Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed February 28, 2025

 Background
to the Share Exchange and AGIG Transactions, page 45

 1. Please
 substantially revise your disclosure throughout this section to provide greater detail as
 to the background of the Share Exchange and AGIG Transaction, including the circumstances
 under which the parties were introduced, any pre-existing relationships and understandings
 among the parties, the material issues and key negotiated terms discussed at each meeting,
 how parties' positions differed, and how issues were resolved. Revise to clarify the
 material transaction terms that were included in the non-binding letter of intent, the date
 such letter of intent was executed, and how the terms of the business combination evolved
 during negotiations. The disclosure should provide stockholders with an understanding of
 how, when, and why the material terms of your proposed acquisition evolved. For guidance,
 please refer to Item 14(b)(7) of Schedule 14A and Items 1005(b) and 1011(a)(1) of Regulation
 M- A.

 Response :
The Registrant has revised the disclosure on pages 45 through 47 of Amendment No. 1 to provide greater detail regarding
the background of the Share Exchange and AGIG Transaction, clarify the terms of the letter of intent, and provide more information about
how the AGIG Transaction evolved.

 Opinion
of HUSA's Financial Advisor, page 65

 2. Please
 revise to fully summarize the opinion provided by Evans & Evans and provide the information
 required by Item 14(b)(6) of Schedule 14A. Describe each of the material analysis conducted
 by Evans & Evans, including the Guideline Public Company analysis and Discounted Cash
 Flow analysis, and provide qualitative and quantitative support for the ultimate conclusions
 reached in each analysis. In addition, please disclose the AGIG financial forecasts and projections
 for the years ended December 31, 2024 to 2034 that were reviewed and used by Evans &
 Evans to prepare its opinion.

 Response :
The Registrant has revised the disclosure on pages 64 through 69 of Amendment No. 1 to provide the information required
by Item 14(b)(6) of Schedule 14A, describe the material analysis of Evans & Evans, and provide support for their conclusions. AGIG's
management has provided financial models for the years ended December 31, 2024 to 2034 to Evans & Evans, which utilized such financial
models to prepare the prospective financial information for the years ended December 31, 2024 to 2034. Such prospective financial information
has been disclosed on page 65 of Amendment No. 1.

 General

 3. Please
 tell us whether you intend to register the offer of the securities issued to AGIG or disclose
 the exemption from registration under the Securities Act upon which you will rely in issuing
 the shares pursuant to the Issuance Proposal and the facts supporting the reliance on such
 exemption.

 Response :
The Registrant does not intend to register the offer of the securities issued to the AGIG Unitholders pursuant to the Issuance
Proposal and the Registrant will rely on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. As described in the background of the transaction, AGIG and the AGIG Unitholders were not solicited through any
public means and there are only two AGIG Unitholders that will receive shares of common stock of the Registrant as a part of the
Share Exchange. Each of the AGIG Unitholders, Bower Family Holdings, LLC and Abundia Financial,
LLC, has indicated that it is acquiring the shares for investment purposes and not with the view toward their further transfer. For the
reasons stated above, the issuance of the securities to the AGIG Unitholders is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 4. Please
 tell us what consideration was given to reflecting the proposed reverse stock split in your
 unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information. We note your disclosure
 on page 14 that HUSA stockholder approval of the Issuance Proposal, the Reverse Stock Split
 Proposal, and the Share Issuance Proposal is a condition for completing the Share Exchange.
 Refer to SAB Topic 4:C.

 Response :
The Registrant has revised the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information on page 77 of Amendment No.
1 to give effect to the potential range of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.

 5. In
 light of the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, it appears
 that you should include information showing how the beneficial ownership table would change
 in the event the Share Exchange Agreement is approved. In addition, please provide us with
 your analysis regarding whether the Share Exchange Agreement will result in a change of control.

 Response :
We have updated the beneficial ownership information on page 5 of Amendment No. 1 to reflect the changes in the event the Issuance
Proposal is approved. The Registrant has determined that the AGIG Transaction will result in a change of control of the Registrant. Prior
to the Share Exchange, there is no single stockholder that owns a majority of the Registrant's shares.
The single largest stockholder (Bower Family Holdings, LLC) holds 13.28% of the Registrant's outstanding shares
of common stock as of March 21, 2025. If the Issuance Proposal is approved and the AGIG Transaction proceeds, Abundia Financial,
LLC, previously an AGIG Unitholder, will hold 84.6% of the Registrant's then outstanding shares of common stock. Additionally,
pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, three out of five board seats will be nominated by AGIG and AGIG's Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer will become the Registrant's Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, following the Share Exchange.

 We

in Amendment No. 1 are satisfactory to the Staff. If you have any questions or comments about this letter or need any further information,
please call the undersigned at (713) 651-5557 or Lee McIntyre at (713) 651-5328.

 Very Truly Yours,
