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

General

Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-B, L.P. was organized as a Delaware limited
partnership on November 27, 1990. The offering of such limited partnership
interests began on December 1, 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 March 1, 1991, with the offering
of limited partnership interests concluding on September 30, 1991, with total
limited partner contributions of $5,444,500.

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 farmout
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 $390,300 from $372,803
for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of
5%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
    quarter ended June 30, 1995 by 17%, or $2.95 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $55,200 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 82%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as
    compared to 87% during the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 66%, or $.89 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $33,000 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $88,200.  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 decreased approximately 2,900 barrels or 16% during the
    quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended June 30,
    1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $58,600 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 5,300 mcf or 14% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $11,900 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $70,500.  The decrease is primarily a result of property
    sales. 

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $310,667 from $301,115 for the quarters
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 3%.  The increase
is the result of higher lease operating costs, offset by lower general and
administrative expense and depletion expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 10% higher, or
    approximately $21,400 more during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  The increase is primarily
    a result of converting a well to an injection well to provide support to
    the three producing wells on the lease. 

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 $500 during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared
    to the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $49,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
    1996 from $58,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents a
    decrease of 16%.  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.  

    Two factors that attributed to the decline in depletion expense between
    the comparative periods were the increase in the price of oil and gas
    used to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1996 as
    compared to 1995 and the increase in property sales.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $736,887 from $771,957
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of
5%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
    six months ended June 30, 1995 by 13%, or $2.18 per barrel, resulting in
    an increase of approximately $84,800 in revenues.  Oil sales represented
    82% of total oil and gas sales during the six months ended June 30, 1996
    as compared to 85% during the six months ended June 30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 42%, or $.62 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $49,200 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $134,000.  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 7,200 barrels or 19% during the
    six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the six months ended June
    30, 1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $136,700 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 15,400 mcf or 19% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $32,500 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $169,200.  The decrease is primarily a result of property
    sales.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $570,512 from $595,195 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 4%.  The
decrease is the result of lower general and administrative expense and
depletion expense, offset by higher lease operating costs.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 2% higher, or
    approximately $6,700 more during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as
    compared to the six months ended June 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 5%
    or approximately $2,300 during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $93,000 for the six months ended June 30,
    1996 from $119,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents a
    decrease of 22%.  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.  

    Three factors that attributed to the decline in depletion expense between
    the comparative periods were the increase in the price of oil and gas
    used to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1996 as
    compared to 1995, the increase in property sales and the decrease in oil
    and gas revenues.

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 $268,500 in
the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $302,000 in
the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The primary source of the 1996 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by or (used in) investing activities were approximately
$119,700 in the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to approximately
$(350) in the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The principle source of the
1996 cash flow from investing activities was the sale of oil and gas
properties and equipment, offset by the additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $400,300 in the
six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $293,000 in the
six months ended June 30, 1995.  The only use in financing activities was the
distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $400,307
of which $360,807 was distributed to the limited partners and $39,500 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
six months ended June 30, 1996 was $33.13.  Total distributions during the
six months ended June 30, 1995 were $293,000 of which $263,700 was
distributed to the limited partners and $29,300 to the general partners.  The
per unit distribution to limited partners during the six months ended June 
30, 1995 was $24.22.

The  sources  for  the  1996  distributions  of  $400,307  were oil and gas 
operations of approximately $268,500 and the sale of oil and gas properties
of approximately $124,100, offset by the addition to oil and gas properties
of approximately $4,400, with the balance from available cash on hand at the
beginning of the period.  The sources for the 1995 distributions of $293,000
were oil and gas operations of approximately $302,000 and the sale of oil and
gas properties of approximately $6,400, offset by the additions to oil and
gas properties of approximately $6,700, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$3,527,238 have been made to the partners.  As of June 30, 1996, $3,192,313
or $293.17 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 59% return of the capital contributed.

As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $175,000 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.
