Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

General

Southwest Royalties, Inc. Income Fund VI was organized as a Tennessee limited
partnership on December 4, 1986. The offering of such limited partnership
interests began August 25, 1986, minimum capital requirements were met
October 3, 1986 and concluded January 29, 1987, with total limited partner
contributions of $10,000,000.

The Partnership was formed to acquire royalty and net profits interests in
producing oil and gas properties, to produce and market crude oil and natural
gas produced from such properties, and to distribute the net proceeds from
operations to the limited and general partners.  Net revenues from producing
oil and gas properties will not be reinvested in other revenue producing
assets except to the extent that production facilities and wells are improved
or reworked or where methods are employed to improve or enable more efficient
recovery of oil and gas reserves.

Increases or decreases in Partnership revenues and, therefore, distributions
to partners will depend primarily on changes in the prices received for
production, changes in volumes of production sold, lease operating expenses,
enhanced recovery projects, offset drilling activities pursuant to farm-out
arrangements, sales of properties, and the depletion of wells.  Since wells
deplete over time, production can generally be expected to decline from year
to year.

Well operating costs and general and administrative costs usually decrease
with production declines; however, these costs may not decrease
proportionately.  Net income available for distribution to the partners is
therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these factors.

100 barrels or mcf, respectively.

Revenues:

The Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to $284,828
from $265,823 for the quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, an
increase of 7%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
    quarter ended June 30, 1994 by 12%, or $1.97 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $39,200 in income from net profits interests. 
    Oil sales represented 49% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter
    ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 52% during the quarter ended June 30,
    1994.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 10%, or $.19 per mcf, resulting in a decrease
    of approximately $28,100 in income from net profits interests.  

    The net increase in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $11,100. 
    The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile over the
    past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to
    continue in the foreseeable future.

<PAGE>
2.  Oil production decreased approximately 5,000 barrels or 25% during the
    quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the quarter ended June 30,
    1994, resulting in a decrease of approximately $89,300 in income from net
    profits interests.

    Gas production increased approximately 5,600 mcf or 4% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $10,000 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The net decrease in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in production is approximately $79,300.  The decrease is a result of
    decreased oil production due to one well being shut-in, and downtime
    experienced by three wells due to workovers.

3.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 26% lower, or
    approximately $88,500 less during the quarter ended June 30, 1995 as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1994.  The decrease is a result of
    increased salt water disposal revenues that offset lease operating costs
    in 1995 and decreased workover costs in 1995 as compared to 1994.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $120,680 from $166,727 for the quarters
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, a decrease of 28%.  The decrease
is the result of a decrease in general and administrative expense and
depletion.

1.  General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs decreased 3%
    or approximately $1,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1995 as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1994.

2.  Depletion expense decreased to $82,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
    1995 from $127,000 for the same period in 1994.  This represents a
    decrease of 35%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross revenue method
    of amortization based on a percentage of current period gross revenues to
    total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated by the
    Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.  Consequently, depletion
    will generally fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas revenues. 
    Although oil and gas revenues increased for the quarter ended June 30,
    1995 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the decrease in
    depletion expense is the result of the change in oil prices since 1994.

B.  General Comparison of the Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994

The following table provides certain information regarding performance
factors for the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994:

                                                Six Months    
                                                   Ended         Percentage

*In the Form 10-Q, for the six months ended June 30, 1994, the oil and gas
production volumes were calculated by rounding to the nearest 500 barrels or
mcf, respectively.  In the Form 10-Q, for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
the oil and gas production volumes were calculated by rounding to the nearest
100 barrels or mcf, respectively.

Revenues:

The Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to $591,040
from $435,338 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
an increase of 36%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
    six months ended June 30, 1994 by 21%, or $2.98 per barrel, resulting in
    an increase of approximately $108,200 in income from net profits
    interests.  Oil sales represented 49% of total oil and gas sales during
    the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 47% during the six
    months ended June 30, 1994.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 4%, or $.07 per mcf, resulting in a decrease of
    approximately $21,000 in income from net profits interests.  

    The net increase in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $87,200. 
    The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile over the
    past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to
    continue in the foreseeable future.

<PAGE>
2.  Oil production decreased approximately 4,000 barrels or 11% during the
    six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the six months ended June
    30, 1994, resulting in a decrease of approximately $69,000 in income from
    net profits interests.

    Gas production increased approximately 11,800 mcf or 4% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $21,800 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The net decrease in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in production is approximately $47,200.  The decrease is a result of
    decreased oil production due to one well being shut-in, and downtime
    experienced by one well due to a workover.

3.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 18% lower, or
    approximately $116,800 less during the six months ended June 30, 1995 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994.  The decrease is a result
    of increased salt water disposal revenues that offset lease operating
    costs in 1995 and decreased workover costs in 1995 as compared to 1994.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $260,540 from $318,753 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, a decrease of 18%.  The
decrease is the result of a decrease in general and administrative expense
and depletion.

1.  General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs decreased 4%
    or approximately $3,200 during the six months ended June 30, 1995 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994.  

2.  Depletion expense decreased to $173,000 for the six months ended June 30,
    1995 from $228,000 for the same period in 1994.  This represents a
    decrease of 24%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross revenue method
    of amortization based on a percentage of current period gross revenues to
    total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated by the
    Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.  Consequently, depletion
    will generally fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas revenues. 
    Although oil and gas revenues increased for the six months ended June 30,
    1995 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994, the decrease in
    depletion expense is the result of the change in oil prices since 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income from net
profits in oil and gas properties.  The Partnership knows of no material
change, nor does it anticipate any such change.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $572,100 in
the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to approximately $442,500 in
the six months ended June 30, 1994.  Primary source of the 1995 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

<PAGE>
There were no cash flows provided by or used in investing activities in the
six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to approximately $3,800 of cash
provided from the sale of oil and gas properties in the six months ended June
30, 1994.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $579,000 in the
six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to approximately $322,600 in the
six months ended June 30, 1994.  The only use in financing activities was the
distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $579,000
of which $521,100 was distributed to the limited partners and $57,900 was
distributed to the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited
partners during the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $26.06.  Total
distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1994 were $323,000 of
which $290,700 was distributed to the limited partners and $32,300 was
distributed to the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited
partners during the six months ended June 30, 1994 was $14.54.  The source
for the 1995 distributions of $579,000 was oil and gas operations of
approximately $572,100, with the balance from available cash on hand at the
beginning of the period.  The sources for the 1994 distributions of $323,000
were oil and gas operations of approximately $442,500 and equipment sales of
approximately $3,800, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$11,738,270 have been made to the partners.  As of June 30, 1995, $10,575,393
or $528.77 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 100% return of the original capital contributed and
a 6% return on the contributed capital.

As of June 30, 1995, the Partnership had approximately $391,500 in working
capital.  The Managing General Partner knows of no unusual contractual
commitments and believes the revenues generated from operations are adequate
to meet the needs of the Partnership.
