                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Trustee and Thrift Plan Committee
Texas-New Mexico Power Company
Thrift Plan for Employees:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of Texas-New Mexico Power Company Thrift Plan for Employees (the
Plan) as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Texas-New
Mexico Power Company Thrift Plan for Employees as of December 31, 1993 and
1992, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of Item
27a - Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes and Item 27d - Schedule
of Reportable Transactions are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but
are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

(1)    Description of Plan

       The following description of the Texas-New Mexico Power Company
           Thrift Plan for Employees (the Plan) provides only general
           information.  Participants should refer to the Plan agreement
           for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

       (a) General

           The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering employees of
             Texas-New Mexico Power Company (the Company), a wholly owned
             subsidiary of TNP Enterprises, Inc., who have one year of
             service and are age twenty-one or older.  The Plan is subject
             to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
             Act of 1974 (ERISA).

       (b) Contributions

           The Plan is a voluntary thrift plan, administered by a Trustee,
             with a provision for the Company to contribute to the Plan
             amounts equal to certain percentages of amounts contributed
             by employees.  The Company's contributions for the account of
             an employee and any income and earnings therefrom and
             accretions thereon vest immediately with employee
             participants upon payment to the Trustee or receipt by the
             Trustee of such income, earnings and accretions.  Employees
             have the option of investing their contributions and
             contributions of the Company, if any, in either, or a
             combination of, certain United States government securities,
             TNP Enterprises, Inc. (TNPE) common stock or, since January
             1, 1992, two mutual funds.  Since January 1, 1992, the
             Company's contributions have been used to purchase TNPE
             common stock which the employees may later convert into
             investments in one or more of the other investing options. 
             In general, an employee may make withdrawals at any time from
             amounts deposited with the Trustee, subject to various
             restrictions as defined in the Plan agreement.

           At December 31, 1993, 391 employees (433 in 1992) had elected
             investment of contributions in TNPE's common stock, 117
             employees (140 in 1992) had elected investment of
             contributions in certain United States government securities,
             54 employees (55 in 1992) had elected investment of
             contributions in Vanguard Index 500 Fund, 29 employees (17 in
             1992) had elected investment of contributions in Vanguard
             Wellesley Income Fund and 403 employees (391 in 1992) had
             elected to allocate, in 10% increments, investment of
             contributions in the various investment options that are
             available.

           Each participant agrees to a reduction in compensation of
             amounts ranging from 2% to 9% to be contributed to the Plan. 
             This results in the deferral of the compensation reduction
             from the employee's taxable income until withdrawals are made
             from the Plan.  Compensation reductions up to 6% are matched
             by the Company at the discretion of the Board of Directors. 
             Effective January 1, 1993, the Company suspended its matching
             contributions to the Plan; however, the Company's Board of
             Directors has approved restoration of the Company's matching
             contributions, to be effective for employee contributions
             made after June 30, 1994.
                                                                     (Continued)

           In the event of complete or partial termination of the Plan,
             the rights of all participants to benefits accrued to the
             date of such termination are fully vested and nonforfeitable
             and the assets of the Plan shall be distributed to the
             participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with the
             trust agreement.

       (f) Payment of Benefits

           Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to receive
             either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of their account,
             or installments over a 5-year period.

             Income) are stated at fair value.  The fair value is based on
             quotations obtained from national stock exchanges.  Trade
             transactions are recognized on the trade date (the date the
             buy or sell order is executed).  Dividend income is recorded
             when received.  

           Investments in United States Treasury Bills are stated at fair
             value, which is based on published market quotations.

           trust is exempt from Federal income taxes under the applicable
           provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Participants of the
           Plan do not include the Company's contributions to the Plan or
           the earnings of the Plan in their taxable income until actually
           distributed to them.

(4)    Reconciliation of Net Assets Available for Benefits

       In order to present the accompanying financial statements in
