Item 1.   Financial Statements.

The following interim consolidated financial statements of TNP
Enterprises, Inc. ("TNPE") and subsidiaries and Texas-New Mexico Power
Company  ("TNMP")  and  subsidiaries are  unaudited.  They  have  been
restated  to  reflect a change in accounting for unbilled revenues  as
described in note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  In
management's  opinion,  the  financial statements  reflect  all  other
adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)  necessary
to state fairly results for the interim periods presented. Results for
interim  periods  are  not necessarily indicative  of  results  to  be
expected  for a full year or for previously reported periods,  due  in
part to seasonal revenue fluctuations. Amounts shown for TNPE and TNMP
at  December  31,  1994,  are based on audited consolidated  financial
statements appearing in TNPE's and TNMP's 1994 Combined Annual  Report
on Form 10-K.

(1)  Change in Accounting for Unbilled Revenues

Effective January 1, 1995 TNMP (including TNPE) changed its  method
of  accounting  for operating revenues from cycle billing  to  full
accrual.  This  change  required  the  recognition  of  $12,993,000
($8,445,000,  net  of  taxes)  of  additional  revenues.   Accruing
unbilled  revenues more closely matches revenues and  expenses  and
more closely conforms to common utility industry practice. Unbilled
revenues  represent the estimated amount customers will be  charged
for  service  received, but not yet billed, as of the end  of  each
month.  Previously  these  revenues had been  recognized  based  on
amounts  billed  to  customers from  the  monthly  cycle  of  meter
readings.  Electric  service provided to  customers  subsequent  to
billing dates through the end of each calendar month was recognized
as operating revenues in the following month.

The change affected results of operations for the first quarter  of
1995 as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):

As  shown  above,  the effect of the change increased net earnings by
$7,161,000,  of which $8,445,000 represents the cumulative  effect  of
the  change to increase net earnings at January 1, 1995 and $1,284,000
is  the  decrease  in  net  operating income for  the  first  quarter.
Assuming  the  change  in  accounting was retroactively  applied,  net
operating  income for the 1994 first quarter would have  decreased  by
$1,231,000.  The  pro  forma effect of the  change  in  accounting  to
results  of  operations are summarized below (in thousands except  per

 (2) Retained Earnings

TNMP's  first  mortgage bond indenture restricts the payment  of  cash
dividends on TNMP's common stock (which is wholly owned by TNPE).  The
restrictions do not permit TNMP to pay cash dividends to  TNPE  unless
unrestricted retained earnings are available.

The restriction became operative during 1994 due to the recognition of
$35.0  million  of  regulatory disallowances and precluded  TNMP  from
paying  cash  dividends to TNPE until unrestricted  retained  earnings
were  available. The change in accounting to accrue unbilled  revenues
described  in  note  1  resulted in a $7.1  million  increase  in  net
earnings  during  the  first quarter of 1995.  Information  concerning
TNMP's unrestricted retained earnings is summarized below:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

                                      Mar. 31, 1995        Dec. 31, 1994

     <S>                                 <C>                   <C>
     Total retained earnings             $16,662               $10,559

     Unrestricted retained earnings       $2,783               $(3,137)

</TABLE>

TNMP  is  able to pay cash dividends to TNPE only to the  extent  that
unrestricted retained earnings are positive. Therefore,  as  of  March
31,  1995  TNMP  had the ability to pay dividends of $2.7  million  to
TNPE.

TNPE paid cash dividends to its shareholders from cash on hand at  the
parent  company level during the period that TNMP was  unable  to  pay
cash dividends to TNPE.

(3)  Income Taxes

The  components of income taxes for the three months ended  March  31,
1995, and 1994, respectively, were as follows:

</TABLE>

Based   on  TNPE's  and  TNMP's  historical  and  projected  pretax
earnings,  management believes that both TNPE and TNMP more likely than not
will realize  the benefit of the deferred tax assets existing  at  March
31, 1995.

As  indicated in the 1994 Combined Annual Report on Form  10-K,  an
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") revenue agent involved in auditing
TNPE's  1990  and  1991  consolidated federal  income  tax  returns
recommended, in March 1995, that a private letter ruling concerning
eligibility  of  the TNP One generating plant for  ITC  be  revoked
retroactively.  Management believes that TNMP's claim  for  ITC  is
valid and is contesting the agent's recommendation.

(4) Commitments and Contingencies

Sale of Texas Panhandle Properties

As  discussed in the 1994 Combined Annual Report on Form 10-K, TNMP
has  agreed to sell the Panhandle properties to Southwestern Public
Service  Company  for $29.2 million, subject to certain  conditions
and regulatory approvals. Management anticipates that the sale will
be finalized during 1995.

Revenues Subject to Refund

At  March 31, 1995, revenues subject to refund totaled $4.9 million
under  an  income  tax-related issue from a Texas  rate  case.  The
revenues  subject  to refund, which were billed from  1991  through
October  1,  1994, have been excluded from results  of  operations.
Recognition of these revenues is conditioned upon TNMP obtaining  a
private  letter ruling from the IRS supporting TNMP's  position  on
certain related income tax consequences.

While  no  assurances can be given, based upon  a  similar  revenue
ruling  received by an unrelated utility, TNMP expects a  favorable
ruling  during 1995. In addition, the Texas Supreme Court  recently
ruled that Texas law does not bind the Public Utility Commission of
Texas  to  require a utility to pass through to its Texas customers
income tax benefits applicable to disallowed utility plant.

An  unfavorable private letter ruling would require TNMP to  refund
to  Texas  customers  the  $4.9 million  previously  collected.  In
addition,  TNMP  would  recognize an expense  of  $7.9  million  to
provide for a regulatory liability and would pass through to  Texas
customers income tax benefits applicable to disallowed plant.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
         Condition and Results of Operations.
     
     The  following discussion should be read in conjunction with  the
     related  consolidated financial statements and notes.  References
     to   "note(s)"   will   mean  Notes  to  Consolidated   Financial
     Statements.
     
     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
     Since the operations of TNMP (the principal subsidiary) represent
     virtually  all  of  TNPE's  operations, this  discussion  focuses
     primarily on TNMP's operations.
     
     Overall Results
     
     TNPE's  net earnings applicable to common stock were $5.9 million
     for  the first quarter of 1995 ("current period") as compared  to
     the loss applicable to common stock of $3.1 million for the first
     quarter  of  1994  ("prior period"). The  $9.0  million  increase
     resulted primarily from the change in accounting.  Excluding  the
     one-time   $7.1  million  effect  of  the  change  in  accounting
     described in note 1, results of operations improved $1.9 million.
     This  improvement resulted primarily from rate increases  granted
     late  in  1994 which were partially offset by increased  interest
     charges.
     
     
     Operating Revenues
     
     Excluding  the  effect of the change in accounting  described  in
     note  1, current period operating revenues of $107.6 million were
     comparable   to  the  prior  period.  The  change  of  accounting
     negatively  impacted current period operating revenue  by  almost
     $2.0 million. The components of operating revenues are summarized
     in the following table (in thousands):

<TABLE>

                                      Current       Prior     Increase

          Operating revenues before 
            effect of change 
            in accounting             107,622       107,599        23
          
          Less pass-through items:
           Power purchased for resale  42,007        46,308    (4,301)
           Fuel & standby power        11,484        10,477     1,007
          
          Base revenues               $54,131       $50,814    $3,317

</TABLE>
     
     The  change in accounting described in note 1 is not expected  to
     materially affect total annual revenues as compared to the  prior
     year.  However,  revenues in particular months  are  expected  to
     fluctuate as compared to the same months in the prior year.  This
     fluctuation is due to the effect of monthly weather patterns.
     
     Pass-through  items  are the portion of operating  revenues  that
     recover  from customers the costs of power purchased for  resale,
     fuel, and standby power. These items affect customer rates but do
     not  affect operating income. The $4.3 million reduction in power
     purchased  for resale and the $1.0 million increase in  fuel  and
     standby  power  are  discussed under "Results  of  Operations  --
     Operating Expenses."
     
     Although total operating revenues before the effect of change  in
     accounting  increased slightly, base revenues were  $3.3  million
     higher  than the prior period. Base revenues increased  primarily
     due  to  annualized rate increases in both Texas ($17.5  million)
     and New Mexico ($0.4 million). These rate increases resulted from
     settlement agreements in October 1994 and May 1994, respectively.
     
     Current period sales of 1,475 GWH, a 1.6% improvement over  prior
     period  sales, contributed $0.5 million to the increase  in  base
     revenues. The increase in sales resulted from a 2.1% increase  in
     total customers and more consumption by commercial and industrial
     users.  However, residential sales were 3.7% lower  than  in  the
     prior period due to milder temperatures in the current period.

     Operating Expenses
     
     TNMP's  current  period  operating  expenses  decreased  by  $3.3
     million  as  compared  to  the  prior  period.  The  decrease  is
     primarily  due  to  lower  pass-through expenses.  Excluding  the
     effect  of  pass-through  items ($3.3  million  decrease),  other
     current  period  operating  expenses  were  comparable  to  prior
     period.
     
     Pass-through  Expenses. Pass-through expenses  consist  of  power
     purchased for resale, fuel, and standby power.
     
     Power  purchased for resale in the current period decreased  $4.3
     million  from  the prior period. The decrease in power  purchased
     for  resale  resulted from TNMP exercising rights under  its  New
     Mexico purchased power contracts to shift purchases to lower cost
     suppliers. TNMP's customers directly benefit from this  reduction
     as  these expenses are recovered through adjustment clauses. TNMP
     recently undertook similar action in Texas to reduce the cost  of
     power  purchased  for  resale  for  supplemental  summer  peaking
     capacity.  As a result, an additional cost savings of $8  million
     annually is expected beginning in 1995.
     
     The  $1.0  million increase in fuel and standby power is directly
     related  to  an increased fixed fuel recovery factor approved  by
     the  Public  Utility Commission of Texas in connection  with  the
     1994  Texas  rate case settlement. The majority  of  TNMP's  fuel
     expense  is  equal  to the amount recovered in revenues  and  any
     difference  from actual costs is deferred until a new  factor  is
     established under a fuel factor reconciliation hearing.
     
     Other  Operating Expenses. In the current period other  operating
     expenses  increased $0.7 million from the prior period.  Although
     direct payroll expenses decreased $0.8 million as a result of the
     1994  reorganization, increases in certain employee benefits  and
     customer  collection costs and decreases in income  tax  benefits
     more than offset the decreases. Employee benefits increased as  a
     result of the 1995 adoption of cash incentive compensation plans.
     Future  results of operations are expected to be impacted by  the
     plans approved by the shareholders discussed in Item 4.
     
     Interest Charges
     
     Current  period total interest charges increased by $0.8  million
     over  the  prior  period amount due to increased  interest  rates
     under the Unit 2 Credit Agreement.
     
     FINANCIAL CONDITION
     
     Liquidity
     
     TNMP  believes  that  cash  flow  from  operations  and  periodic
     borrowings  under its Unit 2 Credit Agreement will be  sufficient
     to   meet   working  capital  requirements  and  planned  capital
     expenditures at least through December 1996. TNMP has  sufficient
     liquidity to satisfy the possibility of adverse rulings, if  any,
     for the contingencies described in notes 3 and 4.
     
     As  of  March 31, 1995, available unused credit under the Unit  2
     Credit  Agreement was $55.5 million, subject to interest coverage
     and  equity  ratio tests. Management is investigating alternative
     credit arrangements to lower interest expense and gain additional
     financial flexibility.
     
     Common Stock Dividend
     
     At  March  31, 1995, TNPE had unconsolidated cash and investments
     of approximately $10.5 million and TNMP had unrestricted retained
     earnings  of $2.7 million available for cash dividends  to  TNPE.
     These  amounts would be more than sufficient to pay dividends  at
     the current level for the remainder of the year.

     The  discussion in TNPE's and TNMP's 1994 Combined Annual  Report

EXHIBIT 18

LETTER RE: CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

August 8, 1995

TNP Enterprises, Inc.
Texas-New Mexico Power Company
Fort Worth, Texas

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We  have been furnished with a copy of the combined Form 10-Q/A  of
TNP  Enterprises, Inc. and Texas-New Mexico Power Company  for  the
three  months  ended March 31, 1995, and have read  the  Companies'
statements  contained  in  Note  1 to  the  consolidated  financial
statements  included therein. As stated in Note  1,  the  Companies
changed their method of accounting for operating revenues from  the
basis  of  monthly  meter readings to accrual of electric  services
provided  but not billed at the end of each month and  stated  that
the  newly  adopted  accounting  principle  is  preferable  in  the
circumstances  because  accruing  unbilled  revenues  more  closely
matches  revenues and expenses and more closely conforms to utility
industry  practice.  In  accordance  with  your  request,  we  have
reviewed and discussed with Company officials the circumstances and
business judgment and planning upon which the decision to make this
change in the method of accounting was based.

We  have  not  audited any financial statements of TNP Enterprises,
Inc.  or  Texas-New Mexico Power Company as of any date or for  any
period  subsequent to December 31, 1994, nor have  we  audited  the
information  set  forth  in  the  aforementioned  Note  1  to   the
consolidated financial statements; accordingly, we do  not  express
an opinion concerning the factual information contained therein.

With  regard to the aforementioned accounting change, authoritative
criteria have not been established for evaluating the preferability
of  one  acceptable  method of accounting over  another  acceptable
method. However, for purposes of TNP Enterprises, Inc.'s and Texas-
New  Mexico Power Company's compliance with the requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, we are furnishing this letter.

Based  on  our review and discussion, with reliance on management's
business  judgment and planning, we concur that the  newly  adopted
method of accounting is preferable in the Companies' circumstances.


                                        Very truly yours,


                                        \s\ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
                                        KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
