ITEM 4.    CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

(a) Texas Vanguard Oil Company, a Texas corporation (the "Registrant"), was
organized in December 1979.  On November 13, 1998, the Board of Directors of
the Registrant met to discuss KPMG Peat Marwick's resignation as the
independent auditors of the Registrant's financial statements.  KPMG,
certified public accountants having served as the independent auditors for
the Registrant since 1984, submitted their resignation effective November 12,
1998.  A copy of their letter is attached as an exhibit to this filing.
The Board of Directors of the Registrant voted to accept the resignation.

(b)  On November 13, 1998, the Registrant's Board of Directors elected the
firm of Sprouse & Winn, L.L.P., Austin, Texas, as the independent auditor
for the current year ending December 31, 1998.  Sprouse & Winn are to examine
the financial statements of the Registrant for the current year and are to 
perform such other appropriate accounting services as may be required by the
Board of Directors.

(c)  KPMG Peat Marwick, in their reports on the financial statements of the
Registrant for the previous two fiscal years (December 31, 1996 and December
31, 1997), gave no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was any
report qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Company's most recent fiscal year and subsequent interim periods
preceding the resignation of KPMG Peat Marwick, the Company had no dis-
agreements with KPMG Peat Marwick on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
