                                  AMENDMENT NUMBER 1


     Unless   otherwise   defined  or  indicated  n  this  Amendment  number  1,
capitalized  terms  which are used herein and are  defined in the  Schedule  13D
filed December 6, 2002  (Original 13D) shall have the meanings  assigned them in
the  Original  13D.  All  information   herein  with  respect  to  Mexco  Energy
Corporation, a Colorado corporation,  is to the best knowledge and belief of the
Reporting Person, as defined herein.

________________________________________________________________________________
Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

     This Amendment is filed by Mr. L.E. Sawyer, Jr., an individual, RESIDING IN
Midland,  Midland County,  Texas.  This Amendment relates to the $0.50 par value
common  stock of Mexco  Energy  Corporation  (herein  called  the  "Issuer"),  a
Colorado  corporation  maintaining its principal  executive  offices at 214 West
Texas, Suite 1101, Midland, Texas 79701.

     The Issuer's  corporate name was formerly Miller Oil Company;  however,  in
April  1980 the  shareholders  of the  Issuer  adopted a  proposal  to amend the
Articles of  Incorporation  ("Articles")  of the Issuer to change the  corporate
name to that indicated above.  Also at that time, the shareholders of the Issuer
approved  amendments to the Articles  which related in a  one-for-fifty  reverse
stock split of the Issuer's  common stock ($0.50 par value).  The corporate name
change and reverse stock split became  effective April 30, 1980, upon the filing
of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of
State.

________________________________________________________________________________
Item 2.  Identity and Background.

     (a)- (c) L. E.  Sawyer,  Jr.,  whose  business  address is 901 Country Club

72,356  shares prior to December 5, 2002 and on such date an  additional  26,000
shares. His principal  occupation is that of an independent  landman for oil and

Laws.  During  the  last  five  years  Mr.  Sawyer  was not a  party  to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative  body of competent  jurisdiction that
resulted  in Mr.  Sawyer  being  subject to a  judgment,  decree or final  order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating  activities  subject
to, Federal and state securities laws or finding any  violation  with respect to
such laws.

     (f) Mr. Sawyer is a United States citizen.

________________________________________________________________________________
Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     On December  20,  2002,  Mr.  Sawyer  purchased  600 shares of the Issuer's

Sawyer  acquired  an  additional  600 shares @ $3.75 per share and 500 shares at

stock and his  alternatives  with respect to the matters  described  above,  and
reserves  the right to  formulate  additional  plans or  proposals  with respect
thereto,  or to  change  his  intentions  with  respect  to  any  or  all of the
foregoing.

________________________________________________________________________________
Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  Mr.  Sawyer  owns   beneficially   102,556  shares  of  common  stock,
representing approximately 5.90 % of the outstanding common stock of the Issuer,
including the vested option to acquire 2,500 shares of Registrant's common stock
at $6.75 per  share.  Mr.  Sawyer  has the sole  power to vote or dispose of the

common  stock and the October  15,  2002 sale of 500 shares of  Issuer's  common
stock, Mr. Sawyer has not engaged in any transactions involving the common stock
during the past 60 days.
