2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     The  interim financial information as of March 31, 2000, and  for  the
     three  months ended March 31, 2000, is unaudited.  Certain information
     and  footnote  disclosures normally included in  financial  statements
     prepared  in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
     have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules
     and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.   However,
     in  the  opinion  of  management, these interim  financial  statements
     include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of
     the interim periods and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring
     nature.  The interim consolidated financial statements should be  read
     in  conjunction  with the audited financial statements  for  the  year
     ended December 31, 1999.

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 does not  anticipate  performing
workovers during the next few years to enhance production.

Oil and Gas Properties

Oil  and  gas  properties  are accounted for at cost  under  the  full-cost
method.  Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred
in  connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and
gas  reserves  are capitalized.  Gain or loss on the sale of  oil  and  gas
properties  is not recognized unless significant oil and gas  reserves  are
involved.

The  Partnership's policy for depreciation, depletion and  amortization  of
oil  and  gas  properties is computed under the units  of  revenue  method.
Under the units of revenue method, depreciation, depletion and amortization
is  computed  on  the  basis of current gross revenues from  production  in
relation  to future gross revenues, based on current prices, from estimated
production of proved oil and gas reserves.

Should the net capitalized costs exceed the estimated present value of  oil
and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, such excess costs would be charged  to
current  expense.  As of March 31, 2000, the net capitalized costs did  not
exceed the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $255,066 from $129,993
for  the  quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, an increase
of  96%.   The  principal factors affecting the comparison of the  quarters
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared  to  the
    quarter  ended March 31, 1999 by 168%, or $16.32 per barrel,  resulting
    in  an  increase  of  approximately $181,200  in  revenues.  Oil  sales
    represented  86% of total oil and gas sales during the  quarters  ended
    March  31,  2000 as compared to 83% during the quarter ended March  31,
    1999.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the same period by 59%, or $1.06 per mcf, resulting in
    an increase of approximately $13,000 in revenues.

    The  total  increase in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from  oil  and  gas production is approximately $194,200.   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 2,700 barrels or 24% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1999, resulting in a decrease of approximately $70,300 in revenues.

    Gas  production increased approximately 400 mcf or 3% during  the  same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $1,100 in revenues.

    The  net total decrease in revenues due to the change in production  is
    approximately  $69,200.   The  decrease  in  oil  production  was   due
    primarily to the sharp decline in one lease.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and  expenses increased to $187,818  from  $158,269  for  the
quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, an increase  of  19%.
The  increase  is  the  result of higher lease operating  costs,  partially
offset  by  a decrease in general and administrative expense and  depletion
expense.

1.  Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  29%  higher,  or
    approximately $35,500 more during the quarter ended March 31,  2000  as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999.  The increase is  due  to
    major repairs and maintenance being preformed on three leases.

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  $1,000 during the quarter ended March  31,  2000  as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

3.  Depletion  expense decreased to $9,000 for the quarter ended March  31,
    2000  from  $14,000  for the same period in 1999.   This  represents  a
    decrease  of 36%.  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 decrease in depletion expense between the  comparative
    periods  was  the  increase in the price of oil used to  determine  the
    Partnership's reserves, and the increase in oil and gas sales.

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 (used in) operating activities were  approximately
$88,900  in  the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared to  approximately
$(28,700) in the quarter ended March 31, 1999.  The primary source  of  the
2000 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash  flows used in investing activities were approximately $10,000 in  the
quarter  ended  March  31, 2000 as compared to approximately  $500  in  the
quarter ended March 31, 1999.  The principle use of the 2000 cash flow from
investing activities was the additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash  flows used in financing activities were approximately $74,900 in  the
quarter  ended March 31, 2000.  There were no cash flows used in  financing
activities in the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

Total distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $75,000 of
which  $67,500  was distributed to the limited partners and $7,500  to  the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $6.20.  There were no distributions during
the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

The  sources  for  the  2000  distributions of $75,000  were  oil  and  gas
operations  of  approximately $88,900 net of the  change  of  oil  and  gas
properties  of  approximately  $10,000,  resulting  in  excess   cash   for
contingencies or subsequent distributions to partners.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $4,719,295  have  been made to the partners.  As  of  March  31,  2000,
$4,273,820 or $392.49 per limited partner unit has been distributed to  the
limited partners, representing a 78% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership had approximately $148,200 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.

Liquidity - Managing General Partner

The  Managing General Partner has a highly leveraged capital structure with
over  $50.1  million principal and $17.5 million interest payments  due  in
2000  on  its  debt  obligations. Due to the severely  depressed  commodity
prices  experienced  during the last quarter of 1997, throughout  1998  and
continuing through the second quarter of 1999 the Managing General  Partner
is  experiencing difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to meet  its
obligations  and sustain its operations.  The Managing General  Partner  is
currently  in  the  process  of renegotiating  the  terms  of  its  various
obligations  with its creditors and/or attempting to seek  new  lenders  or
equity  investors.   Additionally,  the  Managing  General  Partner   would
consider disposing of certain assets in order to meet its obligations.

There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the Managing  General  Partner's  debt
restructuring efforts will be successful or that the lenders will agree  to
a   course   of  action  consistent  with  the  Managing  General  Partners
requirements  in restructuring the obligations.  Even if such agreement  is
reached,  it  may  require approval of additional  lenders,  which  is  not
assured.   Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the sales of  assets
can  be  successfully  accomplished on terms  acceptable  to  the  Managing
General   Partner.   Under  current  circumstances,  the  Managing  General
Partner's  ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its  ability
to  (1)  successfully  restructure  its obligations  or  obtain  additional
financing  as  may  be  required, (2) maintain  compliance  with  all  debt
covenants, (3) generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations  on  a
timely  basis, and (4) achieve satisfactory levels of future earnings.   If
the  Managing  General Partner is unsuccessful in its efforts,  it  may  be
unable to meet its obligations making it necessary to undertake such  other
actions as may be appropriate to preserve asset values.
