          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 September 30, 2005 and the results of its
operations           for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005
and 2004,           respectively, and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended
September 30,           2005 and 2004, respectively. The financial statements and
footnotes included           herein should be read in conjunction with the Trusts
annual financial           statements as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for each of
the years in the           three year period ended December 31, 2004 included in the Trusts
Annual           Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

|(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 therefor, and no cost is deducted
          from the proceeds of the land sales in computing gain or loss thereon.

|(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.

|(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, 2005 Compared to the Quarter Ended September 30, 2004

Earnings
per sub-share certificate were $1.20 for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $6.10 for
the third quarter of 2004. Total revenues were $4,523,076 for the third quarter of 2005
compared to $21,630,083 for the third quarter of 2004, a decrease of 79.1%.

This
substantial decrease in revenues and earnings resulted from the fact that revenues for the
third quarter of 2004 had been significantly higher than normal due to a September 2004
one-time sale of approximately 1,400 acres of land near El Paso, Texas for aggregate
consideration of $19,234,300. In the third quarter of 2005, land sales totaled $1,691,883,
representing the sale of 1,478.21 acres at an average price of $1,144.55 per acre. In the
comparable period of 2004, land sales totaled $19,356,335, representing the sale of
2,968.27 acres at an average price of $6,521.08 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 $2,409,478 for the third quarter of 2005 compared to
$2,054,273 for the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 17.3%. This increase resulted
primarily from increases in oil and gas royalty income which more than offset a decline in
easement and sundry income. The increase in oil and gas royalty revenue was attributable
to the significantly higher market prices for oil and gas which prevailed during the third
quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004, which more than offset decreases in
the volume of production of oil and gas in the 2005 period.

Oil
and gas royalty revenue was $2,064,879 for the third quarter of 2005, compared to
$1,662,328 for the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 24.2%. Oil royalty revenue was
$1,397,342 for the third quarter of 2005, an increase of 32.0% from the third quarter of
2004. Although crude oil production subject to the Trusts royalty interest decreased
8.2% in the third quarter of 2005, this was more than offset by a 43.8% increase in the
average price per royalty barrel of crude oil in the 2005 third quarter compared to the
2004 third quarter. Gas royalty revenue for the third quarter of 2005 was $667,537, an
increase of 10.6% from the third quarter of 2004, resulting from a price increase of
47.6%, which more than offset a decrease of 24.9% in the volume of gas produced.

6

Easement
and sundry income was $226,028 for the third quarter of 2005, a decrease of 19.5% from the
third quarter of 2004. This category of income is unpredictable and may vary significantly
from quarter to quarter.

Interest
revenue was $421,715 for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $219,475 for the third
quarter of 2004, an increase of 92.1%, primarily due to a $136,057 increase in interest
from notes receivable. This increase in interest from notes receivable was primarily
attributable to the fact that the notes receivable relating to the significant sale of
land near El Paso, Texas, which occurred late in the third quarter of 2004, were
outstanding throughout the 2005 third quarter. As of September 30, 2005, notes receivable
for land sales were $19,079,395, a decrease of 19.2% from September 30, 2004. This
decrease resulted from prepayments of principal on outstanding notes receivable. Sundry
interest was $82,688 for the third quarter of 2005, a 401.0% increase from the third
quarter of 2004. 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 5.7% for the third quarter of 2005 compared to
the third quarter of 2004. This increase is attributable to an increase in oil and gas
production taxes, which more than offset a decrease in ad valorem taxes associated with land sales.

General
and administrative expenses increased 13.2% for the third quarter of 2005 compared to the
third quarter of 2004, primarily due to an increase in professional fees.

# Results of  Operations  for the Nine  Months  Ended  September  30,  2005  Compared  to the Nine  Months Ended
September 30, 2004

Earnings
per sub-share certificate were $2.90 for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $7.26
for the first nine months of 2004. Total revenues were $11,167,557 for the first nine
months of 2005 compared to $26,468,114 for the first nine months of 2004, a decrease of
57.8%.

This
substantial decrease in revenue and earnings resulted from the fact that revenues for the
first nine months of 2004 had been significantly higher than normal due to a September
2004 one-time sale of approximately 1,400 acres of land near El Paso, Texas for aggregate
consideration of $19,234,300. In the first nine months of 2005, land sales totaled
$2,986,748, representing the sale of 11,453.13 acres at an average price of $260.78 per
acre. In the comparable period of 2004, land sales totaled $20,171,626, representing the
sale of 11,382.83 acres at an average price of $1,772.11 per acre. During the first nine
months of 2005, the Trust purchased 5,546.92 acres of land located in Culberson County,
Texas from the State of Texas for an aggregate purchase price of $315,501, or
approximately, $56.88 per acre. While the Trust is generally not a purchaser of land, the
parcels purchased (which were among others offered for sale by the state) were
interspersed among parcels already owned by the Trust. The purchase of these parcels will
make the Trusts holdings in Culberson County more contiguous.

Rentals,
royalties, and sundry income were $6,868,842 for the first nine months of 2005 compared to
$5,621,420 for the first nine months of 2004, an increase of 22.2%. This increase resulted
primarily from increases in oil and gas royalty revenue. The increase in oil and gas
royalty revenue was attributable to the significantly higher market prices for oil and gas
which prevailed during the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of
2004, which more than offset decreases in the volume of production of oil and gas in the
2005 period.

Oil
and gas royalty revenue was $5,807,918 for the first nine months of 2005 compared to
$4,591,971 for the first nine months of 2004, an increase of 26.5%. Oil royalty revenue
was $3,915,511 for the first nine months of 2005, an increase of 32.3% from the first nine
months of 2004. Although crude oil production subject to the Trusts royalty interest
decreased 5.1% in the first nine months of 2005, this was more than offset by a 39.4%
increase in the average price per barrel of crude oil in the first

7

nine months of 2005 compared to the
first nine months of 2004. Gas royalty revenue for the first nine months of 2005 was
$1,892,407, an increase of 15.9% from the first nine months of 2004, resulting from a
price increase of 24.9%, which more than offset a decrease of 7.3% in the volume of gas
produced.

Easement
and sundry income was $668,005 for the first nine months of 2005, an increase of 1.5% from
the first nine months of 2004. This category of income is unpredictable and may vary
significantly from period to period.

Interest
revenue was $1,311,967 for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $675,068 for the
first nine months of 2004, an increase of 94.3%, due to increases of $517,018 in interest
from notes receivable and $119,881 in sundry interest, respectively, during the first nine
months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004. The increase in interest on
notes receivable was primarily attributable to the fact that the notes receivable relating
to the significant sale of land near El Paso, Texas, which occurred late in the third
quarter of 2004, were outstanding throughout the first nine months of 2005. As of
September 30, 2005, notes receivable for land sales were $19,079,395, a decrease of 19.2%
from September 30, 2004. This decrease resulted from prepayments of principal on
outstanding notes receivable. Sundry interest was $159,362 for the first nine months of
2005, a 303.6% increase from the first nine months of 2004. 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 6.4% for the first nine months of 2005 compared
to the first nine months of 2004. This increase is attributable to an increase in oil and
gas production taxes, which more than offset a decrease in ad valorem taxes associated with land sales.

General
and administrative expenses increased 16.6% for the first nine months of 2005 from the
first nine months of 2004, primarily due to increases in pension expense and professional
fees.

# 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.

# 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, 2004.

# 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.

8

There
have been no changes in the Trusts internal control over financial reporting during
the Trusts most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.
