Item 3.01.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On July 16, 2010, Houston American Energy Corp. (the “Company”) provided written notice to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that the Company expects to voluntarily cease trading on the Nasdaq Global Market prior to the opening of trading on July 27, 2010, and intends to transfer its listing to the NYSE Amex LLC (“NYSE Amex”) to commence trading on July 27, 2010. The Company’s common stock has been approved for listing on NYSE Amex, and will continue to trade under the stock symbol “HUSA.” The Company is listing its common stock on NYSE Amex because it believes that doing so will give it added visibility in the financial markets, reduce volatility and increase the liquidity of its common stock, provide it with the advantages of a designated market maker and enhance its investor outreach.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company in connection with its move from the Nasdaq Global Market to NYSE Amex is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
