     The interim financial information as of March 31, 2003, and for the
     three   months  ended  March  31,  2003,  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  audited financial statements for the year ended December
     31, 2002.

     Accounting  Standards  No.  143, Accounting  for  Asset  Retirement
     Obligations ("SFAS No. 143").  Adoption of SFAS No. 143 is required
     for  all companies with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
     The  new standard requires the Partnership to recognize a liability
     for  the present value of all legal obligations associated with the
     retirement of tangible long-lived assets and to capitalize an equal
     amount  as  a cost of the asset and depreciate the additional  cost
     over  the estimated useful life of the asset.  On January 1,  2003,
     the  Partnership  recorded  additional costs,  net  of  accumulated
     depreciation, of approximately $291,413, a long term  liability  of
     approximately $1,061,541 and a charge of approximately $770,128 for
     the  cumulative effect on depreciation of the additional costs  and
     accretion  expense on the liability related to expected abandonment
     costs  of  its oil and natural gas producing properties.  At  March
     31,  2003, the asset retirement obligation was $1,082,772, and  the
     increase in the balance from January 1, 2003 of $21,231 is  due  to
     accretion  expense.  The pro forma amount of the  asset  retirement
     obligation was measured using information, assumptions and interest
     rates  as  of  the adoption date of January 1, 2003.  Assuming  the
     Partnership  had  applied the provisions of SFAS No.  143  for  the
     three  months ended March 31, 2002 pro forma net income (loss)  and
     related  income (loss) per limited partner unit amounts would  have
     been $(59,504) and $(2.98), respectively.

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.

Based on current conditions, development drilling and workovers will  be
performed  during  the  years 2003 and 2004 to enhance  production.  The
partnership may have an increase in production volumes for the year 2003
and  2004,  but thereafter, the partnership will most likely  experience
the historical production decline, which has approximated 10% per year.

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.

Prior  to October 1, 2002, the Partnership calculated depletion  of  oil
and  gas  properties under the units of revenue method.  The Partnership
changed methods of estimating depletion effective October 1, 2002 to the
units  of  production method.  The units of production  method  is  more
predominantly  used throughout the oil and gas industry and  will  allow
the Partnership to more closely align itself with its peers.

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. In applying the units to revenue method  for
the  three months ended March 31 2002, we have not excluded royalty  and
net  profit interest payments from gross revenues as all of our  royalty
and  net  profit  interest have been purchased and  capitalized  to  the
depletion  basis of our proved oil and gas properties.  As of March  31,
2003,  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. The net profits interest is a  calculated
revenue  interest that burdens the underlying working  interest  in  the
property, and the net profits interest owner is not responsible for  the
actual development or production expenses incurred.  Accordingly, 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
March  31, 2003, there were no timing differences, which resulted  in  a
deficit net profit interest.

Critical Accounting Policies

Full  cost  ceiling calculations 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  on  an  annual basis prepared  by  outside  consultants.
Quarterly  reserves  estimates  are prepared  by  the  Managing  General
Partner's internal staff of engineers.

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 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.

Prior  to October 1, 2002, the Partnership calculated depletion  of  oil
and  gas  properties under the units of revenue method.  The Partnership
changed methods of estimating depletion effective October 1, 2002 to the
units  of  production method.  The units of production  method  is  more
predominantly  used throughout the oil and gas industry and  will  allow
the Partnership to more closely align itself with its peers.

Revenues

The  Partnership's  income  from  net  profits  interests  increased  to
$297,280  from $17,787 for the quarters ended March 31, 2003  and  2002,
respectively,  an  increase of 1,571%.  The principal factors  affecting
the  comparison  of the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and  2002  are  as
follows:

1.  The  average  price for a barrel of oil received by the  Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the
    quarter ended March 31, 2002 by 65%, or $12.72 per barrel, resulting
    in  an  increase of approximately $58,500 in income from net profits
    interests.   Oil sales represented 31% of total oil  and  gas  sales
    during  the  quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to 44%  during
    the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

    The  average  price  for an mcf of gas received by  the  Partnership
    increased  during  the  same  period by  178%,  or  $3.85  per  mcf,
    resulting  in an increase of approximately $211,000 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 $269,500.  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>
2.  Oil  production decreased approximately 1,700 barrels or 27%  during
    the  quarter  ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter  ended
    March 31, 2002, resulting in a decrease of approximately $33,300  in
    income from net profits interests.

    Gas  production decreased approximately 17,800 mcf or 25% during the
    same  period,  resulting in a decrease of approximately  $38,400  in
    income from net profits interests.

    The  total decrease in income from net profits interests due to  the
    change in production is approximately $71,700.  The decrease in  oil
    production  is  in connection with a change in estimate,  which  the
    Partnership did not have an interest in a well, but another well  on
    a  different  lease owned a very small interest of  the  production.
    The  decrease  in  gas production is primarily  due  to  a  farm-out
    arrangement during 2002 with the Managing General Partner, in  which
    the  Partnership retained a smaller interest.  This same lease  also
    experiences gas balancing.

3.  Lease  operating  costs  and production taxes  were  31%  lower,  or
    approximately $82,300 less during the quarter ended March  31,  2003
    as  compared  to the quarter ended March 31, 2002.  The decrease  in
    lease operating expense is due mainly to a workover performed on one
    lease  during the quarter ended March 31, 2002, partially offset  by
    an  increase  in production taxes due to an increase in revenues  in
    relation to prices.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and  expenses increased to $79,708 from  $58,126  for  the
quarters  ended  March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, an  increase  of
37%.   The  increase  is  a  direct  result  of  the  accretion  expense
associated  with our long term liability related to expected abandonment
costs  of  our  oil  and natural gas properties and  depletion  expense,
partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense.

1.  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  2% or approximately $600 during the quarter  ended  March
    31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

2.  Depletion  expense increased to $21,000 for the quarter ended  March
    31,  2003 from $20,000 for the same period in 2002.  This represents
    an  increase  of  5%.   Prior to October 1,  2002,  the  Partnership
    calculated  depletion of oil and gas properties under the  units  of
    revenue  method.   The  Partnership changed  methods  of  estimating
    depletion  effective  October 1, 2002 to  the  units  of  production
    method.   The units of production method is more predominantly  used
    throughout  the oil and gas industry and will allow the  Partnership
    to  more  closely align itself with its peers.  The effect  of  this
    change in estimate if the units of production method were applied to
    2002  would  have  increased 2002 depletion expense  by  $6,000  and
    decreased  2002 net income by $6,000.  The contributing  factors  to
    the  increase  in  depletion  expense is  in  relation  to  the  BOE
    depletion  rate  for  the quarter ended March  31,  2003  was  $1.55
    applied to 13,733 BOE as compared to $1.42 applied to 18,400 BOE for
    the same period.

Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle

On  January  1,  2003,  the Partnership adopted Statement  of  Financial
Accounting   Standards   No.  143,  Accounting  for   Asset   Retirement
Obligations ("SFAS No. 143").  Adoption of SFAS No. 143 is required  for
all  companies with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.  The new
standard  requires  the Partnership to recognize  a  liability  for  the
present value of all legal obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and to capitalize an equal amount as  a  cost
of  the  asset  and  depreciate the additional cost over  the  estimated
useful  life of the asset.  On January 1, 2003, the Partnership recorded
additional  costs,  net  of accumulated depreciation,  of  approximately
$291,413, a long term liability of approximately $1,061,541 and a charge
of  approximately $770,128 for the cumulative effect on depreciation  of
the  additional costs and accretion expense on the liability related  to
expected  abandonment  costs  of  its  oil  and  natural  gas  producing
properties.   At  March  31, 2003, the asset retirement  obligation  was
$1,082,772,  and  the increase in the balance from January  1,  2003  of
$21,231 is due to accretion expense.  The pro forma amount of the  asset
retirement  obligation was measured using information,  assumptions  and
interest rates as of the adoption date of January 1, 2003.  Assuming the
Partnership  had applied the provisions of SFAS No. 143  for  the  three
months  ended  March  31, 2002 pro forma net income (loss)  and  related
income (loss) per limited partner unit amounts would have been $(59,504)
and $(2.98), respectively.

<PAGE>
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 (used in) operating activities were approximately
$95,400 in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to approximately
$(15,500)  in the quarter ended March 31, 2002.  The primary  source  of
the 2003 cash flows from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $1,100 in the
quarter ended March 31, 2003.  There were no material cash flows used in
financing activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

There were no distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 2003  and
2002.

Since   inception   of   the   Partnership,  cumulative   monthly   cash
distributions  of  $17,453,854 have been made to the  partners.   As  of
March 31, 2003, $15,724,177 or $786.21 per limited partner unit has been
distributed to the limited partners, representing a 100% return  of  the
capital and a 57% return on capital contributed.

As  of  March  31, 2003, the Partnership had approximately  $360,500  in
working  capital.   The Managing General Partner  knows  of  no  unusual
contractual commitments.  Although the partnership held many  long-lived
properties  at  inception,  because  of  the  restrictions  on  property
development  imposed by the partnership agreement, the Managing  General
Partner  anticipates  that  at  some  point  in  the  near  future,  the
partnership  will need to be liquidated.  Maintenance of properties  and
administrative expenses are increasing relative to production.   As  the
properties   continue  to  deplete,  maintenance   of   properties   and
administrative  costs  as a percentage of production  will  continue  to
increase.

As  the  partnerships properties have matured, the net cash  flows  from
operations  for  the  partnership have  generally  declined,  except  in
periods  of  substantially  increased  commodity  pricing.   Since   the
partnership  cannot  develop their properties,  the  producing  reserves
continue to deplete causing cash flow to steadily decline.

<PAGE>

Liquidity - Managing General Partner
The  Managing  General Partner has a highly leveraged capital  structure
with approximately $124.0 million of principal due between December  31,
2002  and December 31, 2004.  The Managing General Partner is constantly
monitoring  its  cash  position and its ability to  meet  its  financial
obligations  as  they  become due, and in this  effort,  is  continually
exploring  various  strategies for addressing  its  current  and  future
liquidity  needs.   The Managing General Partner regularly  pursues  and
evaluates  recapitalization  strategies  and  acquisition  opportunities
(including opportunities to engage in mergers, consolidations  or  other
business combinations) and at any given time may be in various stages of
evaluating such opportunities.

Based  on  current  production, commodity  prices  and  cash  flow  from
operations, the Managing General Partner has adequate cash flow to  fund
debt  service, developmental projects and day to day operations, but  it
is not sufficient to build a cash balance which would allow the Managing
General  Partner  to  meet its debt principal maturities  scheduled  for
2004.  Therefore the Managing General Partner must renegotiate the terms
of  its  various obligations or seek new lenders or equity investors  in
order to meet its financial obligations, specifically those maturing  in
2004.   The  Managing  General Partner may be  required  to  dispose  of
certain assets in order to meet its obligations.

There  can  be  no  assurance that the Managing General  Partner's  debt
restructuring efforts will be successful or that the debt  holders  will
agree  to  a  course  of  action consistent with  the  Managing  General
Partner's  requirements in restructurings the obligations.  Furthermore,
there  can  be no assurance that the sales of assets can be successfully
accomplished on terms acceptable to the Managing General Partner.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The  FASB  has issued Statement No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations"  which  establishes  requirements  for  the  accounting  of
removal-type costs associated with asset retirements.  The  standard  is
effective  for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with  earlier
application  encouraged.   This  statement  has  been  adopted  by   the
partnership  effective  January  1,  2003.   The  transition  adjustment
resulting  from  the  adoption of SFAS No. 143 has been  reported  as  a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle

In  April  2004,  the  FASB  issued Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  149,  Amendment  of  Statement  No.  133  on  Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging Activities ("SFAS No.  149").   SFAS  No.  149
amendments  require  that contracts with comparable  characteristics  be
accounted  for  similarly,  clarifies when a contract  with  an  initial
investment meets the characteristic of a derivative and clarifies when a
derivative  requires special reporting in the statement of  cash  flows.
SFAS  No. 149 is effective for hedging relationships designated and  for
contracts  entered  into or modified after June  30,  2003,  except  for
provisions  that relate to SFAS No. 133 Statement Implementation  Issues
that  have  been effective for fiscal quarters prior to June  15,  2003,
should  be  applied in accordance with their respective effective  dates
and  certain provisions relating to forward purchases or sales of  when-
issued  securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should  be
applied  to  existing  contracts as well as new contracts  entered  into
after  June  30,  2003.   Assessment by  the  Managing  General  Partner
revealed this pronouncement to have no impact on the partnership.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

(a)  Evaluation  of  Disclosure  Controls  and  Procedures.   The  chief
executive  officer  and  chief financial officer  of  the  Partnership's
managing general partner have evaluated the effectiveness of the  design
and  operation  of the Partnership's disclosure controls and  procedures
(as  defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c)) as of a date within 90 days
of  the  filing date of this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation,
the  chief  executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded
that  the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective
to  ensure that material information relating to the Partnership and the
Partnership's  consolidated subsidiaries is made known to such  officers
by  others  within these entities, particularly during the  period  this
quarterly  report  was  prepared, in order  to  allow  timely  decisions
regarding required disclosure.

(b)  Changes  in Internal Controls.  There have not been any significant
changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors  that
could  significantly affect these controls subsequent  to  the  date  of
their evaluation.
