CROSSTEX ENERGY PROVIDES OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT
OF TEXAS AND LOUISIANA FACILITIES AFTER HURRICANE IKE

DALLAS, September 26, 2008 — Crosstex Energy, L.P. (NASDAQ: XTEX) (the Partnership) announced today that the majority of its assets in Texas and Louisiana sustained minimal physical damage as a result of Hurricane Ike. Most of the Partnership’s facilities along the Gulf Coast are resuming or have resumed operations. However, the Sabine plant, because of its proximity to the Louisiana Gulf coast, sustained some damage that is still being assessed. It is expected the plant will not be operational for at least four to six weeks. In addition, several offshore production platforms and pipelines transporting gas production to the Pelican and Bluewater processing plants were damaged by the storm, and it is unclear when offshore production will return in full. Consequently, it is anticipated that Pelican and Bluewater volumes could remain at a lower level until those repairs are completed by the owners of the platforms and pipelines.

The Partnership is negotiating with owners of other plants that sustained significant damage to process displaced gas from those plants in Crosstex’s facilities.

The Partnership estimates that the combined negative impact of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike on third-quarter cash flows will be approximately $12-14 million. The Partnership has not quantified the impact of the reduced operations at the Sabine, Pelican and Bluewater plants on fourth-quarter financial results. In addition, the Partnership is currently unable to estimate potential increases, if any, in its processing business from gas redirected to its facilities from other damaged plants in the region.

“Our employees encountered two back-to-back hurricanes in just a few days, and we are extremely fortunate that they made it through Hurricane Ike safely and the majority of our property that was affected incurred only minor damage,” said Barry E. Davis, Crosstex Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are exceptionally proud of our employees who reached out and helped each other recover from the storm.”
