                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1997
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The interim financial information as of March 31, 1997, and for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, is unaudited.  Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  However, in the opinion of management,
these interim financial statements include all the necessary adjustments to
fairly present the results of the interim periods and all such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature.  The interim consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1996.
     
     Costilla Energy, Inc. ("Costilla" or the "Company") was incorporated in
Delaware in June 1996 to consolidate and continue the activities previously
conducted by Costilla Energy, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company (the
"LLC"), and its wholly owned subsidiaries, to acquire the assets of CSL
Management Corporation (which owned certain office equipment used by the
Company), and to acquire the stock of Valley Gathering Company.  Costilla was
formed for the purpose of conducting a $60 million initial public offering of
common stock and a $100 million senior notes offering (the "Offerings"), which
Offerings were completed in early October 1996.
     
     The Company is an oil and gas exploration and production concern with
properties located principally in West Texas, South Texas, and the Rocky
Mountain regions of the United States.


2. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage well-
defined interest rate and commodity price risks.  The Company is exposed to
credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to its
interest rate swap agreements and its commodity hedges.  The Company
anticipates, however, that such counterparties will be able to fully satisfy
their obligations under the contracts.  The Company does not obtain collateral
or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk but
monitors the credit standing of the counterparties.
     
     COMMODITY HEDGES.  The Company utilizes option contracts to hedge the
effect of price changes on future oil and gas production.  If market prices of
oil and gas exceed the strike price of put options, the options will expire
unexercised, therefore reducing the effective price received for oil and gas
sales by the cost of the related option.
    
     The following table sets forth the future volumes hedged by year and the
weighted-average strike price of the option contracts at March 31, 1997:

     INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS.   Prior to the Offerings, the Company
utilized two interest rate swap agreements to reduce the potential impact of
increases in interest rates on floating-rate long-term debt.  Concurrent with
the issuance of the $100 million of 10.25% fixed-rate senior notes in early
October 1996, the two interest rate swap agreements ceased to be hedges.  These
interest rate swap agreements were marked-to-market and the related liability
recorded.  The liability for the two interest rate swap agreements was $955,000
at March 31, 1997 and $1,712,000 at December 31, 1996.  The average balance of
this liability during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was approximately
$1,500,000.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company recorded
investment gains of $541,000 on the interest rate swap agreements.  The
following table sets forth the terms, fixed rates, and notional amounts of the
interest rate swap agreements in place as of March 31, 1997:

                                                   NOTIONAL

     May 24, 1995 to May 27, 1997 (a)            $60 million         5.99%

- -----------------
     (a)  Subject to extension until May 24, 1999 at the option of the
          counterparty.


3.  SALE OF INTEREST IN REPUBLIC GAS PARTNERS, LLC

     On March 6, 1997, the Company sold its 40.5% interest in a Delaware limited
liability company which owns and operates a gas pipeline and associated
facilities in Louisiana.  This membership interest had been held for resale. 
The Company sold its interest to another member of the limited liability company
for $1,071,150.  This amount represented the Company's actual investment of
$1,019,771 plus interest of $51,379 since the date of the Company's original
investment in April, 1996.  The effective date of the sale was the date of the
Company's original investment in April, 1996.  The Company received a cash
payment of $918,184 on March 6, 1997.  In addition, the Company received a
$152,966 note due in full on July 1, 1997, which accrues interest at 5.62% per
annum.


4.  INCOME TAXES

     At December 31, 1996, the Company had provided a valuation allowance equal
to its net deferred tax asset of $1,712,000.  In light of the Company's
continued profitable operations as evidenced by its second consecutive quarter
of net income before income taxes, it now appears more likely than not that the
Company will be able to utilize a portion of its available carryforwards to the
extent that such utilization offsets the deferred tax liability generated in the
three month period ended March 31, 1997.
