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

General

Southwest  Oil  &  Gas Income Fund X-C, L.P. was organized  as  a  Delaware
limited  partnership on September 20, 1991.  The offering of  such  limited
partnership  interests began October 1, 1991 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  January  13,
1992  and  the  offering  concluded on April 30, 1992  with  total  limited
partner contributions of $3,123,000.

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 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.

Based  on  current conditions, management anticipates performing  workovers
during   1997  to  enhance  production.   The  Partnership  could  possibly
experience  the  following changes; a little less than  normal  decline  in
1997, with no decline in 1998 and thereafter, experience a low decline.

    decreased  during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as  compared  to
    the  quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 by 17%, or  $3.49  per  barrel,
    resulting  in  a  decrease of approximately $43,300 in  revenues.   Oil
    sales  represented  72% of total oil and gas sales during  the  quarter
    ended  September 30, 1997 as compared to 78% during the  quarter  ended
    September 30, 1996.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the same period by 13%, or $.28 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $9,400 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $33,900.  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 1,000 barrels or 8% during the 
    quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended 
    September 30, 1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $17,200 in 
    revenues.

    Gas  production decreased approximately 1,800 mcf or 5% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $4,400 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $21,600.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and  expenses decreased to $197,498  from  $225,135  for  the
quarters  ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, 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 $11,900 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
   compared to the quarter ended September 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 decreased
    1% or approximately $100 during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion  expense decreased to $25,000 for the quarter ended September
    30,  1997 from $39,000 for the same period in 1996.  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  decline in depletion expense between the  comparative
    periods  were  the increase in the price of oil used to  determine  the
    Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to 1996 and  the
    decline in gross oil and gas revenues.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $902,921 from $987,545
for  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  a
decrease of 9%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as  compared
    to  the nine months ended September 30, 1996 by 2%, or $.39 per barrel,
    resulting  in  a  decrease of approximately $15,300 in  revenues.   Oil
    sales represented 73% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months
    ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to 77% during  the  nine  months
    ended September 30, 1996.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the same period by 6%, or $.14 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $14,200 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from  oil and gas production is approximately $1,100.  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 4,200 barrels or 11% during the
   nine  months  ended September 30, 1997 as compared to  the  nine  months
   ended  September  30,  1996,  resulting in a decrease  of  approximately
   $79,300 in revenues.

    Gas  production decreased approximately 1,700 mcf or 2% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $4,100 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $83,400.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses decreased to $605,744 from $664,745 for the  nine
months  ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of  9%.
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  3%   lower,   or
   approximately  $17,600 less during the nine months ended  September  30,
   1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 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 decreased 2%
    or  approximately $600 during the nine months ended September 30,  1997
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion  expense  decreased to $80,000  for  the  nine  months  ended
    September  30,  1997 from $116,000 for the same period in  1996.   This
    represents a decrease of 31%.  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 the increase in the price  of  oil  used  to
    determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to
    1996 and the decline in gross 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 $440,000  in
the  nine  months  ended  September 30, 1997 as compared  to  approximately
$430,100  in the nine months ended September 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
($8,600)  in  the  nine  months ended September 30,  1997  as  compared  to
approximately  $221,700 in the nine months ended September 30,  1996.   The
principle  use  of  the 1997 cash flow from investing  activities  was  the
change in oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $568,500 in  the
nine  months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $453,000
in  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1996.  The only use in  financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total  distributions during the nine months ended September 30,  1997  were
$568,500  of  which  $511,650 was distributed to the limited  partners  and
$56,850  to  the  general partners.  The per unit distribution  to  limited
partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $81.92.  Total
distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $452,952
of  which  $413,952 was distributed to the limited partners and $39,000  to
the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $66.27.

The  source  for  the  1997  distributions of  $568,500  was  oil  and  gas
operations of approximately $440,000, partially offset by a change  in  oil
and  gas  property of approximately $8,600, with the balance from available
cash  on  hand  at the beginning of the period.  The sources for  the  1996
distributions  of  $452,952  were oil and gas operations  of  approximately
$430,100  and the change in oil and gas property of approximately $221,700,
resulting in excess cash for contingencies or subsequent distribution.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $2,574,318 have been made to the partners.  As of September  30,  1997,
$2,333,894 or $373.66 per limited partner unit has been distributed to  the
limited partners, representing a 75% return of the capital contributed.

As  of  September 30, 1997, the Partnership had approximately  $193,000  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.
