 Item 5.03.  Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year

Effective as of December 17, 2007, the Board of Directors of Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) amended Article VI of the Company’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares of the Company’s capital stock.  The amendment to the Bylaws makes it possible for the Company to participate in the Direct Registration System, currently administered by The Depository Trust Company.  The Direct Registration System allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with the transfer of physical certificates.  The amendment to the Bylaws also provides that each registered shareholder shall be entitled to a physical stock certificate upon request to the transfer agent or registrar of the Company.

The full text of the Bylaws, as amended is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and amended Article VI thereof is incorporated herein by reference.
