Notes To Financial Statements

(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
Properties-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 straight-line 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 nine months ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998, the
Partnership was charged $128,889 and $138,894 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
September 30, 1999
The Partnership's average price per barrel of oil for the third quarter of 1999
was $15.80 as compared to $8.44 for the third quarter of 1998. The increased
revenue and related severance tax expense result primarily from the increase in
average oil prices. Certain normal expected declines in production were also
experienced over the past twelve months.
Production expenses for 1999 decreased from the comparable period in 1998, due
to discretionary cost cuts, decreased levels of remedial activity, and
curtailment of marginal production.
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.
