Note 1: Oil and Gas Properties
     
    Texas  Vanguard Oil Company (the Company) follows the "successful efforts" 
method  of  accounting  for oil and gas exploration and production operations. 
Accordingly, costs incurred in the acquisition and  exploratory  drilling  of
oil and gas properties are initially   capitalized  and  either  subsequently 
expensed  if  the  properties are  determined not to have proved reserves, or  
reclassified as a proven property if proved  reserves  are  discovered. Costs
of  drilling  development  wells  are  capitalized.  Geological, geophysical,  
carrying and production costs are charged to expense as incurred.
     
    Costs related  to acquiring unproved lease and royalty acreage are 
periodically assessed  for  possible impairment of value. If the assessment
indicates impairment, the costs are charged to expense.
     
    Depreciation,  depletion and amortization of proved oil  and gas property 
costs, including  related  equipment  and  facilities, is  provided using the 
units-of-production method.
     
Note 2: Income Taxes
     
    The Company uses the "asset and liability method" of income tax accounting
which bases the amount of current  and  future taxes  payable on  the  events
recognized in the financial statements and on tax laws existing at the balance
sheet date.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in 
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes enactment date.

   There is no federal income tax expense for the  nine-months ended September
30, 1997, due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

     In  addition,  the  Company has approximately $267,625  of  unused  net 
operating  loss  carryforwards for  federal income tax purposes at September
30, 1997.

         Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results 
                 of Operations and Financial Condition.
     
The following information is provided in compliance with SEC guidelines to
explain financial information shown in the Condensed Financial Statements. 
     
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
Operating revenues  increased by $38,560 (11%) and  $187,665  (18%) for the 
three-month  and  nine-month  periods  ended  September  30, 1997  from the
comparable  prior-year periods  primarily  due to  a combination of factors
including higher oil prices in 1997 as compared to 1996, an increase in the
number of properties owned and operated by the Company, as well as an increase
in the amount of gas produced and sold which is attributable to new equipment
installed by the Company to enhance production capabilities.
   
The  $27,914  (24%) and  $64,039 (19%) increase in  production cost  for the 
three-month and  nine-month  periods ended  September 30,  1997  as   compared
to 1996 is primarily attributable to an increase in the  number of  properties
owned and operated by the Company as well as the installation of new equipment
as described above  which  maximizes gas  production  capabilities.    General
and administrative expenses increased  $16,044 (35%) and $18,367 (10%) for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 from the comparable
1996 periods.  Interest  expense  increased  approximately  $7,513 and $26,326
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 from the 
comparable 1996 periods primarily  due to higher average outstanding balances.
Depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization  increased  by $41,256 (71%)  for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 from  the comparable prior-year
period  due to  increased production and shortened reservoir lives.

For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997, the 
Company provided provisions of $50,000 and $67,600 respectively, for the
impairment  of value of oil and gas properties due to less than expected
production  history of specific wells and for wells that were plugged or
abandoned.
     
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     
In  July 1997, the Company  entered  into a new bank note payable maturing  
in July 2001, which has allowed for classification of $868,700 of the bank
note payable in the long term category.  Cash flow from operations remains
positive  at $397,023 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  Notes
payable and long-term debt decreased by $406,972 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1997.

The worldwide crude oil prices continue to fluctuate in 1997. The Company
cannot predict how prices will vary during the remainder of 1997 and what
effect they will  ultimately have on the Company, but management believes
that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations
to service its bank debt and provide for maintaining current production of
its oil and gas properties.
