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.

from $306,211 for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
a decrease of 12%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the
    quarter ended March 31, 1995 by 12%, or $2.02 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $35,100 in income from net profits interests. 
    Oil sales represented 48% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter
    ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 49% during the quarter ended
    March 31, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 11%, or $.21 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $33,200 in income from net profits interests.  

    The total increase in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $68,300. 
    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 3,900 barrels or 22% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $73,100 in income from net
    profits interests.

    Gas production decreased approximately 29,400 mcf or 19% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $62,300 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in production is approximately $135,400.  The decrease is a result of
    downtime due to mechanical failures.

3.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 11% lower, or
    approximately $30,500 less during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The decrease is a result
    of workover costs incurred in 1995.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $111,755 from $139,859 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 20%.  The decrease
is the result of lower general and administrative expense and depletion
expense.

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 2% or
    approximately $1,100 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared
    to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

2.  Depletion expense decreased to $64,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1996 from $91,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents a
    decrease of 30%.  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 decrease in
    production for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same
    period for 1995.  Depletion reflected a comparable decline.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income from
interests 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 $239,800 in
the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $290,800
in the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The primary source of the 1996
cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by investing activities were approximately $5,700 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to none in the three months
ended March 31, 1995.  The principle source of the 1996 cash flow from
investing activities was the sale of oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $299,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $320,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The only use in financing activities
was the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the three months ended March 31, 1996 were
$299,714 of which $270,214 was distributed to the limited partners and
$29,500 to the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited
partners during the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $13.51.  Total
distributions during the three months ended March 31, 1995 were $320,000 of
which $288,000 was distributed to the limited partners and $32,000 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
three months ended March 31, 1995 was $14.40.  

The sources for the 1996 distributions of $299,714 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $239,800 and property sales of approximately
$5,700, with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning of the
period.  The source for the 1995 distributions of $320,000 was oil and gas
operations of approximately $290,800, with the balance from available cash on
hand at the beginning of the period.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$12,468,325 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1996,
$11,234,648 or $561.73 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 112% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $293,800 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.
