This Registration Statement on Form S-8 relates to the Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the "
2014 Plan
") of Lucas Energy, Inc. (the "
Registrant
" or the "
Company
"). An aggregate of 95,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "
Common Stock
") have been or may be issued under the 2014 Plan (which number takes into account the Registrant's 1:25 reverse stock split which was effective July 15, 2015). Of the 95,000 shares, 40,000 shares were previously registered (the "
Previously Registered Shares
") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
Securities Act
") pursuant to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-195959). The Registrant previously paid the registration fee for the Previously Registered Shares. Registered in this Registration Statement are an additional 55,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the 2014 Plan, the offer, sale and issuance of which are being registered herein.
(2)
Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, this Registration Statement also covers any additional shares of common stock of the Registrant that become issuable pursuant to awards by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction that results in an increase in the number of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Registrant.
(3)
Represents shares reserved for issuance pursuant to future awards under the Amended and Restated Lucas Energy, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, less the Previously Registered Shares.
(4)
Calculated solely for purposes of this offering under Rules 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act, on the basis of the average of the high and low selling prices per share of the Registrant's common stock on April 12, 2016, as reported on the NYSE MKT.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On
May 15, 2014, Lucas Energy, Inc. (the "
Company
") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "
Commission
")
a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-195959) (the "
Prior Registration Statement
") registering
shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Company's 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the "
Original Plan
").
The aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable under the Original Plan was 40,000 after adjusting the number of shares
for the Company's 1:25 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock which was effective on July 15, 2015.
On
February 8, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Company's Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Incentive
Plan (the "
Amended Plan
"), which was approved by the stockholders of the Company on March 29, 2016, which amends,
restates and supersedes in its entirety the Original Plan. The Amended Plan (a) increases by 55,000 (to 95,000), the number of
shares of common stock reserved for issuance under such Original Plan; and (b) amends the definition of "
Eligible Person
"
under the Original Plan to exclude "instances where services are in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a
capital-raising transaction, or they directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities".
This Registration Statement
relates to securities of the same class as to which the Prior Registration Statement relates. As such, and as permitted by Instruction
E of Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registrant Statement filed by the Registrant on Form S-8 on May 15, 2014, is
incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Registration Statement, except for Part I and Items 3, 8 and 9 of
Part II which are being updated by this Registration Statement. In addition, all exhibits required by General Instruction E of
Form S-8 are filed as exhibits hereto.
The Registrant has filed this
Registration Statement to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, an additional 55,000 shares of common stock
reserved for future issuance under the Amended Plan, the offer and sale of which are being registered herein.

") either as part of this Registration Statement or as prospectuses
or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act. Such documents and the documents incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II hereof, taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the

Item 8. Exhibits
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9. Undertakings
(a)	The Company hereby
undertakes:
(1)	To file, during any period
in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)	To include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)	To reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "
Calculation of Registration Fee
" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)	To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
to such information in the registration statement.
However, paragraphs (a)(1)(i)
and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2)	That, for the purpose
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3)	To remove from registration
by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)	The undersigned hereby
undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated
by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)	Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, our company will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
