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

|(1) | In
the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
                    contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals, except for                    approximately $264,578 in oil and gas royalty
income reflected in this                  quarter as a result of the Trust's oil and gas
audit) necessary to                        present fairly the financial position of Texas
Pacific Land Trust (the                     Trust) as of September 30, 2003
and the results of its operations                     for the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002,                     respectively, and its cash
flows for the nine month periods ended September 30,                     2003 and 2002,
respectively. The 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 nine month periods ended
                    September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected                     for the full year.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) | The
Trust invests cash in excess of daily requirements 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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 is
summarized as follows:

|(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. The Trusts 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 September 30, 2003 Compared to the Quarter Ended September 30, 2002

Earnings
per sub-share certificate for the third quarter of 2003 were $.66 compared to $.43 in the
third quarter of 2002. Total revenue was $2,654,935 for the third quarter of 2003 compared
to $1,849,690 for the third quarter of 2002, an increase of 43.5%. This increase in
revenue and earnings was largely due to increases in oil and gas royalty income and land
sales during the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002. Oil and gas
royalty income for the third quarter of 2003 includes $264,578 receivable from certain oil
and gas companies as a result of an audit conducted by the Trust of those companies
calculations of certain past royalty payments, which accounted for $0.08 of the $0.66
earnings per sub-share certificate for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The $264,578
receivable was paid in the fourth quarter of 2003.

In
the third quarter of 2003, land sales totaled $583,041, representing the sale of 5,975.64
acres at an average price of $97.57 per acre. In the comparable period of 2002, land sales
totaled $385,895, representing the sale of 3,840.90 acres at an average price of $100.47
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 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 were $1,826,518 for the third quarter of 2003 compared to
$1,222,119 for the third quarter of 2002, an increase of 49.5%. 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 primarily
attributable to the significantly higher market prices for oil and natural gas which
prevailed during the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002, an
increase in crude oil production and, as noted above, the $264,578 receivable from certain
oil and gas companies as a result of an audit conducted by the Trust of those
companies calculations of certain past royalty payments.

Oil
and gas royalty revenue was $1,559,361 for the third quarter of 2003 compared to $902,458
for the third quarter of 2002, an increase of 72.8%. Oil royalty revenue was $1,028,356
for the third quarter of 2003, an increase of 72.5% from the third quarter of 2002. Crude
oil production subject to the Trusts royalty interest increased 55.6% in the third
quarter of 2003, while the average price per royalty barrel of crude oil increased 10.9%.
Gas royalty revenue for the third quarter of 2003 was $531,005, an increase of 73.4% from
the third quarter of 2002 on a volume increase of 13.3% and a price increase of 53.0%
compared to the third quarter of 2002. These figures include the results of the audit
referred to above.

Easement
and sundry income was $155,766 for the third quarter of 2003, a decrease of 24.5% from the
third quarter of 2002. This category of income is unpredictable and may vary significantly
from quarter to quarter.

Interest
revenue was $245,376 for the third quarter of 2003 compared to $241,676 for the third
quarter of 2002, an increase of 1.5%, primarily due to an increase in interest from notes
receivable, which was $235,645 for the third quarter of 2003. As of September 30, 2003,
notes receivable for land sales was $10,647,671, an increase of 2.7% from notes receivable
for land sales as of September 30, 2002. Sundry interest was $9,731 for the third quarter
of 2003, a 21.6% decrease from the third 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, increased 32.3% for the third quarter of 2003 compared to
the third quarter of 2002. 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 third quarter of 2003, the increase in crude oil production during
that period and the results of the audit referred to above.

General
and administrative expenses increased 18.0% for the third quarter of 2003 from the third
quarter of 2002, primarily due to an increase in professional fees and administrative
expenses.

Results of Operations for the Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

Earnings
per sub-share certificate for the first nine months of 2003 were $1.66 compared to $1.11
for the first nine months of 2002. Total revenue was $7,054,249 for the first nine months
of 2003 compared to $5,116,729 for the first nine months of 2002, an increase of 37.9%.
This increase in revenue and earnings was largely due to increases in oil and gas royalty
income and land sales during the first nine months of 2003 compared to the first nine
months of 2002. Oil and gas royalty income for the first nine months of 2003 includes
$264,578 receivable from certain oil and gas companies as a result of an audit conducted
by the Trust of those companies calculations of certain past royalty payments, which
accounted for $0.08 of the $1.66 earnings per sub-share certificate for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. The $264,578 receivable was paid in the fourth quarter of 2003.

In
the first nine months of 2003, land sales totaled $1,294,726, representing the sale of
7,217.46 acres at an average price of $179.39 per acre. In the comparable period of 2002,
land sales totaled $707,856, representing the sale of 9,228.41 acres at an average price
of $76.70 per acre.

Rentals,
royalties, and sundry income were $5,023,466 for the first nine months of 2003 compared to
$3,673,740 for the first nine months of 2002, an increase of 36.7%. 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 primarily
attributable to the significantly higher market prices for oil and natural gas which
prevailed during the first nine months of 2003 compared to the first nine months of 2002,
an increase in crude oil production and, as noted above, the $264,578 receivable from
certain oil and gas companies as a result of an audit conducted by the Trust of those
companies calculations of certain past royalty payments.

and gas royalty revenue was $4,098,987 for the first nine months of 2003 compared to
$2,510,139 for the first nine months of 2002, an increase of 63.3%. Oil royalty revenue
was $2,637,042 for the first nine months of 2003, an increase of 56.7% from the first nine
months of 2002. Crude oil production subject to the Trusts royalty interest
increased 17.1% in the first nine months of 2003, while the average price per barrel of
crude oil increased 33.8%. Gas royalty revenue for the first nine months of 2003 was
$1,461,945, an increase of 76.7% from the first nine months of 2002 on a volume decrease
of 1.9% which was more than offset by a price increase of 80.5% compared to the first nine
months of 2002. These figures include the results of the audit referred to above.

Easement
and sundry income was $548,803 for the first nine months of 2003, a decrease of 29.7% from
the first nine months of 2002. This category of income is unpredictable and may vary
significantly from period to period.

Interest
revenue was essentially flat for the first nine months of 2003 compared to the first nine months of 2002. Interest from notes

7

receivable was $700,784 during the
first nine months of 2003, representing an increase of 1.0% from the first nine months of
2002. Sundry interest was $35,273 for the first nine months of 2003, a 14.0% decrease
from the first nine months 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, increased 27.6% for the first nine months of 2003
compared to the first nine months of 2002. 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 first nine months of 2003, the increase in crude oil
production during that period and the results of the audit referred to above.

General
and administrative expenses increased 16.3% for the first nine months of 2003 from the
first nine months of 2002, primarily due to an increase in professional fees and
administrative expenses.

# Liquidity and Capital
Resources

The
Trusts principal sources of liquidity are revenues from oil and gas royalties, lease
rentals and receipts of interest and principal payments on the notes receivable arising
from land sales. In the past, those 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.

Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There
have been no material changes in the information related to market risk of the Trust since
