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.

                   Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)
                                 June 30, 1999
                                  (Unaudited)

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 six months ended June 30, 1999  and June 30, 1998, the Partnership was
charged $85,926 and $92,596 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.

                   Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)
                                 June 30, 1999
                                  (Unaudited)

The Partnership's average price per barrel of oil for the second quarter of 1999
was $9.60 as compared to $7.24 for the second quarter of 1998. The decreased
revenue and related severance tax expense result primarily from the decrease in
average oil prices.

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.  In addition, several wells were shut-in
temporarily due to low oil prices.

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.
