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.

Based on current conditions, management anticipates participating in a
farmout agreement and performing workovers during the next two years to
enhance production.  The Partnership may undergo an increase later in 1997
and possibly in 1998.  Thereafter, the Partnership could possibly experience
a normal decline of 8% to 10% per year.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $142,622 from $237,738
for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of
40%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 by 15%, or $2.51 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $32,100 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 85%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
    compared to 92% during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 85%, or $1.15 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $16,300 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $48,400.  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 6,600 barrels or 52% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $129,100 in revenues.  

    Gas production decreased approximately 5,700 mcf or 40% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $14,300 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $143,400.  The decrease is primarily attributable to eleven
    months of revenue, on one lease, being held in suspense during litigation
    between a third party operator, the lease's pumper and the Managing
    General Partner.  Upon conclusion of the litigation, all revenues,
    approximately 5,900 barrels of oil, was released during the first quarter
    of 1996.  Also during the first quarter of 1996, approximately 7,100 mcf
    of gas from two leases, which represented twelve months of production,
    was received.  Excluding the effects of the lump sum settlements of oil
    and gas production, oil production decreased approximately 500 barrels or
    11% and gas production increased approximately 1,400 mcf of gas or 20%. 
      
    The Partnership was carried into a project on the Ballard Grayburg San
    Andres Unit to drill five infill producers.  An evaluation, prepared by
    an independent certified petroleum engineer, of the proposed infill
    drilling to determine a fair arrangement for the Partnership to
    participate has resulted in a farm-out agreement with Southwest
    Royalties, Inc., the Managing General Partner, to pay all the
    Partnership's costs in the proposed drilling in return for a working
    interest equal to 90% of the Partnership's combined working interest in
    the Ballard Grayburg San Andres Unit, effective January 1, 1997.  As a
    result, The Partnership had been receiving approximately 450 barrels of
    oil and will now receive approximately 40 barrels of oil from the Ballard
    Grayburg San Andres Unit.  

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $143,354 from $236,443 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 39%.  The decrease
is the result of lower lease operating costs, general and administrative
expense and depletion expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 40% lower, or
    approximately $70,700 less during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease is primarily
    attributable to the litigation costs of approximately $56,000 incurred
    during the first quarter of 1996 and the farm-out agreement, which
    lowered the Partnership's working interest, on the Ballard Grayburg San
    Andres Unit.

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 1%
    or approximately $400 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared
    to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $10,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1997 from $32,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 69%.  Depletion is calculated using the units of 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.  Contributing factors to
    the decline of depletion expense between the comparative periods were a
    decrease in oil and gas revenue and the increase in the price of oil used
    to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared
    to 1996.

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, other than the ones noted above, nor does it anticipate any such
change.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $86,900 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $2,900 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The primary source of the 1997 cash flow from
operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by or (used in) investing activities were approximately
$2,900 in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately
$(2,700) in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The principle source of the
1997 cash flow from investing activities was the sale of oil and gas
properties, partially offset by the additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $87,300 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $11,300 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The only use in financing activities was the
distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were $87,000 of
which $78,300 was distributed to the limited partners and $8,700 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $7.47.  Total distributions during the
quarter 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 quarter ended March 31, 1996 was
$.94.  

The sources for the 1997 distributions of $87,000 were oil and gas operations
of approximately $86,900 and the sale of oil and gas properties of
approximately $5,000, offset by the additions to oil and gas properties of
approximately $2,000, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.  The source for the 1996 distributions of $11,000
was oil and gas operations of approximately $2,900, offset by the additions
to oil and gas properties of approximately $2,700, with the balance from
available cash on hand at the beginning of the period.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$2,575,906 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1997, $2,368,785
or $225.94 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 45% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $35,300 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.
