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.

Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing workovers
during the next few years to enhance production.  The Partnership could
possibly experience the following changes; a slight increase in 1997, another
increase in 1998 and 1999, leveling off in 2000 and beginning a decline in
2001.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $372,807 from $346,587
for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, an increase of
8%.  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 20%, or $3.56 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $56,600 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 82%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and
    1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 30%, or $.60 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $19,300 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $75,900.  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 1,500 barrels or 9% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $32,000 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 6,800 mcf or 21% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $17,500 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $49,500.  The decrease is primarily a result of property
    sales during 1996.  Also contributing to the production decline is the
    natural decline of oil and gas production.  Since the Partnership does
    not drill or purchase oil and gas properties, it is normal to expect
    production to continue to decline over the remaining life of the wells.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $255,783 from $259,845 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 2%.  The decrease
is the result of lower general and administrative expense and depletion
expense, partially offset by an increase in lease operating costs.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 4% higher, or
    approximately $7,400 more during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 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 decreased 3%
    or approximately $1,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $35,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1997 from $44,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 20%.  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 in depletion expense between the comparative periods were
    property sales 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 $206,700 in
the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $151,300 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 investing activities were approximately $700 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $107,100 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 $195,600 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $190,500 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 $195,555 of
which $176,255 was distributed to the limited partners and $19,300 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $16.19.  Total distributions during the
quarter 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 quarter ended March 31, 1996 was
$15.78.  

The sources for the 1997 distributions of $195,555 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $206,700 and the sale of oil and gas properties
of approximately $1,900, offset by the additions to oil and gas properties of
approximately $1,200, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.  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 the additions to oil and
gas properties of approximately $300, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$4,047,793 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1997, $3,661,068
or $336.22 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 67% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $142,300 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.
