CROSSTEX ENERGY REPORTS NO SIGNIFICANT HURRICANE DAMAGE
TO FACILITIES IN LOUISIANA

DALLAS, September 9, 2008 — Crosstex Energy, L.P. (NASDAQ: XTEX) (the Partnership) announced today that its assets in Louisiana sustained no significant physical damage as a result of Hurricane Gustav. Currently, most of the Partnership’s facilities along the Gulf Coast are operational; however, limited electrical power availability has delayed operations at the Plaquemine processing plant and the Riverside fractionation plant. The financial impact of Hurricane Gustav remains uncertain, but it is expected the storm could have a $7-8 million negative impact on the Partnership’s financial results for the third quarter of 2008, assuming resumption of normal operations by the end of next week.

“The safety and security of our employees and their families are our top priorities,” said Barry E. Davis, Crosstex Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are extremely fortunate that our employees made it through Hurricane Gustav safely and our property incurred only minor damage.”

Hurricane Ike is expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico tomorrow, Wednesday, September 10, and its projected path is currently along the southeast coast of Texas. In response to the storm, the Partnership has initiated its hurricane preparedness plan and is in the process of securing its facilities and making plans to ensure the safety of its employees and contractors. If the storm continues on its current path, it could further disrupt gas production but should not slow down Louisiana infrastructure repair.
