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 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 decreased to $346,587 from $399,154
for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of
13%.  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 8%, or $1.38 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $27,900 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 82%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to 83% during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 22%, or $.36 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $15,200 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $43,100.  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 4,300 barrels or 21% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $76,500 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 10,100 mcf or 24% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $20,000 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $96,500.  The decrease is a result of mechanical and
    equipment failures and property sales.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $259,845 from $294,081 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 12%.  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 7% lower, or
    approximately $14,700 less during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 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 6%
    or approximately $1,800 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $44,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1996 from $61,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents a
    decrease 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 declined due to a decrease in
    production for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same
    period for 1995.  Depletion reflected a comparable decline.

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 $151,300 in
the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $159,100
in the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The primary source of the 1996
cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by investing activities were approximately $107,100 in
the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $2,300 in
the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The principle source 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 $190,500 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $153,700 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
$190,307 of which $171,807 was distributed to the limited partners and
$18,500 to the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited
partners during the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $15.78.  Total
distributions during the three months ended March 31, 1995 were $154,000 of
which $138,600 was distributed to the limited partners and $15,400 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
three months ended March 31, 1995 was $12.73.  

The sources for the 1996 distributions of $190,307 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $151,300 and the sale of oil and gas properties
of approximately $107,400, offset by additions to oil and gas properties of
approximately $300, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or subsequent
distributions.  The sources for the 1995 distributions of $154,000 were oil
and gas operations of approximately $159,100 and the sale of oil and gas
properties of approximately $2,300, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$3,317,238 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1996, $3,003,313
or $275.81 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 55% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $242,700 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.
