TEXAS PACIFIC LAND TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997
-----------------------------
(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 Texas Pacific Land Trust (Trust) as of March 31, 1997 and December
31, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, respectively.
These financial statements and foot notes included herein should be
read in conjunction with the Trust's annual financial statements as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for each of the years in the three year
period ended December 31, 1996 included in the Trust's Form
10-K.
(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 three months ended March 31, 1997
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 three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 is summarized as follows:
1997 1996
---- ----
Federal income taxes paid $ 102,943 $ 405,809
========== ==========
There were no non-cash investing and financing activities during the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations for the
Three Months Ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996
-----------------------------------
Earnings per sub-share were $.77 for the first quarter of 1997 compared with
$.23 in the first quarter of 1996.
Total revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were $3,642,986 compared with
$1,408,783 in the first quarter of 1996, an increase of 158.6%.
The Trust sold 5,839.39 acres of land for a total of $2,188,172, an average of
$375 per acre, in the first quarter of 1997. In the comparable period of 1996 a
total of 50.22 acres were sold for $351,526, an average of $7,000 per acre.
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 $1,285,946 in the first
quarter of 1997, an increase of 37.1% compared with the first quarter of 1996.
Oil and gas royalty revenue was $1,055,592, up 46.7% compared with the first
quarter of 1996. Oil royalty revenue was $707,220, up 38.9% compared with 1996.
Crude oil production subject to the Trust's royalty interest was up 3.8% in the
first quarter, and the average price per barrel was up 33.8% compared with
1996. Gas royalty revenue was $348,372 in the first quarter, up 65.5% on a
volume decrease of 8.0% and a price increase of 80.0%.
(5)
Management's Discussion (cont'd)
- --------------------------------
Interest revenue increased 41.8% in the first quarter of 1997, compared with
1996. Interest from notes receivable amounted to $139,125, an increase of
68.5%. Notes receivable were $6,082,475 as of March 31, 1997, an increase of
69.4% for the comparable period. Sundry interest was $29,743, down 18.6%
compared with 1996.
Taxes, other than Federal taxes on income, were up 3.6% in the first quarter of
1997 compared with last year.
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.
