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 farmout
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.

Net Profits Interests

The Partnership's income from net profits interests decreased to $225,019
from $288,963 for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, a decrease of 22%.  The principal factors affecting the
comparison of the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    decreased during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the
    quarter ended September 30, 1994 by 3%, or $.45 per barrel, resulting in
    a decrease of approximately $9,600 in income from net profits interests. 
    Oil sales represented 49% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter
    ended September 30, 1995 as compared to 53% during the quarter ended
    September 30, 1994.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 12%, or $.23 per mcf, resulting in a decrease
    of approximately $35,800 in income from net profits interests.  

    The total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $45,400. 
    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.

2.  Oil production decreased approximately 5,500 barrels or 26% during the
    quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the quarter ended
    September 30, 1994, resulting in a decrease of approximately $89,300 in
    income from net profits interests.

    Gas production decreased approximately 4,500 mcf or 3% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $8,000 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in production is approximately $97,300.  The decrease is a result of
    increased downtime due to mechanical failures.

3.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 21% lower, or
    approximately $78,700 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1994.  The decrease is a
    result of workovers on wells in 1994.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $115,448 from $176,535 for the quarters
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, a decrease of 35%.  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 6%
    or approximately $2,100 during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1994.

2.  Depletion expense decreased to $80,000 for the quarter ended
    September 30, 1995 from $139,000 for the same period in 1994.  This
    represents a decrease of 42%.  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.  As noted above, oil and gas revenues declined due to a decline
    in price and production for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as
    compared to the same period for 1994.  Depletion reflected a comparable
    decline.

Net Profits Interests

The Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to $816,059
from $724,299 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, an increase of 13%.  The principal factors affecting the
comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 are as
follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to
    the nine months ended September 30, 1994 by 12%, or $1.75 per barrel,
    resulting in an increase of approximately $100,600 in income from net
    profits interests.  Oil sales represented 49% of total oil and gas sales
    during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to 50% during
    the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 7%, or $.13 per mcf, resulting in a decrease of
    approximately $59,200 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 $41,400. 
    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 9,400 barrels or 16% during the
    nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the nine months ended
    September 30, 1994, resulting in a decrease of approximately $159,000 in
    income from net profits interests.

    Gas production increased approximately 7,300 mcf or 2% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $13,300 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The net decrease in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in production is approximately $145,700.  The decrease is a result of
    increased downtime due to mechanical failures.

3.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 19% lower, or
    approximately $195,600 less during the nine months ended September 30,
    1995 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  The
    decrease is a result of increased salt water disposal income in 1995 and
    workovers on wells in 1994.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $375,988 from $495,286 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, a decrease of 24%. 
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 $5,300 during the nine months ended September 30, 1995
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

2.  Depletion expense decreased to $253,000 for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1995 from $367,000 for the same period in 1994.  This
    represents a decrease of 31%.  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.  As noted above, oil and gas revenues declined due to a decline
    in gas price and oil production for the nine months ended September 30,
    1995 as compared to the same period for 1994.  Depletion reflected a
    comparable decline.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary source of cash is from profitable operations.  The Partnership
knows of no material change, nor does it anticipate any such change.

<PAGE>
Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $785,200 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to approximately
$740,700 in the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  The source of the 1995
cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

No cash flows were provided by investing activities in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to approximately $4,800 of cash provided from
the sale of oil and gas properties in the nine months ended September 30,
1994.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $786,800 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to approximately $557,800 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  The only use in financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were
$787,000, of which $708,300 was distributed to the limited partners and
$78,700 was distributed to the general partners.  The per unit distribution
to limited partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$35.42.  Total distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1994
were $558,000, of which $502,200 was distributed to the limited partners and
$55,800 was distributed to the general partners.  The per unit distribution
to limited partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was
$25.11.  The source for the 1995 distributions of $787,000 was oil and gas
operations of approximately $785,200, with the balance from available cash on
hand at the beginning of the period.  The sources for the 1994 distributions
of $558,000 was oil and gas operations of approximately $740,700 and property
sales of approximately $4,800, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$11,946,270 have been made to the partners.  As of September 30, 1995,
$10,762,593 or $538.13 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 108% return of the capital contributed.

As of September 30, 1995, the Partnership had approximately $374,300 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.
