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

General

Southwest Developmental Drilling Fund 91-A, L.P. was organized as a Delaware
limited partnership on January 7, 1991.  The offering of such limited and
general partner interests began September 17, 1991 as part of a shelf
offering registered under the name Southwest Developmental Drilling Program
1991-92.  Minimum capital requirements for the partnership were met on April
22, 1992, with the offering of limited and general partner interests
concluding April 30, 1992, with total investor partner contributions of
$1,144,500.  The Managing General Partner made a contribution to the capital
of the Partnership at the conclusion of its offering period in an amount
equal to 1% of its net capital contributions.  The Managing General Partner's
contribution was $9,800.  The total capital contributions are $1,154,300.

The Partnership was formed to engage primarily in the business of drilling
developmental and exploratory wells, to produce and market crude oil and
natural gas produced from such properties, to distribute any net proceeds
from operations to the general and investor partners and to the extent
necessary, acquire leases which contain drilling prospects.  Net revenues
will not be reinvested in other revenue producing assets except to the extent
that performance of remedial work is needed to improve a well's producing
capabilities.  The economic life of the Partnership thus depends on the
period over which the Partnership's oil and gas reserves are economically
recoverable.

The Partnership has expended its capital and acquired leasehold interests and
completed drilling operations.  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, increases and decreases in 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 increased to $84,537 from $75,280 for
the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 12%. 
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 7%, or $1.17 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $4,200 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 85%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and
    1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 9%, or $.17 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $1,000 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $5,200.  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 increased approximately 200 barrels or 6% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $3,800 in revenues.

    Gas production increased approximately 200 mcf or 3% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $400 in revenues.

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $4,200.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $107,462 from $58,178 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 85%.  The
increase is the result of higher lease operating costs and general and
administrative expense, offset by a decline in depletion expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 192% higher, or
    approximately $49,900 more during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The increase is a result
    of workover on one lease during 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 increased 5%
    or approximately $400 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared
    to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $21,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1996 from $22,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents a
    decrease of 5%.  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.  Although oil and gas
    sales increased for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the
    quarter ended March 31, 1995, the decrease in depletion expense is the
    result of the change in oil prices since 1995.

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 $14,500 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $48,100 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995.  The primary source of the 1996 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

<PAGE>
Cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $200 in the three
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to none in the three months ended
March 31, 1995.  The principle use of the 1996 cash flow in investing
activities was the additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $42,100 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $54,000 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 $42,000
of which $37,380 was distributed to the limited partners and $4,620 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 was $32.66.  Total distributions during the
three months ended March 31, 1995 were $54,000 of which $48,060 was
distributed to the limited partners and $5,940 to the general partners.  The
per unit distribution to limited partners during the three months ended March
31, 1995 was $41.99.  

The source for the 1996 distributions of $42,000 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $14,500, offset by the additions to oil and gas properties
of approximately $200, with the balance from available cash on hand at the
beginning of the period.  The source for the 1995 distributions of $54,000
was oil and gas operations of approximately $48,100, with the balance from
available cash on hand at the beginning of the period.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$586,240 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1996, $523,665 or
$457.55 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 46% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $37,500 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.
