| (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 March 31, 2008 and the results of its operations      for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively,      and its cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and      2007, respectively.  The financial statements and footnotes      included herein should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s annual      financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the      years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007 included in the      Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,      2007. |

| (2)   | No      value has been assigned to the land held by the Trust other than parcels      which have been acquired through foreclosure and a limited number of      parcels which have been acquired because they were offered for sale and      were contiguous to parcels already owned by the      Trust.  Consequently, no allowance for depletion is computed,      and no charge to income is made, with respect thereto, 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 3,000 Sub-shares or 3,000 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 period ended March 31, 2008 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 bank      deposit and savings accounts, temporary cash investments in loan      participation agreements and U. S. Treasury bills with maturities of      ninety days or less.  Such investments are deemed to be highly      liquid debt instruments and classified as cash equivalents for purposes of      the statements of cash flows. |

| (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. |

| (8)   | On      June 20, 2007, the Trustees of the Trust authorized a five-for-one split      of its Sub-share certificates.  The additional Sub-shares      resulting from the split were distributed on July 12,      2007.  Sub-share and per Sub-share amounts reflected throughout      the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto have been      retroactively adjusted for thesplit. |
