                           TEXAS PACIFIC LAND TRUST
                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1996



(1)     In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited financial
        statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
        accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
        Trust as of June 30, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash
        flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
        1995, respectively.

(2)     No value is assigned to the land; consequently, no allowance for
        depletion is computed, and no charge to income is made therefor, and no
        cost is deducted from the proceeds of the land sales in computing gain
        or loss thereon.

(3)     The Sub-shares and the Certificates of Proprietary Interest are freely
        interchangeable in the ratio of one Certificate of Proprietary
        Interest for 600 Sub-shares or 600 Sub-shares for one Certificate of
        Proprietary Interest.

(4)     The Trust's effective Federal income tax rate is less than the 34%
        statutory rate because taxable income is reduced by statutory percentage
        depletion allowed on mineral royalty income.

(5)     The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are
        not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
        year.

(6)     Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in money market
        instruments with maturities of ninety days or less.  Such investments
        are deemed to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of
        cash flows.

        Supplemental cash flow information for the six months ended June 30,
        1996 and 1995 is summarized as follows:

                                                  1996            1995
                                                  ----            ----

        Federal income taxes paid              $1,085,810       $1,010,000
                                               ==========       ==========

        There were no non-cash investing and financing activities during the
        six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

                         Management's Discussion and
                     Analysis of Financial Condition and
                            Results of Operations
                     -----------------------------------



Earnings per sub-share were $.36 for the second quarter of 1996 compared with
$.39 in the second quarter of 1995.

Total revenues for the second quarter of 1996 were $2,744,099 compared with
$2,181,662 in the second quarter of 1995, an increase of 25.8%. The reason for
decreased earnings at a time of increased revenues was a land cost basis (from
repossession) of $802,046 on land which sold at $1,000,000 during the quarter.
As indicated in note 2 to the financial statements, land sold by the Trust
typically has no related costs.

The Trust had three land sales in El Paso County in the second quarter,
totaling 395.32 acres, and one sale of 320 acres in Hudspeth County for total
consideration of $1,262,194, an average of $1,765 per acre. This compares to
14,711 acres for $1,053,258, an average of $72 per acre in the second quarter
of 1995. 

Land sales may vary widely from year to year and quarter to quarter.  The total
dollar amount, the average price per acre, and the number of acres sold in any
one year or quarter should not be assumed to be indicative of land sales in the
future.  The Trust is a passive seller of land; it does not actively solicit
sales of land.  The demand for and the sales price of any particular tract of
the Trust's land is influenced by many factors including the national and local
economies, the rate of residential and commercial development in nearby areas,
livestock carrying capacity, and the conditions of the local agricultural
industry which itself is influenced by range conditions and prices for
livestock and other agricultural products.  Approximately 99% of the Trust's
land is classified as ranch land and intermingled with other ownerships to form
ranching units.  Ranch land sales are, therefore, largely dependent on the
actions of the adjoining landowners.

Rentals, royalties and sundry income amounted to $1,371,296 for the second 
quarter compared to $974,940 for the second quarter of 1995, up 40.7%.

Oil and gas royalty revenue was $817,898 up 29.4% for the period.  Oil royalty
revenue was $582,321, up 27.2% compared with 1995. Crude oil production 
subject to the Trust's royalty interest was up 11.4% in the second quarter, 
and the average price per barrel was up 14.2% compared to 1995. Gas royalty 
revenue was $235,577 in the second quarter, up 35.0% on a volume decrease of 
21.5% and a price increase of 71.5%.

Management's Discussion (cont'd)

Interest revenue was down 27.9% in the second quarter, compared with 1995.  
Interest from notes receivable amounted to $87,306 in the second quarter, and
$169,889 in the first six months, down 30.9% and 31.9% respectively for the
second quarter and first six months.  Notes receivable have decreased from
$5,318,751 to $4,201,182 or 21.0% in the period since June 30, 1995.  Sundry 
interest for the second quarter was $23,303, down 13.9% and for the first six
months was $59,848 down 1.7% compared to 1995.

Taxes, other than Federal taxes on income, were up 10.0% in the second quarter
and 9.5% in the first six months of 1996.

The Trust's oil and gas royalty revenues, lease rentals and receipts of interest
and principal on notes receivable has generated more than adequate amounts of
cash to meet the Trust's needs and should continue to do so in the predictable
future.
