                            TEXAS PACIFIC LAND TRUST
                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2003

(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 (the "Trust") as of June 30, 2003 and the results of
        its operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30,
        2003 and 2002, respectively, and its cash flows for the six month
        periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These financial
        statements and footnotes included herein should be read in conjunction
        with the Trust's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and
        2001 and for each of the years in the three year period ended December
        31, 2002 included in the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
        ended December 31, 2002.

(2)     No value is assigned to the land, unless acquired through foreclosure;
        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 month and six month periods
        ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
        expected for the full year.

(6)     Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested primarily in overnight
        investments in loan participation instruments with maturities of ninety
        days or less. Such investments are deemed to be highly liquid debt
        instruments for purposes of the statements of cash flows.

        Supplemental cash flow information for the six month periods ended June
        30, 2003 and 2002 is summarized as follows:

                                                      2003            2002
                                                      ----            ----

        Federal income taxes paid                 $1,412,766      $  768,000

(7)     SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
        Information" establishes standards for the way public business
        enterprises are to report information about operating segments. SFAS No.
        131 utilizes the management approach as a basis for identifying
        reportable segments. The management approach is based on the way that
        management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making
        operating decisions and assessing performance. The Trust's management
        views its operations as one segment and believes the only significant
        activity is managing the land which was conveyed to the Trust in 1888.
        Trust management makes decisions about resource allocation and
        performance assessment based on the same financial information presented
        in these financial statements. Managing the land includes sales and
        leases of such land, and the retention of oil and gas royalties.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the
Financial Statements, including the Notes thereto, and the other financial
information appearing elsewhere in this Report. Period-to-period comparisons of
financial data are not necessarily indicative, and therefore should not be
relied upon as indicators, of the Trust's future performance. Words or phrases
such as "does not believe" and "believes", or similar expressions, when used in
this Form 10-Q or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, are
intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THE
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

        Earnings per sub-share were $.62 for the second quarter of 2003 compared
to $.38 in the second quarter of 2002. Total revenues were $2,584,117 compared
to $1,744,395, an increase of 48.1%.

        Land sales for the second quarter of 2003 were 8.12 acres at $80,049 per
acre for a total of $650,000. This compares to 2,406.65 acres at an average
price of approximately $53 per acre for a total of $128,205 in the second
quarter of 2002.

        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 and 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 condition 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 $1,696,422 for the
second quarter of 2003 compared to $1,372,109 for the second quarter of 2002, up
23.6%. This increase resulted from an increase in oil and gas royalty revenue,
which more than offset a decline in easement and other sundry income. The
increase in oil and gas royalty income was attributable to the significantly
higher market prices for oil and natural gas which prevailed during the second
quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002.

        Oil and gas royalty revenue was $1,330,605 for the second quarter of
2003, up 46.3% compared to the second quarter of 2002. Oil royalty revenue was
$809,160, up 32.1% for the 2003 period. Crude oil production subject to the
Trust's royalty interest was up 1.7% in the second quarter of 2003. The average
price of crude oil during the second quarter of 2003 increased 29.9% compared to
the market prices which prevailed during the second quarter of 2002. Gas royalty
revenue was $521,445 in the second quarter of 2003, up 75.7% on a volume
decrease of 20.5% which was more than offset by a price increase of 120.7%,
compared to the 2002 second quarter.

        Easement and other sundry income was $188,785 for the second quarter of
2003, down 33.0% from the second quarter of 2002. This income is unpredictable
and may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.



                                       6
<PAGE>

        Interest revenue was down 2.6% for the second quarter of 2003 compared
to the same period of 2002. Interest from notes receivable amounted to $225,353,
a 2.5% decrease from the comparable 2002 period. Notes receivable for land sold
were $11,010,477 as of June 30, 2003, up 4.5% from June 30, 2002. Sundry
interest was $12,342 for the second quarter of 2003, down 4.8% from the second
quarter of 2002. Sundry interest income fluctuates based on cash on hand for
investment and interest rates on short term investments.

        Taxes, other than Federal income taxes, were up 22.7%. This increase is
attributable to an increase in oil and gas production taxes. The increase in oil
and gas production taxes, in turn, resulted from the increased oil and gas
royalty income occasioned by the higher oil and gas prices prevailing during the
2003 second quarter.

        General and administrative expenses were up 22.9% for the second quarter
of 2003 compared with the same period of 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

        Earnings per sub-share for the first six months of 2003 were $1.00
compared to $.68 for the first six months of 2002. Total revenues were
$4,399,314 compared to $3,267,039, an increase of 34.7%.

        Land sales for the first six months of 2003 were 1,241.82 acres at an
average price of approximately $573 per acre for a total of $711,685. This
compares to 5,387.51 acres at an average price of approximately $60 per acre for
a total of $321,961 during the first six months of 2002.

        Rentals, royalties, and sundry income amounted to $3,196,948 for the
first six months of 2003, compared to $2,451,621 for the first six months of
2002, an increase of 30.4%. This increase resulted from an increase in oil and
gas royalty revenue, which more than offset a decline in easement and other
sundry income. The increase in oil and gas royalty income was attributable to
the significantly higher market prices for oil and natural gas which prevailed
during the first six months of 2003 versus those which prevailed during the
comparable period of 2002.

        Oil and gas royalty revenue for the first six months of 2003 was
$2,539,626, up 58.0% compared to the first six months of 2002. Oil royalty
revenue was $1,608,686, up 48.1% for the 2003 period. Crude oil production was
up just fractionally in the first six months of 2003, but the average price per
barrel was up 48.1%. Gas royalty revenue was $930,940 in the first six months of
2003, up 78.6% on a volume decrease of 9.5% which was more than offset by a
price increase of 97.5% compared to the first six months of 2002.

        Easement and other sundry income was $393,037 in the first six months of
2003, down 31.5% from the first six months of 2002. This income is unpredictable
and may vary significantly from period to period.

        Interest revenue was $490,681 for the first six months of 2003, down
0.5% from the 2002 period. Interest from notes receivable was $465,139, up
fractionally from the 2002 period. Sundry interest was $25,542 for the first six
months, down 10.7% from the 2002 period.

        Taxes, other than Federal income taxes in the first six months of 2003
were up 25.1%. This increase is attributable to an increase in oil and gas
production taxes. The increase in oil and gas production taxes, in turn,
resulted from the increased oil and gas royalty income occasioned by the higher
oil and gas prices prevailing during the 2003 period.



                                       7
<PAGE>


        General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2003
were up 15.5% from the first six months of 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Trust's principal sources of liquidity are its revenues from oil and
gas royalties, lease rentals and receipts of interest and principal payments on
the notes receivable arising from its sales of land. In the past these sources
have generated more than adequate amounts of cash to meet the Trust's needs and,
in the opinion of management, should continue to do so in the foreseeable
future.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        There have been no material changes in the information related to market
risk of the Trust since December 31, 2002.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Pursuant to Rule 13a-15, management of the Trust under the supervision
and with the participation of Roy Thomas, the Trust's Chief Executive Officer
and David M. Peterson, the Trust's Chief Financial Officer, carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Trust's
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the Trust's fiscal quarter
covered by this Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Thomas and
Mr. Peterson concluded that the Trust's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Trust
required to be included in the Trust's periodic SEC filings.
