                      Notes to Financial Statements

1.  Organization
          Southwest Royalties, Inc. Income Fund VI was organized under  the
    laws of the state of Tennessee on December 4, 1986, for the purpose  of
    acquiring  producing oil and gas properties and to produce  and  market
    crude  oil and natural gas produced from such properties for a term  of
    50  years, unless terminated at an earlier date as provided for in  the
    Partnership  Agreement.   The  Partnership  sells  its  oil   and   gas
    production to a variety of purchasers with the prices it receives being
    dependent  upon the oil and gas economy.  Southwest Royalties,  Inc.  a
    wholly owned subsidiary of Clayton Williams Energy, Inc., serves as the
    Managing  General Partner.  Revenues, costs and expenses are  allocated
    as follows:
                              Limited   General

         contributions  will  be paid by the Managing General  Partner  and
         will  be treated as a capital contribution.  The Partnership  paid
         the  Managing  General Partner an amount equal to  3%  of  initial
         capital contributions for such organization costs.

         (2)Administrative costs in any year, which exceed  2%  of  capital
         contributions  shall be paid by the Managing General  Partner  and

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     The  interim financial information as of September 30, 2005,  and  for
     the  three  and  nine months ended September 30, 2005,  is  unaudited.
     Certain  information  and footnote disclosures  normally  included  in
     financial  statements prepared in accordance with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q
     pursuant  to the rules and regulations of the Securities and  Exchange
     Commission.  However,  in  the opinion of  management,  these  interim
     financial  statements include all the necessary adjustments to  fairly
     present  the  results of the interim periods and all such  adjustments
     are  of a normal recurring nature.  The interim consolidated financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's Annual
     Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

     In September 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
     Accounting  Bulletin No. 106 ("SAB 106"). SAB 106  expresses  the  SEC
     staff's views regarding SFAS No. 143 and its impact on both the  full-
     cost  ceiling  test  and  the calculation of  depletion  expense.   In
     accordance  with  SAB  106, beginning in the first  quarter  of  2005,
     undiscounted abandonment costs for wells to be drilled in  the  future
     to develop proved reserves are included in the unamortized cost of oil
     and  gas  properties, net of related salvage value,  for  purposes  of
     computing  depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization  ("DD&A").  The
     implementation  of  SAB  106 did not have a  material  impact  on  our
     financial statements.

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

General
Southwest  Royalties,  Inc. Income Fund VI was  organized  as  a  Tennessee
limited  partnership  on  December 4, 1986. The offering  of  such  limited
partnership  interests began August 25, 1986, minimum capital  requirements
were met October 3, 1986 and concluded January 29, 1987, with total limited
partner contributions of $10,000,000.

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.  The  economic
life  of  the  Partnership  thus  depends on  the  period  over  which  the
Partnership's oil and gas reserves are economically recoverable.

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 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.

Oil and Gas Properties
Oil and gas properties are accounted for at cost under the full-cost
method.  Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred
in connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and
gas reserves are capitalized.  Gain or loss on the sale of oil and gas
properties is not recognized unless significant oil and gas reserves are
involved.

Should the net capitalized costs exceed the estimated present value of  oil
and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, such excess costs would be charged  to
current  expense.  As of September 30, 2005, the net capitalized costs  did
not exceed the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves.

<PAGE>

The  Partnership's  interest  in oil and gas  properties  consists  of  net
profits  interests  in  proved properties located  within  the  continental
United  States.   A net profits interest is created when  the  owner  of  a
working  interest in a property enters into an arrangement  providing  that
the  net profits interest owner will receive a stated percentage of the net
profit  from  the  property.   The  net profits  interest  owner  will  not
otherwise participate in additional costs and expenses of the property.

The  Partnership recognizes income from its net profits interest in oil and
gas property on an accrual basis, while the quarterly cash distributions of
the net profits interest are based on a calculation of actual cash received
from  oil  and  gas sales, net of expenses incurred during  that  quarterly
period.   If  the  net  profits interest calculation  results  in  expenses
incurred  exceeding the oil and gas income received during  a  quarter,  no
cash  distribution is due to the Partnership's net profits  interest  until
the  deficit is recovered from future net profits.  The Partnership accrues
a quarterly loss on its net profits interest provided there is a cumulative
net  amount  due for accrued revenue as of the balance sheet date.   As  of
September 30, 2005, there were no timing differences, which resulted  in  a
deficit net profit interest.

Critical Accounting Policies

The  Partnership follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and
gas  properties.   The  full cost method subjects  companies  to  quarterly
calculations of a "ceiling", or limitation on the amount of properties that
can  be capitalized on the balance sheet.  If the Partnership's capitalized
costs  are in excess of the calculated ceiling, the excess must be  written
off as an expense.

The  Partnership's discounted present value of its proved oil  and  natural
gas  reserves  is  a  major  component  of  the  ceiling  calculation,  and
represents  the  component  that requires the  most  subjective  judgments.
Estimates  of  reserves are forecasts based on engineering data,  projected
future  rates  of  production and the timing of future  expenditures.   The
process  of  estimating oil and natural gas reserves  requires  substantial
judgment,  resulting  in  imprecise determinations,  particularly  for  new
discoveries.   Different reserve engineers may make different estimates  of
reserve  quantities  based  on the same data.   The  Partnership's  reserve
estimates are prepared by outside consultants.

The  passage  of  time  provides  more  qualitative  information  regarding
estimates of reserves, and revisions are made to prior estimates to reflect
updated  information.   However,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  more
significant  revisions  will not be necessary in  the  future.   If  future
significant  revisions  are  necessary  that  reduce  previously  estimated
reserve quantities, it could result in a full cost property writedown.   In
addition to the impact of these estimates of proved reserves on calculation
of  the  ceiling,  estimates  of proved reserves  are  also  a  significant
component  of  the calculation of depletion, depreciation, and amortization
("DD&A").

While  the quantities of proved reserves require substantial judgment,  the
associated prices of oil and natural gas reserves that are included in  the
discounted  present  value of the reserves do not  require  judgment.   The
ceiling calculation dictates that prices and costs in effect as of the last
day  of  the  period are generally held constant indefinitely. Because  the
ceiling  calculation dictates that prices in effect as of the last  day  of
the  applicable quarter are held constant indefinitely, the resulting value
is  not indicative of the true fair value of the reserves.  Oil and natural
gas  prices have historically been cyclical and, on any particular  day  at
the  end of a quarter, can be either substantially higher or lower than the
Partnership's  long-term price forecast that is a barometer for  true  fair
value.

Income from net profits

The  Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to  $653,861
from  $288,753  for  the  quarters  ended  September  30,  2005  and  2004,
respectively,  an  increase of 126%.  The principal factors  affecting  the
comparison  of  the  quarters ended September 30,  2005  and  2004  are  as
follows:

The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership increased
during  the  quarter ended September 30, 2005 as compared  to  the  quarter
ended  September  30, 2004 by 47%, or $19.76 per barrel,  resulting  in  an
increase  of  approximately $99,900 in income from net  profits  interests.
Oil  sales  represented 35% of total oil and gas sales during  the  quarter
ended  September  30,  2005  as compared to 38% during  the  quarter  ended
September 30, 2004.

The  average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership  increased
during  the same period by 57%, or $2.90 per mcf, resulting in an  increase
of approximately $209,600 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 $309,500.
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.

<PAGE>

Oil  production  increased  approximately 820 barrels  or  19%  during  the
quarter ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the quarter ended September
30,  2004, resulting in an increase of approximately $34,300 in income from
net profits interests.

Gas  production increased approximately 14,231 mcf or 25% during  the  same
period,  resulting in an increase of approximately $72,300 in  income  from
net profits interests.

The  total increase in income from net profits interests due to the  change
in  production  is approximately $106,600.  The increase  in  oil  and  gas
volumes  is from five new wells drilled in 2005. The stimulation of  a  gas
well in late 2004 also contributed to the increase in both oil and gas.

Lease   operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were   28%   higher,   or
approximately $51,100 more during the quarter ended September 30,  2005  as
compared  to the quarter ended September 30, 2004.  The increase  in  lease
operating costs is primarily from well repair work on a salt water disposal
well.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $63,457 from $76,278 for the quarters
ended  September  30, 2005 and 2004 respectively, a decrease  of  17%.  The
decrease  is  the result of lower depletion expense, accretion expense  and
general and administrative expense.

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  16%  or
approximately  $6,400  during  the quarter  ended  September  30,  2005  as
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2004.  The decrease in  General
and  Administrative  Expense is primarily due to lower engineering  service
costs.

Depletion expense decreased to $23,047 for the quarter ended September  30,
2005  from $24,781 for the same period in 2004.  This represents a decrease
of  7%.  The contributing factor to the decrease in depletion expense is in
relation  to  the  BOE depletion rate for the quarter ended  September  30,
2005, which was $1.35 applied to 17,102 BOE as compared to $1.78 applied to
13,910  BOE for the same period in 2004.  The lower depletion rate in  2005
is  due  to the upward revision in reserve estimates resulting from  higher
oil and gas prices.

Accretion  expense decreased to $5,549 for the quarter ended September  30,
2005  from $10,268 for the same period in 2004.  This represents a decrease
of  46%.  The  decrease  in  accretion is from discontinuing  accretion  on
several wells that reached their projected end of life in 2004.

Income from net profits

The Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to $1,751,870
from  $984,532  for  the nine months ended September  30,  2005  and  2004,
respectively,  an  increase of 78%.  The principal  factors  affecting  the
comparison  of  the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and  2004  are  as
follows:

The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership increased
during  the  nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to  the  nine
months ended September 30, 2004 by 50%, or $18.30 per barrel, resulting  in
an increase of approximately $299,000 in income from net profits interests.
Oil sales represented 38% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months
ended  September 30, 2005 as compared to 35% during the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2004.

The  average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership  increased
during  the same period by 27%, or $1.48 per mcf, resulting in an  increase
of approximately $314,100 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 $613,100.
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.

Oil  production increased approximately 1,351 barrels or 9% during the nine
months  ended  September  30, 2005 as compared to  the  nine  months  ended
September  30, 2004, resulting in an increase of approximately  $49,900  in
income from net profits interests.

Gas  production increased approximately 28,045 mcf or 15% during  the  same
period,  resulting in an increase of approximately $154,800 in income  from
net profits interests.

The  total increase in income from net profits interests due to the  change
in  production  is approximately $204,700.  The increase  in  oil  and  gas
volumes is from five new wells drilled in 2005.  The stimulation of  a  gas
well in late 2004 also contributed to the increase in gas volumes.

Lease operating costs and production taxes were 8% higher, or approximately
$49,300 more during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses decreased to $207,658 from $236,699 for the  nine
months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, a decrease of  12%.
The decrease is the result of depletion expense, general and administrative
costs and accretion expense.

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  7%   or
approximately  $8,600 during the nine months ended September  30,  2005  as
compared  to  the  nine months ended September 30, 2004.  The  decrease  in
General  and  Administrative Expense is primarily due to lower  engineering
service costs.

Depletion  expense decreased to $73,829 for the nine months ended September
30,  2005  from  $80,781 for the same period in 2004.   This  represents  a
decrease  of  9%.   The  contributing factor to the decrease  in  depletion
expense is in relation to the BOE depletion rate for the nine months  ended
September  30, 2005, which was $1.43 applied to 51,706 BOE as  compared  to
$1.77  applied  to  45,681  BOE for the same period  in  2004.   The  lower
depletion  rate in 2005 is due to the upward revision in reserve  estimates
resulting from higher oil and gas prices.

Accretion  expense decreased to $17,332 for the nine months ended September
30,  2005  from  $30,803 for the same period in 2004.   This  represents  a
decrease  of 44%. The decrease in accretion is from discontinuing accretion
on several wells that reached their projected end of life in 2004.

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 $1,458,400
in  the  nine  months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to approximately
$844,600  in the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  The primary  source
of the 2005 cash flow from operating activities was operations.

Cash  flows  used in financing activities were approximately $1,439,100  in
the  nine  months  ended  September 30, 2005 as compared  to  approximately
$875,000  in  the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  The  only  use  in
financing activities was the distributions to partners.

Total  distributions during the nine months ended September 30,  2005  were
$1,450,000 of which $1,305,000 was distributed to the limited partners  and
$145,000  to  the general partners.  The per unit distribution  to  limited
partners during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $65.25.  Total
distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $875,000
of  which  $787,500 was distributed to the limited partners and $87,500  to
the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $39.38.

The  sources  for  the 2005 distributions of $1,450,000 were  oil  and  gas
operations  of  approximately  $1,458,400, resulting  in  excess  cash  for
contingencies  or  subsequent distributions.   The  sources  for  the  2004
distributions  of  $875,000  were oil and gas operations  of  approximately
$844,600, with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning  of
the period.

Cumulative  cash  distributions  of  $20,778,986  have  been  made  to  the
partners.   As  of September 30, 2005, $18,716,791 or $935.84  per  limited
partner  unit has been distributed to the limited partners, representing  a
187% return of the capital contributed.

As  of  September 30, 2005, the Partnership had approximately  $658,300  in
working  capital.   The  Managing  General  Partner  knows  of  no  unusual
contractual  commitments.  The partnership held many long-lived  properties
at  inception,  however  due to the restrictions  on  property  development
imposed  by  the partnership agreement, the Partnership cannot develop  its
non-producing  properties.   Without continued development,  the  producing
reserves continue to deplete.  Accordingly, as the Partnership's properties
have  matured  and  depleted, the net cash flows from  operations  for  the
partnership  has  steadily  declined, except in  periods  of  substantially
increased  commodity pricing.  Maintenance of properties and administrative
expenses for the Partnership are increasing relative to production.  As the
properties   continue   to   deplete,   maintenance   of   properties   and
administrative costs as a percentage of production are expected to continue
to increase.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In  September  2004,  the Securities and Exchange Commission  issued  Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 106 ("SAB 106"). SAB 106 expresses the SEC  staff's
views  regarding SFAS No. 143 and its impact on both the full-cost  ceiling
test and the calculation of depletion expense.  In accordance with SAB 106,
beginning in the first quarter of 2005, undiscounted abandonment costs  for
wells  to  be drilled in the future to develop proved reserves are included
in  the  unamortized cost of oil and gas properties, net of related salvage
value,  for  purposes of computing depreciation, depletion and amortization
("DD&A").  The implementation of SAB 106 did not have a material impact  on
our financial statements.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The  Partnership  is  not a party to any derivative or embedded  derivative
instruments.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The  Managing  General  Partner  has established  disclosure  controls  and
procedures   that  are  adequate  to  provide  reasonable  assurance   that
management will be able to collect, process and disclose both financial and
non-financial information, on a timely basis, in the Partnership's  reports
to  the  SEC.   Disclosure controls and procedures  include  all  processes
necessary  to  ensure  that material information  is  recorded,  processed,
summarized  and  reported within the time periods specified  in  the  SEC's
rules  and  forms,  and  is  accumulated and  communicated  to  management,
including our chief executive and chief financial officers, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.

     With respect to these disclosure controls and procedures:

          management  has  evaluated the effectiveness  of  the  disclosure
          controls  and procedures as of the end of the period  covered  by
          this report;

          this evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with  the
          participation  of management, including the chief  executive  and
          chief financial officers of the Managing General Partner; and

          it  is  the  conclusion of chief executive  and  chief  financial
          officers  of  the Managing General Partner that these  disclosure
          controls   and   procedures  are  effective  in   ensuring   that
          information  that is required to be disclosed by the  Partnership
          in   reports  filed  or  submitted  with  the  SEC  is  recorded,
          processed,  summarized  and  reported  within  the  time  periods
          specified in the rules and forms established by the SEC.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There  has  not been any change in the Partnership's internal control  over
financial  reporting that occurred during the quarter ended  September  30,
2005  that  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to  materially
affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
