                    PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Financial Statements.

The following interim consolidated financial statements of TNPE and
subsidiaries and TNMP and subsidiaries are unaudited. They reflect a
change in accounting in 1995, as described in note 1 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, and the recognition of regulatory
disallowances in 1994. 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 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 were recognized as
operating revenues in the following month.

The effect of the change increased net earnings by $3,769,000 for the
second quarter and by $10,931,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1995. The $10,931,000 six-month period increase is comprised of the
$8,445,000 cumulative effect of the change to increase net earnings at
January 1, 1995, and $2,486,000 in net operating income. Assuming the
change in accounting was retroactively applied, net operating income
for the 1994 second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994, would
have increased by $3,559,000 and $2,328,000, respectively. The pro
forma effect of the change in accounting to results of operations is
summarized below (in thousands except per share amounts):

(2) Retained Earnings

TNMP is able to pay cash dividends to TNPE to the extent that
unrestricted retained earnings are positive. The change in accounting
to accrue unbilled revenues described in note 1 resulted in a $10.9
million increase in net earnings during the first six months of 1995.
As a result of this change and second quarter results, TNMP had the
ability to pay dividends of $7.9 million to TNPE at June 30, 1995, as
summarized below:
<TABLE>

     Unrestricted retained earnings   $7,971      $(3,137)
</TABLE>

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 ($20.5 million, net of
taxes) as discussed in the 1994 Combined Annual Report on Form 10-K
and precluded TNMP from paying cash dividends to TNPE until
unrestricted retained earnings were available. 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.

</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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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
     
Overall Results
     
TNPE's earnings applicable to common stock were $6.0 million for
the second quarter of 1995 ("current quarter") as compared to the
loss applicable to common stock of $21.8 million for the second
quarter of 1994 ("prior quarter"). The $27.8 million increase in
earnings reflects both the change in accounting for unbilled
revenues described in note 1, which increased current quarter
earnings by $3.8 million, and the 1994 recognition of regulatory
disallowances which decreased prior quarter earnings by $20.5
million. Excluding the effects of the change in accounting and
the regulatory disallowances, results of operations improved by
$3.5 million. This improvement resulted primarily from the rate
increase granted late in 1994.
     
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 ("current six-month
period"), TNPE's earnings applicable to common stock were $11.9
million as compared to the loss applicable to common stock of
$24.9 million for the same period ended June 30, 1994 ("prior six-
month period"). Excluding the effects of the change in accounting
of $10.9 million described in note 1 and the 1994 regulatory
disallowances, results of operations improved by $5.4 million.
This improvement resulted primarily from the previously discussed
rate increase offset by increased interest charges of $1.0
million. Interest charges increased due to higher interest rates
under the Unit 2 Credit Agreement.
     
Since the operations of TNMP (the principal subsidiary) represent
virtually all of TNPE's operations, this discussion focuses
primarily on TNMP's operations.

</TABLE>

The change in accounting described in note 1 was applied retroactively to 
January 1, 1995, and increased operating revenues for the current quarter
and current six-month period by $5.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively. 
The change in accounting is not expected to materially affect total annual
revenues as compared to the prior fiscal year. However, revenues in particular
months are expected to fluctuate as compared to the same months in the prior
year due to the seasonal variation in sales.
     
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. 
Explanations for the quarterly and six-month period variances are discussed
under "Results of Operations -- Operating Expenses."

<PAGE>

Excluding the effect of the change in accounting and pass-through items, 
current quarter and six-month period base revenues exceeded the corresponding
periods last year by $5.8 million and $9.0 million, respectively. The base 
revenue increases are 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 quarter sales of 1,565 GWH represented a 0.5% improvement over prior
quarter sales and contributed $0.3 million to the increase in base revenues.
The increase in sales resulted from a 2.2% increase in total customers and 
more consumption by residential (7.0%) and commercial (6.2%) customers. 
However, industrial sales were 6.8% lower than in the prior quarter due to
higher than normal standby sales to a cogenerating customer during the prior
quarter.
     
Current six-month period sales of 3,040 GWH represented a 1.0% improvement
over prior six-month period sales and contributed $0.8 million to the 
increase in base revenues. The increase in sales resulted from the increase
in total customers and more consumption by residential (1.5%) and commercial
(4.6%) customers. However, industrial sales were 1.3% lower than in the
prior six-month period due to higher than normal standby sales to a 
cogenerating customer during the second quarter of 1994.     

Operating Expenses
     
Current quarter operating expenses increased by $2.7 million as compared to 
the prior quarter. The increase is primarily due to increased income tax 
expense of $4.0 million offset by lower pass-through expenses of $1.4 million.
     
Current six-month period operating expenses decreased by $0.6 million as 
compared to the prior six-month period. The decrease is primarily due to 
decreased pass-through expenses of $4.6 million offset by increased income 
tax expense of $4.1 million.

Income Taxes.  The income tax expense increases are due to improved operating
results and the change in accounting for unbilled revenues.

Pass-through Expenses.  Pass-through expenses consist of power purchased for 
resale, fuel, and standby power.

Power purchased for resale in the current quarter and current six-month 
period decreased $1.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, as compared to
the corresponding periods last year. 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. Also, TNMP recently undertook similar action in Texas to
reduce the cost of power purchased for resale for supplemental summer peaking
capacity. This arrangement became effective May 1, 1995, and is expected to
result in additional cost savings of $8.0 million annually. See "Item 1. 
Legal Proceedings." in Part II regarding purchases from Texas Utilities 
Electric Company.

Increases in fuel expense in the current quarter and current six-month period
were $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and are directly related to
an increased fixed fuel recovery factor approved by the Public Utility 
Commission of Texas ("PUCT") 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.

Standby power in the current quarter and current six-month period decreased 
by $1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as compared to the 
corresponding periods last year due to higher than normal standby sales to a
cogenerating customer during the prior quarter.
     
During May 1995, TNMP and Rayburn Country Electric Cooperative, a 
cooperatively owned generation and transmission association, commenced a joint
study to determine the feasibility and economic benefits of forming a power 
pool. Whether a power pool will be formed and provide economic benefits is 
currently unknown.
     
Other Operating Expenses.  Other operating expenses in the current quarter and
current six-month period were comparable to the corresponding periods last year.
Direct payroll expenses decreased in the current quarter and current six-month
period by $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as a result of the 1994
reorganization. Increases in certain employee benefits and customer collection
costs offset the payroll decreases.

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 June 30, 1995, available unused credit under the Unit 2 Credit Agreement
was $75.5 million, subject to interest coverage and equity ratio tests. 
Management is currently negotiating an alternative credit arrangement to lower
interest expense and gain additional financial flexibility. This new 
arrangement should be finalized by year-end.
     
Common Stock Dividend
     
At June 30, 1995, TNPE had unconsolidated cash and investments of approximately
$8.3 million and TNMP had unrestricted retained earnings of $7.9 million 
available for cash dividends to TNPE. These amounts are more than sufficient
to pay dividends at the current level for the remainder of the year.     

Sale of Texas Panhandle Properties

The discussion in TNPE's and TNMP's 1994 Combined Annual Report on Form 10-K
at page 52 concerning the anticipated sale of the Panhandle properties is 
incorporated in this report by reference.

                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
     
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.
     
          The discussion in TNPE's and TNMP's 1994 Combined Annual Report
          on Form 10-K at page 52 concerning its wholesale purchased power
          agreement with Texas Utilities Electric Company ("TU") is
          incorporated in this report by reference.
     
          During July 1995, TNMP issued requests for proposals for
          purchased power resources during 1996 through 2004 to replace
          power currently purchased from TU.
     
          On July 28, 1995, TNMP filed proceedings with the PUCT and in a
          Texas state district court to declare TNMP's wholesale purchased
          power agreement with TU null and void. In its complaint before
          the PUCT, TNMP asserts that the terms of the agreement are
          against public policy and violate Texas law. TNMP requests the
          state court to declare that provisions in the TU agreement
          prohibiting TNMP from disclosing the agreement's terms and filing
          the agreement for regulatory review are against public policy and
          violate Texas law.
