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

General

Southwest Royalties Institutional 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 December 1, 1990 as part of a shelf
offering registered under the name Southwest Royalties Institutional 1990-91
Income Program.  Minimum capital requirements for the Partnership were met on
March 11, 1991, with the offering of limited partnership interests concluding
September 30, 1991, with total limited partner contributions of $5,590,500.

The Partnership was formed to acquire royalty and net profits 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 income from net profits interests decreased to $115,734
from $122,412 for the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, a decrease of 5%.  The principal factors affecting the
comparison of the quarters ended September 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 September 30, 1996 as compared to the
    quarter ended September 30, 1995 by 28%, or $4.47 per barrel, resulting
    in an increase of approximately $86,700 in income from net profits
    interests.  Oil sales represented 80% of total oil and gas sales during
    the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 82% during the
    quarter ended September 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 $27,700 in income from net profits interests.  

    The total increase in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $114,400. 
    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 5,400 barrels or 28% during the
    quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended
    September 30, 1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $110,400 in
    income from net profits interests.

    Gas production decreased approximately 10,700 mcf or 24% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $22,600 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in production is approximately $133,000.  The decrease is primarily
    attributable to property sales.

3.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 5% lower, or
    approximately $12,500 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $63,192 from $87,138 for the quarters
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 27%.  The
decrease is the result of lower depletion expense, offset by an increase in
general and administrative expense.

1.  General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs increased 2%
    or approximately $300 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  

2.  Depletion expense decreased to $45,000 for the quarter ended September
    30, 1996 from $67,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents a
    decrease of 33%.  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.

Revenues

The Partnership's income from net profits interests decreased to $396,672
from $451,294 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, a decrease of 12%.  The principal factors affecting the
comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are as
follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
    the nine months ended September 30, 1995 by 18%, or $3.02 per barrel,
    resulting in an increase of approximately $180,300 in income from net
    profits interests.  Oil sales represented 80% of total oil and gas sales
    during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 83% during
    the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 41%, or $.61 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $81,400 in income from net profits interests.  

    The total increase in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $261,700. 
    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 15,200 barrels or 25% during the
    nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended
    September 30, 1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $299,000 in
    income from net profits interests.

    Gas production decreased approximately 29,900 mcf or 22% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $62,500 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in production is approximately $361,500.  The decrease is primarily
    attributable to property sales.

3.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 6% lower, or
    approximately $45,400 less during the nine months ended September 30,
    1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $201,121 from $284,295 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 29%. 
The decrease is the result of lower general and administrative expense and
depletion expense.

1.  General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs decreased 2%
    or approximately $1,400 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

2.  Depletion expense decreased to $136,000 for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1996 from $213,000 for the same period in 1995.  This
    represents a decrease of 36%.  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
    reserves.

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 $333,900 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately
$412,500 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The primary source of
the 1996 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by investing activities were approximately $124,600 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $1 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The principle source of the 1996
cash flow from investing activities was the sale of oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $672,600 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $379,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The only use in financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$672,613 of which $612,613 was distributed to the limited partners and
$60,000 to the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited
partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $54.79.  Total
distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were $379,000
of which $341,100 was distributed to the limited partners and $37,900 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $30.51.  

The sources for the 1996 distributions of $672,613 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $333,900 and the sale of oil and gas properties
of approximately $124,600, with the balance from available cash on hand at
the beginning of the period.  The source for the 1995 distributions of
$379,000 was oil and gas operations of approximately $412,500, resulting in
excess cash for contingencies and subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$3,692,971 have been made to the partners.  As of September 30, 1996,
$3,367,358 or $301.17 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 60% return of the capital contributed.

As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $136,300 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.
