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.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $237,738 from $178,403
for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of
33%.  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 4%, or $.69 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $7,000 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 92%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to 93% during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 30%, or $.57 per mcf, resulting in a decrease
    of approximately $3,800 in revenues.  

    The net total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $3,200.  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.

2.  Oil production increased approximately 2,700 barrels or 27% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $46,000 in revenues.

    Gas production increased approximately 7,600 mcf or 115% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $10,300 in revenues.

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $56,300.  

    The change in production is primarily attributable to eleven months of
    revenue, on one lease, being held in suspense during litigation between
    a third party operator, a pumper and the Managing General Partner.  Upon
    conclusion of the litigation, all revenues were released.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $236,443 from $184,957 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 28%.  The
increase is the result of higher lease operating costs and depletion
expenses, offset by a decline in general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 37% higher, or
    approximately $47,600 more during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The increase in lease
    operating costs is primarily attributable to litigation costs, on one
    lease, of approximately $56,000.

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 4%
    or approximately $1,200 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense increased to $32,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1996 from $25,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents an
    increase of 28%.  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 March 31, 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 $2,900 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $29,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995.  The primary source of the 1996 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $2,700 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $2,200 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995.  The principle use of the 1996 cash flow
from investing activities was the additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $11,300 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $28,900 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 $11,000
of which $9,900 was distributed to the limited partners and $1,100 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 was $.94.  Total distributions during the
three months ended March 31, 1995 were $29,000 of which $26,100 was
distributed to the limited partners and $2,900 to the general partners.  The
per unit distribution to limited partners during the three months ended March
31, 1995 was $2.49.  

The source for the 1996 distributions of $11,000 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $2,900, offset by the addition of oil and gas properties of
approximately $2,700, with the balance from available cash on hand at the
beginning of the period.  The source for the 1995 distributions of $29,000
was oil and gas operations of approximately $29,000, offset by the addition
of oil and gas properties of approximately $2,200, with the balance from
available cash on hand at the beginning of the period.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$2,346,906 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1996, $2,162,685
or $206.28 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 41% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $62,500 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.
