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

General

Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-A, L.P. was organized as a Delaware limited
partnership on January 29, 1990. The offering of such limited partnership
interests began on May 11, 1990 as part of a shelf offering registered under
the name Southwest Oil & Gas 1990-91 Income Program.  Minimum capital
requirements for the Partnership were met on August 15, 1990, with the
offering of limited partnership interests concluding on November 30, 1990,
with total limited partner contributions of $5,242,000.

The Partnership was formed to acquire 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.

    increased during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
    quarter ended September 30, 1995 by 37%, or $5.65 per barrel, resulting
    in an increase of approximately $40,700 in revenues.  Oil sales
    represented 91% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended
    September 30, 1996 as compared to 89% during the quarter ended September
    30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 1%, or $.02 per mcf, resulting in a decrease of
    approximately $100 in revenues.  

    The net total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $40,600.  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 increased approximately 700 barrels or 10% during the
    quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended
    September 30, 1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $14,700 in
    revenues.

    Gas production increased approximately 1,800 mcf or 30% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $3,900 in revenues.

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $18,600.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $163,210 from $167,860 for the quarters
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 3%.  The
decrease is the result of lower lease operating costs, offset by an increase
in general and administrative expense and depletion expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 9% lower, or
    approximately $12,300 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.    General and administrative costs increased 1%
    or approximately $300 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense increased to $25,000 for the quarter ended September
    30, 1996 from $17,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents an
    increase of 47%.  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 increased due to an increase in price
    and production for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
    the same period for 1995.  Depletion reflected a comparable increase.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $611,603 from $474,899
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an
increase of 29%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
    the nine months ended September 30, 1995 by 16%, or $2.57 per barrel,
    resulting in an increase of approximately $68,400 in revenues.  Oil sales
    represented 91% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months ended
    September 30, 1996 as compared to 92% during the nine months ended
    September 30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 17%, or $.35 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $6,600 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $75,000.  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 increased approximately 2,800 barrels or 11% during the
    nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended
    September 30, 1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $53,100 in
    revenues.

    Gas production increased approximately 3,500 mcf or 19% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $8,500 in revenues.

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $61,600.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $544,023 from $525,198 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 4%. 
The increase is the result of higher lease operating costs and depletion
expense, offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 2% higher, or
    approximately $8,200 more during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs decreased 3%
    or approximately $2,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense increased to $84,000 for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1996 from $67,000 for the same period in 1995.  This
    represents an increase of 25%.  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 increased due to an
    increase in price and production for the nine months ended September 30,
    1996 as compared to the same period for 1995.  Depletion reflected a
    comparable increase.

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 $89,600 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $59,400 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The primary source of the 1996
cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $9,500 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $1,300 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The principle use of the 1996 cash
flow from investing activities was the sale of oil and gas properties, offset
by the additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $105,200 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $74,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The only use in financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$105,000 of which $94,500 was distributed to the limited partners and $10,500
to the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $9.01.  Total
distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were $74,000 of
which $67,100 was distributed to the limited partners and $6,900 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $6.40.  

The sources for the 1996 distributions of $105,000 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $89,600 and the sale of oil and gas properties of
approximately $1,000, offset by additions to oil and gas properties of
approximately $10,600, with the balance from available cash on hand at the
beginning of the period.  The sources for the 1995 distributions of $74,000
were oil and gas operations of approximately $59,400 and the sale of oil and
gas properties of approximately $4,000, offset by additions to oil and gas
properties of approximately $5,300, with the balance from available cash on
hand at the beginning of the period.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$2,440,906 have been made to the partners.  As of September 30, 1996,
$2,247,285 or $214.35 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 43% return of the capital contributed.

As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $80,500 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.
