt settlement, and "FOR" the ratification of Malone & Bailey, PC as independent auditors of the Company for its fiscal year ending May 31, 2009. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment. Who is paying for this proxy solicitation? We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our Directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may, however, reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card? If you receive more than one proxy card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted. 3 Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy? Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways: o You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date. o You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to Exterra Energy Inc.'s Secretary at 1717 St. James Place, Suite 205, Houston, Texas 77056. o You may attend the annual meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy. If your shares are held by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or bank. When are stockholder proposals due for next year's annual meeting? To be considered for inclusion in next year's proxy materials, your proposal must be submitted in writing by May 31, 2009. If you wish to bring a matter before the stockholders at next year's annual meeting and you do not notify the Company a reasonable time before the Company sends its proxy materials for the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, for all proxies we receive, the proxyholders will have discretionary authority to vote on the matter, including discretionary authority to vote in opposition to the matter. How are votes counted? Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count "For" and "Withhold," abstentions and broker non-votes and, with respect to proposals other than the election of Directors, "Against" votes. Abstentions will be counted towards the vote total for each proposal, and will have the same effect as "Against" votes, when applicable. Broker non-votes have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total for any proposal. What are "broker non-votes"? Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed "non-routine." Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be "routine," but not with respect to "non-routine" matters. 4 How many votes are needed to approve each proposal? o For the election of Directors, the five nominees receiving the most "For" votes (from the holders of votes of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of Directors) will be elected. Only votes "For" or "Withheld" will affect the outcome. o To be approved, Proposal No. 2: the approval of the Stock Option Plan must receive "For" votes from the holders of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote either in person or by proxy. If you "Abstain" from voting, it will have the same effect as an "Against" vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect. o To be approved, Proposal No. 3: the approval of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to authorize preferred shares must receive "For" votes from the holders of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote either in person or by proxy. If you "Abstain" from voting, it will have the same effect as an "Against" vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect. o To be approved, Proposal No. 4: the Ratification of the Star of Texas asset acquisition must receive "For" votes from the holders of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote either in person or by proxy. If you "Abstain" from voting, it will have the same effect as an "Against" vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect. o To be approved, Proposal No. 5: the Ratification of the issuance of shares of common stock for the settlement of debts and obligations resulting from the Star of Texas asset acquisition must receive "For" votes from the holders of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote either in person or by proxy. If you "Abstain" from voting, it will have the same effect as an "Against" vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect. o To be approved, Proposal No. 6: the Ratification of Malone & Bailey, PC as independent auditors of the Company for its fiscal year ending May 31, 2008 must receive "For" votes from the holders of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote either in person or by proxy. If you "Abstain" from voting, it will have the same effect as an "Against" vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect. What is the quorum requirement? A quorum of stockholders for each action to be voted upon at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be present. A quorum for each action will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to cast a vote on such action are present at the meeting in person or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were approximately 29,774,054 shares outstanding and entitled to vote on each of the actions to be voted upon. Thus, the holders of approximately 15,184,768 shares must be present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting to have a quorum. 5 Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the holders of a majority of shares present at the meeting in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting to another date. How can I find out the results of the voting at the annual meeting? Preliminary voting results will be announced at the annual meeting. Final voting results will be published on the Company's website, announced to the financial press and published in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Exterra Energy Inc. (the "Company") of proxies in the form enclosed.

APPROVAL OF THE EXTERRA ENERGY STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company's Board of Directors adopted a combined incentive stock option and non-statutory stock option plan (the "Plan") on October 27, 2008 that provides for the grant to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company of options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. Options under the Plan may be either "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or options that do not qualify as incentive stock options ("non-statutory") issued to non-employee directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The Plan is subject to Shareholder ratification. A copy of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Purpose of the Plan The purpose of the Plan is to further the interests of the Company by providing incentives for officers and other key employees of the Company as well as consultants and directors of the Company who may be designated for participation in the Plan and to provide additional means of attracting and retaining competent personnel in responsible positions. 11 Description of the Plan Under the Plan, the Board of Directors ("Board") may from time to time grant options to participants entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of the Company's authorized and unissued common stock up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares. Of this aggregate total, 2,250,000 shares shall be designated for offers of Incentive Stock Options to Employees and 750,000 for Non-Statutory Options for Consultants, Directors, and Employees of the Company. If any option granted under the Plan terminates or expires unexercised, the shares released from option may be made the subject of additional options granted under the Plan of the same type as the terminated or expired option. If there is any change in the Company's shares of common stock, as by stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalization, the number of shares available for option and the shares subject to option shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board. The Board determines those individuals who shall receive options, the time period during which the options may be partially or fully exercised, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under each option and the option price. The per share exercise price of the common stock subject to incentive and non-qualified stock options granted pursuant to the Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. Under the Plan, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date the option is granted) of the common stock that first became exercisable by any employee in any one calendar year pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options may not exceed $100,000. No person who owns, directly or indirectly, at the time of the granting of an incentive stock option to him, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (a "10% Stockholder"), shall be eligible to receive any incentive stock options under the Plan unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option, determined on the date of grant. Non-qualified options are not subject to this limitation. No incentive stock option may be transferred by an optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of an optionee, the option will be exercisable only by the optionee. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, in the event of termination of employment, other than by death or permanent total disability, the options terminate immediately. The Plan provides that upon termination of employment of an optionee by reason of death or permanent, total disability, an option remains exercisable for one year thereafter to the extent it was exercisable on the date of such termination. Options under the Plan must be granted within 10 years from the effective date thereof. Incentive stock options granted under the Plan cannot be exercised more than 10 years from the date of grant, except that incentive stock options issued to a 10% Stockholder are limited to five year terms. Any unexercised options under the Plan that expire or that terminate upon an employee's ceasing to be employed with the Company become available once again for issuance. 12 All options granted under the Plan provide for the payment of the exercise price in cash equal to the exercise price of the options being exercised. Grants Under the Plan As of November 10, 2008 there have not been any options granted under the Plan. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE FOR ---------------------------------------------------------- APPROVAL OF THE OPTION PLAN --------------------------- PROPOSAL 3. APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY The Company is seeking approval of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company which will increase the aggregate number of shares which the Corporation shall have authority to issue from 75,000,000 to 76,000,000 shares, of which 75,000,000 shares are to be common stock, with par value of $0.001, and 1,000,000 shares are to be preferred stock, with par value of $0.001. A copy of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The amendment also gives the Board of Directors the authority to set rights and preferences for shares (both common and preferred). Introduction Our Articles of Incorporation currently authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001. There is no preferred stock currently authorized. Description of the Amendment On June 19, 2008, our Board of Directors unanimously approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (the "Amendment"), subject to stockholder approval, to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Articles of Incorporation to 76,000,000 shares, of which 75,000,000 shares are to be common stock, with a par value of $0.001, and 1,000,000 shares are to be preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 and to add 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001. The Amendment further provides that the Board of Directors of the Company is authorized to issue stock in the Company in one or more classes or one or more series of stock within any class with such rights and preferences as may be set by the Board of Directors by resolution. If the Amendment is approved by a majority of stockholders, it will become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Company expects to file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada very shortly after its approval by stockholders. The authorized but unissued shares would be available for issuance from time to time for such purposes and for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine to 13 be appropriate without further action by the stockholders, except for those instances in which applicable law or stock exchange rules require stockholder approval. Purposes of the Amendment The primary purpose of the Amendment is to provide additional shares of preferred stock which may be used by us for any number of reasons including, but not limited to, the issuance in connection with future financing activities of the Company; to issue shares upon conversion of other equity or debt securities; for issuance in connection with future corporate acquisitions; or other corporate purposes. The Company currently has no plans to issue any of the newly authorized shares under the Amendment to the Articles. Other Potential Effects of the Amendment Upon filing the Amendment, the Board of Directors may cause the issuance of additional shares of common or preferred stock and set their rights and preferences without further vote of our stockholders, except as provided under Nevada law (or any national securities exchange on which shares of our common stock are then listed or traded). Under our Articles of Incorporation, our stockholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities which may be issued by the Company, which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of our capital stock in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of common stock. In addition, if the Board of Directors elects to issue additional shares of stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and holdings of current stockholders. In addition to the corporate purposes discussed above, the Amendment could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, although this is not the intent of the Board of Directors. For example, the existence of authorized but unissued shares of common or preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR ------------------------------------------------------------- OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION ------------------------------------------------- PROPOSAL 4. RATIFICATION OF THE STAR OF TEXAS ASSET ACQUISITION Although not required under Nevada law or the governance instruments of the Company, the Board of Directors is asking the stockholders to ratify the acquisition of certain Star of Texas and related party assets which occurred in late 2007. On September 19, 2007, the Board approved the Company entering into an agreement for the acquisition of certain of the assets of Star of Texas Energy Services, Inc., Star of Texas Minerals Resources LLC, Hydro-FX, Inc. and Barnett Holding, LLC (the "Star of Texas Companies") located in Lago Vista, Texas. Mr. Ray Ledesma was a principal owner of the selling companies and is a shareholder 14 and director of the Company. The assets consist of oil and gas working interests and overriding royalty interests in over 80 wells primarily in North Central Texas (Denton, Wise, Hood, Parker, Jack, Hill and Tarrant Counties) and producing out of the Barnett Shale. The assets also include interests in gathering systems, undeveloped leases, vehicles and office furniture. The purchase price for the assets was $6,000,000.00 payable in shares of restricted common stock of the Company valued at $0.75 per share for a total of 8,000,000 shares. On October 17, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of the Star of Texas Companies with certain of those assets being held in escrow pending payment of debts and trade obligations owing against such assets. Further information concerning the Star of Texas acquisition can be found in our Company's Annual Report accompanying this Proxy Statement THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE FOR ---------------------------------------------------------- RATIFICATION OF THE STAR OF TEXAS ASSET ACQUISITION --------------------------------------------------- PROPOSAL 5. RATIFICATION OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF STOCK FOR DEBT Although not required under Nevada law or the governance instruments of the Company, the Board of Directors is asking the stockholders to ratify the issuance of shares of common stock for the settlement of debts and obligations resulting from the Star of Texas asset acquisition. On October 2, 2008 the Company sent an offer out to creditors of the Star of Texas Companies (some of whom are asserting claims against the Company as well) offering to settle the obligations owed to them by the Star of Texas Companies which obligations were incurred in developing assets purchased by the Company in the described above under Proposal 4. Most of those obligations were incurred by the Star of Texas Companies for assets which have been held in escrow since the acquisition. The total amount of the Star of Texas Companies liabilities currently exceeds $13.7 million. The terms of the offer made by the Company to the Star of Texas Companies vendors was to pay $3 million in cash and issue 11,328,000 share of the Company's common stock to settle all the obligation and claims by those vendors. The offer is subject to all the vendors accepting a settlement and it is currently outstanding.
