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 $143,762 from $191,517
for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of
25%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
    quarter ended June 30, 1996 by 8%, or $1.54 per barrel, resulting in a
    decrease of approximately $13,400 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 87%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to 91% during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 9%, or $.23 per mcf, resulting in a decrease of
    approximately $1,600 in revenues.  

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $15,000.  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 decreased approximately 1,900 barrels or 22% during the
    quarter ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended June 30,
    1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $35,100 in revenues.

    Gas production increased approximately 700 mcf or 10% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $1,700 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $33,400.  The decrease in oil production is primarily
    attributable to a farm-out agreement, which lowered the Partnership's
    interest in the Ballard Grayburg San Andres Unit.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $121,965 from $144,370 for the quarters
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 16%.  The decrease
is the result of lower lease operating costs and depletion expense, partially
offset by an increase in general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 6% lower, or
    approximately $6,300 less during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1996. 

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 5%
    or approximately $900 during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as compared
    to the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $10,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
    1997 from $27,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 63%.  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.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $286,384 from $429,255
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of
33%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
    six months ended June 30, 1996 by 1%, or $.18 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $3,900 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 86%
    of total oil and gas sales during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to 91% during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 8%, or $.19 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $2,900 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $6,800.  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 8,100 barrels or 38% during the
    six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June
    30, 1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $149,200 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 300 mcf or 2% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $800 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $150,000.  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 contributing to the decline is a farm-out agreement, which
    lowered the Partnership's interest in the Ballard Grayburg San Andres
    Unit.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $265,319 from $380,812 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 30%.  The
decrease is the result of lower lease operating cost and depletion expense,
partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 28% lower, or
    approximately $77,000 less during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease is
    primarily attributable to the litigation costs of approximately $56,000
    incurred during the first quarter of 1996 and a farm-out agreement, which
    lowered the Partnership's interest in 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 increased 1%
    or approximately $600 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $20,000 for the six months ended June 30,
    1997 from $59,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 66%.  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, nor does it anticipate any such change.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $103,200 in
the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $48,200 in
the six months ended June 30, 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
$6,500 in the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to approximately
$(9,400) in the six months ended June 30, 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 $112,000 in the
six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $51,100 in the
six months ended June 30, 1996.  The only use in financing activities was the
distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $112,000
of which $100,800 was distributed to the limited partners and $11,200 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
six months ended June 30, 1997 was $9.61.  Total distributions during the six
months ended June 30, 1996 were $51,000 of which $45,900 was distributed to
the limited partners and $5,100 to the general partners.  The per unit
distribution to limited partners during the six months ended June 30, 1996
was $4.38.  

The sources for the 1997 distributions of $112,000 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $103,200 and the net change in oil and gas
properties of approximately $6,500, with the balance from available cash on
hand at the beginning of the period.  The source for the 1996 distributions
of $51,000 was oil and gas operations of approximately $48,200, partially
offset by the net change in oil and gas properties of approximately $9,400,
with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning of the period.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$2,600,906 have been made to the partners.  As of June 30, 1997, $2,391,284
or $228.09 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 46% return of the capital contributed.

As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $45,700 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.
