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

General

Southwest Developmental Drilling Fund 92-A, L.P. (the "Partnership" or
"Registrant") was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on May 5, 1992. 
The offering of limited and general partner interests began August 11, 1992
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 December 28, 1992, with the offering of limited and general
partner interests concluding December 31, 1992, with total investor partner
contributions of $1,407,000.  The Managing General Partner made a
contribution to the capital of the Partnership at the conclusion of the
offering period in an amount equal to 1% of its net capital contributions. 
The Managing General Partner contribution was $12,030, for total capital
contributions of $1,419,030.

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 limited 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 decreased to $107,885 from $133,998
for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a  decrease of
19%.  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 8%, or $1.44 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $8,500 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 76%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to 77% during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 5%, or $.13 per mcf, resulting in a decrease of
    approximately $1,400 in revenues.  

    The net total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $7,100.  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 1,600 barrels or 27% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $30,600 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 1,100 mcf or 9% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $3,000 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $33,600.  The decrease is a result of an anticipated sharp
    decline on one well following a successful workover.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $73,533 from $89,563 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 18%.  The decrease
is the result of lower lease operating costs and depletion expense, offset by
an increase in general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 14% lower, or
    approximately $6,600 less during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The decrease is a result
    of workover costs incurred in 1995.

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 6%
    or approximately $500 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared
    to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $22,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1996 from $32,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents a
    decrease of 31%.  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.  Consequently, depletion
    will generally fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas revenues.  As
    noted above, oil and gas revenues declined due to a decrease in
    production for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same 
    period for 1995.  Depletion reflected a comparable decline.

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 $60,300 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $75,600 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995.  The primary source of the 1996 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Cash flows used in investing activities were none in the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $5,500 in the three months ended
March 31, 1995.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $60,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $67,000 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 $60,000
of which $53,400 was distributed to the limited partners and $6,600 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 was $37.95.  Total distributions during the
three months ended March 31, 1995 were $67,000 of which $59,630 was
distributed to the limited partners and $7,370 to the general partners.  The
per unit distribution to limited partners during the three months ended March
31, 1995 was $42.38.  

The source for the 1996 distributions of $60,000 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $60,300, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.  The source for the 1995 distributions of $67,000
was oil and gas operations of approximately $75,600, offset by additions to
oil and gas properties of approximately $5,500, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$580,215 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1996, $516,767 or
$367.28 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 37% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $63,500 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.
