NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996
(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Partnership was organized as a limited partnership on June 20, 1981 for the
purpose of engaging in oil and gas exploration and production. Texland
Properites-1981, a general partnership, and Texland Petroleum, Inc. are the
General Partners. The Managing General Partner is Texland Petroleum, Inc. The
Partnership's accounting policies are summarized below:
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The Partnership follows generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to established enterprises in the extractive industries
under a method which is generally known as the successful method of accounting.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Costs incurred for the acquisition of producing and
nonproducing leaseholds are capitalized. Costs of intangible development and
lease and well equipment incurred to drill and equip successful exploratory and
development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill and equip unsuccessful
exploratory wells are charged to operations while costs of unsuccessful
development wells remain capitalized. Costs associated with uncompleted wells
are capitalized as wells-in-progress.
ABANDONED LEASEHOLDS - Costs of nonproducing properties are charged to expense
at such time as they are deemed to be impaired, based upon periodic assessments
of such costs.
DEPLETION - Leasehold costs of producing properties are amortized on the unit of
production method based on proved oil and gas reserves. Intangible development
costs of producing properties are amortized on the unit of production method
based on estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves.
DEPRECIATION - Depreciation of equipment is provided by using the unit of
production method based on estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves.
ORGANIZATION COSTS - These costs are amortized by the straightline method over
ten years, the life of the Partnership.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX - The Partnership files its federal income tax return on the
accrual basis.

2. CONTRIBUTIONS BY GENERAL PARTNER (TEXLAND PROPERTIES-1981)
Under terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is charged for
certain costs related to drilling and production operations which are required
to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes. These costs are treated as
capital contributions by the General Partner. In addition, Texland Properties-
1981 and Texland Petroleum, Inc. have invested in limited partnership units in
the amount of $95,000 and $30,000 respectively.
3. FEES TO MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER (TEXLAND PETROLEUM, INC.)
In consideration of its management services rendered, the Managing General
Partner is entitled to charge management fees to the Partnership. In addition,
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, the Partnership
was charged $35,745 and $45,055 respectively for technical services, accounting
services, and supervisory services performed by the employees of the Managing
General Partner and such charges are included in intangible development costs,
production expenses and fees to Managing General Partner. These charges are
allocated between the General and Limited Partners based upon applicable revenue
and expense sharing rates.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
March 31, 1996
The Partnership's average price per barrel of oil for the first quarter of 1996
was $15.65 as compared to $14.42 for the first quarter of 1995. The increased
revenue results primarily from this increase in average oil prices. In addition,
increased production due to in-fill drilling in 1995 on certain Partnership
properties continues to boost production levels.
Production expenses remained relatively flat for the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to the 1995 in spite of increased sales. This was due to a decrease in
remedial workover activity as compared to the prior year first quarter.
The Partnership was formed with cash contributions from the Limited and General
Partners. Management does not intend to incur any substantial indebtedness and
any developmental drilling which is necessary will be processed by farmout to
other parties or by reinvestment of internally generated funds. Management,
therefore, anticipates no liquidity problems during the life of the Partnership.
