Item 1.   Business

General
Southwest  Developmental  Drilling Fund 92-A, L.P.  (the  "Partnership"  or
"Registrant")  was organized as a Delaware limited partnership  on  May  5,
1992.   The offering of limited and general partner interests began  August
11,  1992  as part of a shelf offering registered under the name  Southwest
Developmental  Drilling Program 1991-92.  Minimum capital requirements  for
the Partnership were met on December 28, 1992, with the offering of limited
and  general  partner interests concluding December 31,  1992,  with  total
investor partner contributions of $1,407,000. The Managing General  Partner
made a contribution to the capital of the Partnership at the conclusion  of
the  offering  period  in  an  amount  equal  to  1%  of  its  net  capital
contributions.  The Managing General Partner contribution was $12,030,  for
total  capital  contributions  of  $1,419,030.   The  Partnership  has   no
subsidiaries.

The  Partnership has expended its capital and acquired leasehold  interests
and  completed  drilling  operations.  The  Partnership  has  produced  and
marketed the crude oil and natural gas from such properties.

The  principal executive offices of the Partnership are located at  407  N.
Big Spring, Suite 300, Midland, Texas, 79701.  The Managing General Partner
of  the  Partnership,  Southwest Royalties,  Inc.  (the  "Managing  General
Partner")   and  its  staff  of  82  individuals,  together  with   certain
independent  consultants  used  on an "as needed"  basis,  perform  various
services on behalf of the Partnership, including the selection of leasehold
interests  upon  which drilling would be performed, and  the  marketing  of
future anticipated production from such properties.  The Partnership has no
employees.

Introductory Note
During  2002, the Partnership changed its method of providing for depletion
from  the  units-of-revenue  method to the  units-of-production  method  as
described in Note 3 to the Partnership's financial statements.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for  the  year
ended  December 31, 2002, the Partnership determined that the above  change
in  accounting  method  should have been adopted by the  Partnership  as  a
cumulative  effect of a change in accounting principle.   As  described  in
Note  9  to  the  Partnership's financial statements, the  Partnership  had
previously  applied  the  change in the method of providing  for  depletion
prospectively as of October 1, 2002.

Principal Products, Marketing and Distribution
The  Partnership has acquired undeveloped leasehold interests  and  drilled
oil and gas properties located in Texas and New Mexico.  All activities  of
the Partnership are confined to the continental United States.  All oil and
gas  produced from these properties will be sold to unrelated third parties
in the oil and gas business.

The  revenues  generated from the Partnership's oil and gas activities  are
dependent upon the current market for oil and gas.  The prices received  by
the Partnership for its oil and gas production depend upon numerous factors
beyond   the   Partnership's  control,  including  competition,   economic,
political  and regulatory developments and competitive energy sources,  and
make it particularly difficult to estimate future prices of oil and natural
gas.

In  2002, fighting and threats of fighting in the Middle East and a  strike
in  a  major  oil exporting country dominated the direction  of  crude  oil
prices.  While OPEC agreed to keep production constant throughout the year,
conflicts  between  the U.S. and Iraq, as well as between  Israel  and  the
Palestinians  threatened supplies and caused oil prices to surge  in  2002.
In  addition,  a  strike by oil workers in Venezuela,  the  fourth  largest
supplier to the U.S., took a significant amount of crude oil off the market
toward  the end of the year.  As a result, OPEC agreed in January  2003  to
increase output by 1.5 million barrels per day in an effort to make up  for
the lost supply and stabilize prices.

In  2002,  spot prices for natural gas fell by 27.5% from the unprecedented
heights  reached in 2001, averaging just under $3.00/MMBtu  for  the  year.
Most  of  the  lowest  prices were seen early on, with  the  first  quarter
averaging  of  $2.24/MMBtu.   But as the year  progressed,  prices  climbed
higher,  ending  with a $3.99 average in December.  As for  2003,  industry
analysts are divided on their gas price predictions, with estimates ranging
anywhere  from $4.00 to $6.00/MMBtu.  Weather forecasts, storage  inventory
levels,  a  tighter  supply and demand balance, and the unstable  situation
with  Iraq  are  all  factors that will have a significant  impact  on  the
direction  prices will take.  Overall however, analysts are  maintaining  a
bullish perspective, expecting gas prices to remain at or above $4.00/MMBtu
in 2003.

<PAGE>

Following  is a table of the ratios of revenues received from oil  and  gas
production for the last three years:

            Oil       Gas
            ----      ----
  2002      75%       25%
  2001      72%       28%
  2000      78%       22%

As  the table indicates, the majority of the Partnership's revenue is  from
its   oil  production;  therefore,  Partnership  revenues  will  be  highly
dependent upon the future prices and demands of oil.

Seasonality of Business
Although  the  demand for natural gas can be effected by seasonality,  with
higher  demand  in the colder winter months and in very hot summer  months,
the  Partnership has not experienced material price and volume changes  due
to  seasonality  and has been able to sell all of its natural  gas,  either
through  contracts  in place or on the spot market at the  then  prevailing
spot market price.

Customer Dependence
No  material portion of the Partnership's business is dependent on a single
purchaser,  or a very few purchasers, where the loss of one  would  have  a
material adverse impact on the Partnership.  Three purchasers accounted for
95%  of  the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2002: Plains
Marketing  LP  for 59%, Duke Energy Field Services LP for  19%  and  Navajo
Refining  Company,  Inc.  for 17%.  Contracts for  2002  with  these  major
purchasers cover time periods ranging from month to month contracts  up  to
year-year  contract periods.  Prices received from these  major  purchasers
ranged  from a low of $22.73 per Bbl to a high of $23.02 per Bbl and  $2.86
per  mcf.    Three purchasers accounted for 93% of the Partnership's  total
oil  and  gas  production during 2001: Plains Marketing LP  for  58%,  Duke
Energy  Field Services for 21% and Navajo Refining Company, Inc.  for  14%.
Contracts  for 2001 with these major purchasers cover time periods  ranging
from  month  to  month contracts up to year-year contract periods.   Prices
received from these major purchasers ranged from a low of $27.00 per Bbl to
a  high  of  $27.33 per Bbl and $4.90 per mcf.   Three purchasers accounted
for  94%  of  the Partnership's total oil and gas production  during  2000:
Plains Marketing LP for 63%, Navajo Refining Company, Inc. for 16% and Duke
Energy  Transport and Trade for 15%.  Contracts for 2000 with  these  major
purchasers cover time periods ranging from month to month contracts  up  to
year-year  contract periods.  Prices received from these  major  purchasers
ranged  from a low of $28.45 per Bbl to a high of $28.62 per Bbl and  $3.72
per  mcf.   All purchasers of the Partnership's oil and gas production  are
unrelated  third parties.  In the event this purchaser were to  discontinue
purchasing  the  Partnership's  production, the  Managing  General  Partner
believes that a substitute purchaser or purchasers could be located without
undue  delay.   No  other purchaser accounted for an  amount  equal  to  or
greater than 10% of the Partnership's total oil and gas production.

Competition
Because  the  Partnership has utilized all of its funds available  for  the
acquisition  of  drilling  prospects and drilling  activities,  it  is  not
subject  to  competition from other oil and gas property  purchasers.   See
Item 2, Properties.

Factors  that  may  adversely  affect the  Partnership  include  delays  in
completing  arrangements  for  the sale of production,  availability  of  a
market for production, rising operating costs of producing oil and gas  and
complying  with  applicable  water  and  air  pollution  control  statutes,
increasing  costs  and  difficulties of transportation,  and  marketing  of
competitive  fuels.   Moreover, domestic oil  and  gas  must  compete  with
imported oil and gas and with coal, atomic energy, hydroelectric power  and
other forms of energy.

Regulation

Oil  and Gas Production - The production and sale of oil and gas is subject
to  federal and state governmental regulation in several respects, such  as
existing price controls on natural gas and possible price controls on crude
oil,  regulation of oil and gas production by state and local  governmental
agencies, pollution and environmental controls and various other direct and
indirect   regulation.    Many  jurisdictions  have  periodically   imposed
limitations on oil and gas production by restricting the rate of  flow  for
oil  and  gas wells below their actual capacity to produce and by  imposing
acreage limitations for the drilling of wells.  The federal government  has
the  power  to  permit increases in the amount of oil imported  from  other
countries and to impose pollution control measures.  Various aspects of the
Partnership's  oil  and  gas  activities are  regulated  by  administrative
agencies under statutory provisions of the states where such activities are
conducted  and by certain agencies of the federal government for operations
on  Federal  leases.   The regulatory burden on the oil  and  gas  industry
increases  the  Partnership's  cost of doing business,  and,  consequently,
affects its profitability.

Regulation  of  Sales  and Transportation of Natural  Gas.   Our  sales  of
natural   gas  are  affected  by  the  availability,  terms  and  cost   of
transportation.  The price and terms for access to pipeline  transportation
are  subject  to  extensive  regulation. In  recent  years,  the  FERC  has
undertaken  various initiatives to increase competition within the  natural
gas industry. As a result of initiatives like FERC Order No. 636, issued in
April  1992, the interstate natural gas transportation and marketing system
has   been  substantially  restructured  to  remove  various  barriers  and
practices  that  historically  limited non-pipeline  natural  gas  sellers,
including  producers, from effectively competing with interstate  pipelines
for  sales  to  local  distribution  companies  and  large  industrial  and
commercial  customers. The most significant provisions  of  Order  No.  636
require   that   interstate  pipelines  provide  firm   and   interruptible
transportation  service  on an open access basis  that  is  equal  for  all
natural  gas supplies. In many instances, the results of Order No. 636  and
related  initiatives  have been to substantially reduce  or  eliminate  the
interstate  pipelines' traditional role as wholesalers of  natural  gas  in
favor  of  providing  only storage and transportation services.  While  the
United  States  Court  of  Appeals upheld most of Order  No.  636,  certain
related  FERC  orders,  including  the  individual  pipeline  restructuring
proceedings,  are still subject to judicial review and may be  reversed  or
remanded in whole or in part. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot
be  predicted  with certainty, we do not believe that we will  be  affected
materially differently than its competitors.

The FERC has also announced several important transportation-related policy
statements and proposed rule changes, including a statement of policy and a
request  for  comments concerning alternatives to its traditional  cost-of-
service rate making methodology to establish the rates interstate pipelines
may  charge  for their services. A number of pipelines have  obtained  FERC
authorization  to  charge  negotiated rates as  one  such  alternative.  In
February  1997, the FERC announced a broad inquiry into issues  facing  the
natural  gas  industry to assist the FERC in establishing regulatory  goals
and  priorities in the post-Order No. 636 environment. Similarly, the Texas
Railroad Commission has been reviewing changes to its regulations governing
transportation and gathering services provided by intrastate pipelines  and
gatherers.  While the changes being considered by these federal  and  state
regulators  would affect us only indirectly, they are intended  to  further
enhance  competition in natural gas markets. We cannot predict what further
action the FERC or state regulators will take on these matters, however, we
do  not  believe  that it will be affected by any action  taken  materially
differently than other natural gas producers with which it competes.

Additional  proposals  and proceedings that might affect  the  natural  gas
industry are pending before Congress, the FERC, state commissions  and  the
courts.  The  natural  gas  industry historically  has  been  very  heavily
regulated;  therefore,  there  is  no assurance  that  the  less  stringent
regulatory  approach  recently  pursued  by  the  FERC  and  Congress  will
continue.

Oil Price Controls and Transportation Rates. Sales of crude oil, condensate
and  gas  liquids by us are not currently regulated and are made at  market
prices.  The  price  we  receive from the sale of  these  products  may  be
affected by the cost of transporting the products to market.

Environmental  and  Health Controls.  Extensive federal,  state  and  local
regulatory and common laws regulating the discharge of materials  into  the
environment  or  otherwise relating to the protection  of  the  environment
affect   our   oil  and  natural  gas  operations.  Numerous   governmental
departments issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws,
which  are  often  difficult  and costly to comply  with  and  which  carry
substantial  civil and even criminal penalties for failure to comply.  Some
laws, rules and regulations relating to protection of the environment  may,
in   certain  circumstances,  impose  strict  liability  for  environmental
contamination,  rendering  a person liable for  environmental  damages  and
cleanup  costs without regard to negligence or fault on the  part  of  such
person. Other laws, rules and regulations may restrict the rate of oil  and
natural  gas production below the rate that would otherwise exist  or  even
prohibit  exploration  and production activities  in  sensitive  areas.  In
addition,  state  laws often require various forms of  remedial  action  to
prevent  pollution,  such  as  closure of inactive  pits  and  plugging  of
abandoned wells. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas  industry
increases  our  cost  of  doing  business  and  consequently  affects   our
profitability.  We  believe  that  we are in  substantial  compliance  with
current  applicable environmental laws and regulations and  that  continued
compliance  with  existing requirements will not have  a  material  adverse
impact on our operations. However, environmental laws and regulations  have
been subject to frequent changes over the years, and the imposition of more
stringent  requirements  could  have a material  adverse  effect  upon  our
capital  expenditures,  earnings  or competitive  position.   Additionally,
given  the  intense litigation environment in the United States,  a  threat
exists  of  lawsuits  alleging personal injury  and  property  damage  from
environmental  contamination  alleged  to  be  created  by  us  or  related
entities.   Potential  liability  in such lawsuits  can  include  not  only
compensatory, but substantial punitive damages as well.  We are  not  aware
of any such suits currently pending or threatened.

<PAGE>

The  Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and  Liability  Act
("CERCLA"),  also known as the "Superfund" law, imposes liability,  without
regard  to  fault on certain classes of persons that are considered  to  be
responsible   for  the  release  of  a  "hazardous  substance"   into   the
environment. These persons include the current or former owner or  operator
of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that
disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. Under CERCLA
such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of
investigating and cleaning up hazardous substances that have been  released
into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of
certain  health  studies.  In  addition,  companies  that  incur  liability
frequently also confront third party claims because it is not uncommon  for
neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for  personal
injury  and  property  damage allegedly caused by hazardous  substances  or
other  pollutants  released  into the environment  from  a  polluted  site.
Potential  liability also exists under CERCLA for natural resource  damage.
A  Natural  Resource Damage Action (NRDA) could result in  liability  being
assessed for restoration to natural resources.

The  Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA") regulates the release of oil
into  water  or  other areas designated by the statute.   A  release  could
result  in  our  being  held responsible for the cost  of  remediating  the
release, OPA specified damages and natural resource damages.  The extent of
such liability could be extensive.   A release of oil in harmful quantities
or other materials into water or other specified areas could also result in
our  being held responsible under the Clean Water Act ("CWA") for the costs
of remediation, and any civil and criminal fines and penalties.

The   Federal  Solid  Waste  Disposal  Act,  as  amended  by  the  Resource
Conservation  and Recovery Act of 1976 ("RCRA"), regulates the  generation,
transportation,  storage, treatment and disposal  of  solid  and  hazardous
wastes and can require cleanup of abandoned hazardous waste disposal  sites
as  well  as  waste management areas operating facilities.  RCRA  currently
excludes drilling fluids, produced waters and other wastes associated  with
the  exploration,  development or production of oil and  natural  gas  from
regulation  as  "hazardous waste." Disposal of such non-hazardous  oil  and
natural  gas  exploration, development and production  wastes  usually  are
regulated  by state law. Other wastes handled at exploration and production
sites  or used in the course of providing well services may not fall within
this  exclusion.  Moreover,  stricter  standards  for  waste  handling  and
disposal may be imposed on the oil and natural gas industry in the  future.
From time to time legislation is proposed in Congress that would revoke  or
alter  the  current  exclusion of exploration, development  and  production
wastes  from  the RCRA definition of "hazardous wastes" thereby potentially
subjecting  such  wastes to more stringent handling, disposal  and  cleanup
requirements. If such legislation were enacted it could have a  significant
impact  on the operating costs of Southwest and Sierra, as well as the  oil
and natural gas industry and well servicing industry in general. The impact
of  future  revisions  to  environmental laws  and  regulations  cannot  be
predicted.  In addition, if our operations were to trigger regulation under
RCRA,  we could be required to satisfy certain financial criteria to ensure
financial  ability  to comply with RCRA regulations.   Proof  of  financial
responsibility  could  be required in the form of  dedicated  trust  funds,
irrevocable letters of credit, posting of bonds, etc.

The Federal Clean Water Act ("CWA") contains provisions that may result  in
the imposition of certain water pollution control requirements with respect
to water releases from our operations.  We may be required to incur certain
capital  expenditures in the next several years for water pollution control
equipment  in connection with obtaining and maintaining National  Pollutant
Discharge  Elimination Systems ("NPDES") permits.  However, we believe  our
operations  will  not  be  materially  adversely  affected  by   any   such
requirements,  and  the  requirements are  not  expected  to  be  any  more
burdensome to us than to other similarly situated companies involved in oil
and  natural  gas exploration and production activities or  well  surfacing
activities.

Our  operations are also subject to the federal Clean Air Act  ("CAA")  and
comparable state and local requirements. Amendments to the CAA were adopted
in 1990 and contain provisions that may result in the gradual imposition of
certain  pollution control requirements with respect to air emissions  from
our operations. We may be required to incur certain capital expenditures in
the  next  several years for air pollution control equipment in  connection
with  obtaining  and maintaining operating permits and  approvals  for  air
emissions.  However,  we  believe our operations  will  not  be  materially
adversely affected by any such requirements, and the requirements  are  not
expected  to be any more burdensome to us than to other similarly  situated
companies  involved  in  oil  and natural gas  exploration  and  production
activities or well servicing activities.

We  maintain  insurance against "sudden and accidental" occurrences,  which
may  cover  some, but not all, of the environmental risks described  above.
Most  significantly,  the insurance we maintain will not  cover  the  risks
described above which occur over a sustained period of time. Further, there
can  be  no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available  to
cover  all  such costs or that such insurance will be available at  premium
levels  that  justify its purchase.  The occurrence of a significant  event
not  fully  insured  or indemnified against could have a  material  adverse
effect on our financial condition and operations.

<PAGE>

Limited   partners  should  be  aware  that  the  assessment  of  liability
associated with environmental liabilities is not always correlated  to  the
value of a particular project.  Accordingly, liability associated with  the
environment under local, state, or federal regulations, particularly  clean
ups  under CERCLA, can exceed the value of our investment in the associated
site.

Regulation  of  Oil  and  Natural  Gas  Exploration  and  Production.   Our
exploration  and  production operations are subject  to  various  types  of
regulation  at  the  federal,  state and local  levels.   Such  regulations
include  requiring  permits and drilling bonds for the drilling  of  wells,
regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing  wells,
and  the  surface  use and restoration of properties upon which  wells  are
drilled.    Many  states  also  have  statutes  or  regulations  addressing
conservation matters, including provisions for the utilization  or  pooling
of  oil  and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates  of
production  from oil and natural gas wells and the regulation  of  spacing,
plugging and abandonment of such wells.  Some state statutes limit the rate
at which oil and natural gas can be produced from our properties.

Partnership Employees
The Partnership has no employees; however, the Managing General Partner has
a  staff of geologists, engineers, accountants, landmen and clerical  staff
who  engage in Partnership activities and operations and perform additional
services  for  the  Partnership as needed.  In  addition  to  the  Managing
General  Partner's  staff, the Partnership engages independent  consultants
such  as petroleum engineers and geologists as needed.  As of December  31,
2002,  there were 82 individuals directly employed by the Managing  General
Partner in various capacities.

Item 2.   Properties

In  determining  whether an interest in a particular leasehold  was  to  be
acquired,  the  Managing  General  Partner  considered  such  criteria   as
estimated  drilling costs, estimated oil and gas reserves,  estimated  cash
flow  from the sale of future production, present and future prices of  oil
and   gas,  the  extent  of  undeveloped  and  unproved  reserves  and  the
availability of markets.

As  of December 31, 2002, the Partnership possessed an interest in oil  and
gas properties located in Ward County of Texas and Lea and Eddy Counties of
New Mexico.  These properties consist of various interests in 9 wells.

Due  to  the  Partnership's  objective of  maintaining  current  operations
without  engaging  in  the  additional drilling  of  any  developmental  or
exploratory  wells,  or  additional acquisitions of  producing  properties,
there have not been any significant changes in properties during 2002, 2001
and 2000.

(1)Amounts  represent  proved developed reserves from  currently  producing
zones.

*Ryder Scott Company, L.P. prepared the reserve and present value data  for
the  Partnership's existing properties as of January 1, 2003.  The  reserve
estimates  were  made  in  accordance with guidelines  established  by  the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-
X.   Such guidelines require oil and gas reserve reports be prepared  under
existing economic and operating conditions with no provisions for price and
cost escalation except by contractual arrangements.

<PAGE>

Oil  price  adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to  reflect
oil quality, gathering and transportation costs. The results of the reserve
report as of January 1, 2003 are an average price of $29.67 per barrel.

Gas  price  adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to  reflect
BTU  content,  gathering and transportation costs and  gas  processing  and
shrinkage.  The results of the reserve report as of January 1, 2003 are  an
average price of $4.49 per Mcf.

As  also discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis
of  Financial Condition and Results of Operations, oil and gas prices  were
subject to frequent changes in 2002.

The  evaluation  of  oil and gas properties is not  an  exact  science  and
inevitably involves a significant degree of uncertainty, particularly  with
respect to the quantity of oil or gas that any given property is capable of
producing.   Estimates  of  oil and gas reserves  are  based  on  available
geological and engineering data, the extent and quality of which  may  vary
in  each  case  and,  in  certain instances, may prove  to  be  inaccurate.
Consequently,  properties may be depleted more rapidly than the  geological
and engineering data have indicated.

Unanticipated  depletion, if it occurs, will result in lower reserves  than
previously  estimated; thus an ultimately lower return for the Partnership.
As  new  data  is  gathered during the subsequent year, the  engineer  must
revise  his  earlier  estimates.   A year  of  new  information,  which  is
pertinent  to  the estimation of future recoverable volumes,  is  available
during the subsequent year evaluation.  In applying industry standards  and
procedures,  the new data may cause the previous estimates to  be  revised.
This  revision  may  increase  or decrease the earlier  estimated  volumes.
Pertinent   information  gathered  during  the  year  may  include   actual
production and decline rates, production from offset wells drilled  to  the
same   geologic   formation,  increased  or  decreased  water   production,
workovers,  and  changes  in  lifting costs,  among  others.   Accordingly,
reserve  estimates are often different from the quantities of oil  and  gas
that are ultimately recovered.

The  Partnership  has reserves, which are classified as  proved  developed.
All  of the proved reserves are included in the engineering reports,  which
evaluate the Partnership's present reserves.

The  Partnership or the owners of properties in which the Partnership  owns
an  interest  can  engage  in workover projects or  supplementary  recovery
projects, for example, to extract behind the pipe reserves.  See  Part  II,
Item  7,  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Partnership is
a party.

Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No  matter  was submitted to a vote of security holders during  the  fourth
quarter of 2002 through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Item 5.   Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
          Matters

Market Information
Investor  partner  interests, or units, in the Partnership  were  initially
offered  and  sold for a price of $1,000.  Investor partner units  are  not
traded  on any exchange and there is no public or organized trading  market
for  them.   Further, a transferee may not become a substitute  limited  or
general partner without the consent of the Managing General Partner.

The  Managing  General Partner has the right, but not  the  obligation,  to
purchase limited partnership units should an investor desire to sell.   The
value  of  the  unit is determined by adding the sum of (1) current  assets
less  liabilities  and  (2) the present value of the  future  net  revenues
attributable to proved reserves and by discounting the future net  revenues
at  a rate not in excess of the prime rate charged by Nations Bank, N.A. of
Midland, Texas, plus one percent (1%), which value shall be further reduced
by  a risk factor discount of no more than one-third (1/3) to be determined
by the Managing General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.  As of
December  31, 2002, no limited partner units were purchased by the Managing
General Partner.  Southwest, as Managing General Partner, evaluated several
liquidity alternatives for the partnerships in 2001 and 2002.  During 2002,
Southwest  specifically pursued the possible roll-up and merger of  twenty-
one   (21)  partnerships  with  the  general  partner.   Because   of   the
complexities and conflicts of interest in such a transaction, the  Managing
General  Partner  did not make a formal repurchase offer in  2002  but  has
responded  to  limited  partners  desiring  to  sell  their  units  in  the
partnerships  on  an "as requested" basis.  Southwest anticipates  that  it
will  not make a formal repurchase offer during 2003 because the merger  is
still being contemplated and Southwest's Registration Statement on Form S-4
relating  to the merger is still in the review process with the  Securities
and  Exchange Commission.  Repurchases by Southwest, however, will continue
to be made on an "as requested" basis.  As of December 31, 2001, no limited
partner  units were purchased by the Managing General Partner.  In 2000,  5
limited  partner  units  were tendered to and  purchased  by  the  Managing
General Partner at an average base price of $181.86 per unit.

Number of Limited and General Partner Interest Holders
As of December 31, 2002, there were 105 holders of limited partner units.

Distributions
Pursuant  to Article IV, Section 4.01 of the Partnership's Certificate  and
Agreement  of  Limited Partnership, "Net Cash Flow" is distributed  to  the
partners  on  a quarterly basis.  "Net Cash Flow" is defined as  "the  cash
generated  by the Partnership's drilling activities, less (i)  General  and
Administrative  Costs,  (ii)  Operating  Costs,  and  (iii)  any   reserves
necessary  to  meet  current  and anticipated  needs  of  the  Partnership,
including, but not limited to drilling cost overruns, as determined in  the
sole discretion of the Managing General Partner."

During  2002,  quarterly  distributions were made totaling  $112,957,  with
$100,532  distributed to the investor partners and $12,425 to the  Managing
General  Partners.  For the year ended December 31, 2002, distributions  of
$71.45  per  investor  partner unit were made, based  upon  1,407  investor
partner units outstanding.  During 2001, quarterly distributions were  made
totaling  $208,798, with $185,830 distributed to the investor partners  and
$22,968 to the Managing General Partners.  For the year ended December  31,
2001,  distributions of $132.08 per investor partner unit were made,  based
upon  1,407  investor  partner units outstanding.  During  2000,  quarterly
distributions were made totaling $224,640, with $199,930 distributed to the
investor  partners and $24,710 to the Managing General Partners.   For  the
year ended December 31, 2000, distributions of $142.10 per investor partner
unit were made, based upon 1,407 investor partner units outstanding.

          Results of Operations

General

Southwest  Developmental  Drilling Fund 92-A, L.P.  (the  "Partnership"  or
"Registrant")  was organized as a Delaware limited partnership  on  May  5,
1992.   The offering of limited and general partner interests began  August
11,  1992  as part of a shelf offering registered under the name  Southwest
Developmental  Drilling Program 1991-92.  Minimum capital requirements  for
the Partnership were met on December 28, 1992, with the offering of limited
and  general  partner interests concluding December 31,  1992,  with  total
investor partner contributions of $1,407,000.  The Managing General Partner
made a contribution to the capital of the Partnership at the conclusion  of
the  offering  period  in  an  amount  equal  to  1%  of  its  net  capital
contributions.  The Managing General Partner contribution was $12,030.

The  Partnership was formed to engage primarily in the business of drilling
developmental  and exploratory wells, to produce and market crude  oil  and
natural  gas produced from such properties, to distribute any net  proceeds
from  operations  to the general and limited partners  and  to  the  extent
necessary  acquire leases, which contain drilling prospects.  Net  revenues
will  not  be  reinvested in other revenue producing assets except  to  the
extent  that  performance of remedial work is needed to  improve  a  well's
producing capabilities.  The economic life of the Partnership thus  depends
on  the  period  over  which the Partnership's oil  and  gas  reserves  are
economically recoverable.

Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing no workovers
to  enhance  production.  The partnership will most likely  experience  the
historical production decline, which have approximated 7% per year.

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 prepared by outside consultants.

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.

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2002,  the  Partnership  changed  methods  of
accounting  for  depletion of capitalized costs from  the  units-of-revenue
method  to  the  units-of-production method.  The newly adopted  accounting
principle   is  preferable  in  the  circumstances  because  the  units-of-
production method results in a better matching of the costs of oil and  gas
production  against  the related revenue received in  periods  of  volatile
prices   for  production  as  have  been  experienced  in  recent  periods.
Additionally, the units-of-production method is the predominant method used
by full cost companies in the oil and gas industry, accordingly, the change
improves  the comparability of the Partnership's financial statements  with
its  peer group.  The effect of this change in method resulted in no change
to 2002 depletion expense, however, it decreased 2002 net income by $3,000.
See Note 3 of the notes to the Partnership's financial statements.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $273,741 from $332,643
for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, a decrease of
18%.   The  principal factors affecting the comparison of the  years  ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared  to  the
    year ended December 31, 2001 by 3%, or $.69 per barrel, resulting in  a
    decrease of approximately $5,800 in revenues. Oil sales represented 75%
    of  total oil and gas sales during the year ended December 31, 2002  as
    compared to 72% during the year ended December 31, 2001.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased during the same period by 25%, or $1.03 per mcf, resulting in
    a decrease of approximately $22,700 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $28,500.  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.

2.   Oil production decreased approximately 1,050 barrels or 11% during the
   year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December  31,
   2001, resulting in a decrease of approximately $26,500 in revenues.

    Gas  production decreased approximately 1,000 mcf or 4% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $4,100 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $30,600.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses decreased to $154,781 from $172,299 for the years
ended  December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, a decrease  of  10%.   The
decrease  is  the  result  of  lower lease operating  costs  and  depletion
expense,  partially  offset  by  an  increase  general  and  administrative
expense.

1.    Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  6%  lower,  or
   approximately  $8,500 less during the year ended December  31,  2002  as
   compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting  and
    engineering  fees,  computer services, postage,  and  Managing  General
    Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs increased  6%
    or  approximately  $1,000 during the year ended December  31,  2002  as
    compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $14,000 for the year ended December  31,
    2002  from  $24,000  for the same period in 2001.   This  represents  a
    decrease  of  42%.   In  the fourth quarter of  2002,  the  Partnership
    changed  methods of accounting for depletion of capitalized costs  from
    the  units-of-revenue  method to the units-of-production  method.   The
    newly  adopted  accounting principle is preferable in the circumstances
    because the units-of-production method results in a better matching  of
    the  costs  of  oil  and  gas production against  the  related  revenue
    received  in  periods of volatile prices for production  as  have  been
    experienced  in  recent periods.  Additionally, the units-of-production
    method is the predominant method used by full cost companies in the oil
    and gas industry, accordingly, the change improves the comparability of
    the Partnership's financial statements with its peer group.  The effect
    of  this  change  in  method resulted in no change  to  2002  depletion
    expense, however, it decreased 2002 net income by $3,000.  See  Note  3
    of the notes to the Partnership's financial statements.

   The  major  factor  in  the decrease in depletion  expense  between  the
   comparative  periods was the increase in the price of oil and  gas  used
   to  determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 2003 as compared
   to  2002,  which provided more economically recoverable proved  reserves
   at  January 1, 2003 which caused the depletion rate per equivalent  unit
   produced  to  decline.  Also, as discussed above, the  total  equivalent
   units produced in 2002 declined from 2001.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $332,643 from $371,824
for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, a decrease of
11%.   The  principal factors affecting the comparison of the  years  ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared  to  the
    year ended December 31, 2000 by 15%, or $4.48 per barrel, resulting  in
    a  decrease of approximately $42,400 in revenues. Oil sales represented
    72%  of total oil and gas sales during the year ended December 31, 2001
    as compared to 78% during the year ended December 31, 2000.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the same period by 3%, or $.10 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $2,300 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $40,100.  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 340 barrels or 3%  during  the
   year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the year ended December  31,
   2000, resulting in a decrease of approximately $10,100 in revenues.

    Gas production increased approximately 2,800 mcf or 14% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $11,100 in revenues.

    The  net total increase in revenues due to the change in production  is
    approximately $1,000.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses increased to $172,299 from $154,913 for the years
ended  December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, an increase of  11%.   The
increase  is the result of higher lease operating costs, depletion  expense
and general and administrative expense.

  1.Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  6%  higher,   or
   approximately  $7,800 more during the year ended December  31,  2001  as
   compared to the year ended December 31, 2000.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting  and
    engineering  fees,  computer services, postage,  and  Managing  General
    Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs increased  4%
    or  approximately  $600  during the year ended  December  31,  2001  as
    compared to the year ended December 31, 2000.

3.  Depletion expense increased to $24,000 for the year ended December  31,
    2001  from  $15,000  for the same period in 2000.  This  represents  an
    increase  of  60%.   Depletion is calculated using the units-of-revenue
    method  of  amortization based on a percentage of current period  gross
    revenues  to  total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated  by
    the Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.

    The  major  factor  in  the increase in depletion expense  between  the
    comparative periods was the decrease in the price of oil and  gas  used
    to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 2002 as compared
    to  2001,  and  the decrease in oil and gas revenues  received  by  the
    Partnership  during  2001 as compared to 2000.  Revisions  of  previous
    estimates  can be attributed to the changes in production  performance,
    oil  and  gas  price and production costs.  The impact of the  revision
    would  have  increased  depletion expense approximately  $6,000  as  of
    December 31, 2000.

C.   Revenue and Distribution Comparison

Partnership net income for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000
was  $117,581, $160,893 and $217,640, respectively.  Excluding the  effects
of depreciation, depletion and amortization, net income for the years ended
December  31,  2002, 2001 and 2000, would have been $131,581, $184,893  and
$232,640, respectively.  Correspondingly, Partnership distributions for the
years  ended  December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $112,957, $208,798  and
$224,640, respectively.  These differences are indicative of the changes in
oil and gas prices, production and property during 2002, 2001 and 2000.

The  sources  for  the  2002 distributions of $112,957  were  oil  and  gas
operations  of  approximately  $124,000 and  the  change  in  oil  and  gas
properties   of   approximately  $(10),  resulting  in  excess   cash   for
contingencies  or  subsequent distributions.   The  sources  for  the  2001
distributions  of  $208,798  were oil and gas operations  of  approximately
$197,000 and the change in oil and gas properties of approximately  $1,400,
with  the  balance  from available cash on hand at  the  beginning  of  the
period.   The sources for the 2000 distributions of $224,640 were  oil  and
gas  operations  of approximately $228,800 and the change in  oil  and  gas
properties   of   approximately  $(75),  resulting  in  excess   cash   for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Total  distributions during the year ended December 31, 2002 were  $112,957
of  which $100,532 was distributed to the investor partners and $12,425  to
the  Managing  General  Partners.  The per unit  distribution  to  investor
partners during the same period was $71.45.  Total distributions during the
year  ended  December  31,  2001  were  $208,798  of  which  $185,830   was
distributed  to  the investor partners and $22,968 to the Managing  General
Partners.  The per unit distribution to investor partners during  the  same
period was $132.08.  Total distributions during the year ended December 31,
2000  were  $224,640  of  which $199,930 was distributed  to  the  investor
partners  and  $24,710  to the Managing General  Partners.   The  per  unit
distribution to investor partners during the same period was $142.10.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $1,699,310  have been made to the partners.  As of December  31,  2002,
$1,512,762 or $1,075.17 per investor partner unit, has been distributed  to
the  investor  partners, representing a 100% return of  capital  and  a  8%
return on capital contributed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The  primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income  from
oil and gas properties.  The Partnership anticipates the primary source  of
cash to continue being from the oil and gas operations.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $124,000  in
2002 compared to $197,000 in 2001 and approximately $228,800 in 2000.   The
primary  source  of  the  2002  cash flow  from  operating  activities  was
profitable operations.

Cash  flows  (used in) provided by investing activities were  approximately
$(10)  in 2002 compared to $1,400 in 2001 and approximately $(75) in  2000.
The  primary  use of the 2002 cash flow from investing activities  was  the
change in oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $113,000 in 2002
compared to $208,700 in 2001 and approximately $224,600 in 2000.  The  only
use in the 2002 financing activities was the distributions to partners.

As  of  December 31, 2002, the Partnership had $67,000 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 Partnership cannot develop  its  non  producing
properties, if any.  Without continued development, the producing  reserves
continue  to  deplete.  Accordingly, as the Partnership's  properties  have
matured  and  depleted,  the  net  cash  flows  from  operations  for   the
Partnership  has  steadily  declined, except in  periods  of  substantially
increased  commodity pricing.  Maintenance of properties and administrative
expenses for the Partnership are increasing relative to production.  As the
properties   continue   to   deplete,   maintenance   of   properties   and
administrative costs as a percentage of production are expected to continue
to increase.

The  Managing General Partner has examined various alternatives to  address
the  issue of depleting producing reserves.  Continuing operations  exposes
the   Partnership  to  an  inevitable  decline  in  operating  results  and
distributions  of  cash.   Liquidating  the  Partnership  would  result  in
immediate  realization of cash for limited partners,  but  prices  paid  by
purchasers  of Partnership property in liquidation would likely  include  a
substantial  discount  for risks and uncertainties of  future  cash  flows.
After  reviewing  various alternatives, we initiated a plan  to  merge  the
Partnership  and 20 other limited partnerships with and into  the  Managing
General Partner.  On October 17, 2002, the Managing General Partner filed a
Registration  Statement  on  form  S-4 with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  relating  to  this proposed merger.   There  is  no  assurance,
however, that this merger will be consummated.

<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 is currently seeking to renegotiate
the  terms  of its obligations, including extending maturity dates,  or  to
engage  new  lenders or equity investors in order to satisfy its  financial
obligations maturing in 2004.

There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the Managing  General  Partner's  debt
restructuring efforts will be successful.  In the event these  efforts  are
unsuccessful,  the Managing General Partner would need  to  look  to  other
alternatives  to  meet its debt obligations, including potentially  selling
its  assets.  There can be no assurance, however, that the sales of  assets
can  be  successfully  accomplished on terms  acceptable  to  the  Managing
General Partner.  Please see the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-
Q  for  the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003, which will be  filed
with the Commission on or before November 14, 2003, for updated information
on  the  liquidity of the Managing General Partner.  The liquidity  of  the
Managing General Partner, however, does not have a material impact  on  the
operations   of  the  Partnership.   The  partnership  agreement   of   the
Partnership  allows  the  limited partners to elect  a  successor  managing
general partner to continue Partnership operations.

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.   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 allocate the additional cost  over  the
estimated  useful life of the asset.  On January 1, 2003,  the  Partnership
recorded  additional costs, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion  and
amortization,   of  approximately  $23,838,  a  long  term   liability   of
approximately $26,582 and a loss of approximately $2,744 for the cumulative
effect on depreciation, depletion and amortization of the additional  costs
and  accretion  expense  on the liability related to  expected  abandonment
costs of its oil and natural gas producing properties.

                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

The Partners
Southwest Developmental Drilling
 Fund 92-A
 (A Delaware Limited Partnership):


We  have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Southwest Developmental
Drilling  Fund 92-A (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2002  and  2001,
and  the related statements of operations, changes in partners' equity  and
cash  flows  for each of the years in the three year period ended  December
31,  2002.   These  financial  statements are  the  responsibility  of  the
Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an  opinion  on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits in accordance with auditing standards  generally
accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that  we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit  includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in  the  financial  statements.   An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well  as  evaluating  the  overall financial  statement  presentation.   We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Southwest Developmental
Drilling Fund 92-A as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of  its
operations  and  its cash flows for each of the years  in  the  three  year
period  ended  December  31, 2002 in conformity with accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

As  discussed in Notes 3 and 9to the financial statements, the  Partnership
changed its method of computing depletion in 2002.

                      Notes to Financial Statements

1.   Organization
     Southwest  Developmental Drilling Fund 92-A, L.P. was organized  under
     the  laws of the state of Delaware on May 5, 1992, for the purpose  of
     engaging  primarily  in  the  business of drilling  developmental  and
     exploratory  wells, to produce and market crude oil  and  natural  gas
     produced  from  such  properties, and acquire  leases,  which  contain
     drilling prospects.  The activities of the Partnership should continue
     for  a  term  of  50 years, unless terminated at an  earlier  date  as
     provided   for   in   the  Partnership  Agreement.   The   Partnership
     anticipates  selling  its  oil and gas  production  to  a  variety  of
     purchasers  with the prices it receives being dependent upon  the  oil
     and  gas  economy.  Southwest Royalties, Inc. serves as  the  Managing
     General  Partner.   Revenues,  costs and  expenses  are  allocated  as
     follows:

                              Managing
                              General   Investor
                              Partner   Partners
                              --------  --------

development costs
All other costs*              11%       89%

     *After the Investor Partners have received distributions totaling 150%
     of  their  capital contributions, the allocation will  change  to  15%
     Managing General Partner and 85% Investor Partners.

          (1)   All  organization costs in excess of 4% of initial  capital
          contributions  will be paid by the Managing General  Partner  and
          will  be treated as a capital contribution.  The Partnership paid
          the  Managing  General Partner an amount equal to 4%  of  initial
          capital contributions for such organization costs.

          (2)  Administrative costs in any year, which exceed 2% of capital
          contributions shall be paid by the Managing General  Partner  and
          will be treated as a capital contribution.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     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.

     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-of-revenue  method
     for  the  years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and for the nine  months
     ended  September 30, 2002, we have not excluded royalty and net profit
     interest  payments from gross revenues as all of our royalty  and  net
     profit  interests have been purchased and capitalized to the depletion
     basis  of our proved oil and gas properties.  As of December 31, 2002,
     2001  and 2000, the net capitalized costs did not exceed the estimated
     present value of oil and gas reserves.

     Estimates and Uncertainties
     The  preparation of financial statements in conformity with  generally
     accepted  accounting principles requires management to make  estimates
     and  assumptions  that  affect  the reported  amounts  of  assets  and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
     date  of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
     and  expenses during the reporting period. The Partnerships  depletion
     calculation and full-cost ceiling test for oil and gas properties uses
     oil and gas reserves estimates, which are inherently imprecise. Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

     Syndication Costs
     Syndication  costs  are  accounted for as a reduction  of  partnership
     equity.

     Environmental Costs
     The  Partnership  is  subject to extensive federal,  state  and  local
     environmental laws and regulations.  These laws, which are  constantly
     changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and
     may  require  the Partnership to remove or mitigate the  environmental
     effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances
     at   various  sites.   Environmental  expenditures  are  expensed   or
     capitalized depending on their future economic benefit.  Costs,  which
     improve a property as compared with the condition of the property when
     originally  constructed or acquired and costs,  which  prevent  future
     environmental contamination are capitalized.  Expenditures that relate
     to  an  existing condition caused by past operations and that have  no
     future  economic benefits are expensed.  Liabilities for  expenditures
     of  a  non-capital  nature are recorded when environmental  assessment
     and/or  remediation  is  probable, and the  costs  can  be  reasonably
     estimated.

     Revenue Recognition
     We  recognize  oil  and gas sales when delivery to the  purchaser  has
     occurred  and title has transferred.  This occurs when production  has
     been delivered to a pipeline or transport vehicle.

     Gas Balancing
     The  Partnership utilizes the sales method of accounting for  over  or
     under  deliveries of gas.  Under this method, the Partnership  records
     revenues  based  on  the  payments it  has  received  for  sales  from
     purchasers.   As of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the  Partnership
     was not over or under produced.

     Income Taxes
     No  provision  for  income  taxes  is  reflected  in  these  financial
     statements, since the tax effects of the Partnership's income or  loss
     are passed through to the individual partners.

     In   accordance  with  the  requirements  of  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting  Standards  No. 109, "Accounting  for  Income  Taxes,"  the
     Partnership's tax basis in its net oil and gas assets at December  31,
     2002  and 2001 was $161,628 and $173,234, respectively, less than that
     shown  on the accompanying Balance Sheets in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents
     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers
     all  highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
     months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Partnership maintains  its
     cash at one financial institution.

     Investor Partner Units
     As  of  December  31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, there were  1,407  investor
     units outstanding held by 105, 105 and 103 partners.

     Concentrations of Credit Risk
     The  Partnership is subject to credit risk through trade  receivables.
     Although  a  substantial portion of its debtors'  ability  to  pay  is
     dependent upon the oil and gas industry, credit risk is minimized  due
     to  a  large customer base.  All partnership revenues are received  by
     the   Managing  General  Partner  and  subsequently  remitted  to  the
     partnership and all expenses are paid by the Managing General  Partner
     and subsequently reimbursed by the partnership.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     The  carrying amount of cash and accounts receivable approximates fair
     value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

     Net Income (loss) per limited partnership unit
     The  net  income (loss) per limited partnership unit is calculated  by
     using the number of outstanding limited partnership units.

     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.  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  allocate  the
     additional  cost  over the estimated useful life  of  the  asset.   On
     January  1,  2003, the Partnership recorded additional costs,  net  of
     accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization, of approximately
     $23,838, a long term liability of approximately $26,582 and a loss  of
     approximately  $2,744  for  the  cumulative  effect  on  depreciation,
     depletion  and  amortization  of the additional  costs  and  accretion
     expense on the liability related to expected abandonment costs of  its
     oil and natural gas producing properties.

     Depletion Policy
     In  2002,  the Partnership changed methods of accounting for depletion
     of capitalized costs from the units-of-revenue method to the units-of-
     production method. (See Note 3)

3.   Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
     In  the  fourth  quarter of 2002, the Partnership changed  methods  of
     accounting  for  depletion  of capitalized costs  from  the  units-of-
     revenue  method to the units-of-production method.  The newly  adopted
     accounting  principle is preferable in the circumstances  because  the
     units-of-production method results in a better matching of  the  costs
     of  oil  and  gas production against the related revenue  received  in
     periods of volatile prices for production as have been experienced  in
     recent  periods.  Additionally, the units-of-production method is  the
     predominant  method used by full cost companies in  the  oil  and  gas
     industry,  accordingly, the change improves the comparability  of  the
     Partnership's   financial  statements  with  its  peer   group.    The
     Partnership   adopted  the  units-of-production  method  through   the
     recording  of a cumulative effect of a change in accounting  principle
     in  the  amount  of  $3,000  effective as of  January  1,  2002.   The
     Partnership's  depletion for the year ended 2002 has  been  calculated
     using  the  units-of-production method and prior years have  not  been
     restated.   The  pro  forma  amounts for  2001  and  2000,  which  are
     presented  on  the face of the statements of operations,  reflect  the
     effect  of retroactive application of the units-of-production  method.
     There  was  no effect on the year ended December 31, 2002  net  income
     before  cumulative effect of a change in accounting  principle  and  a
     decrease  to  net income of $3,000 ($2.13 per limited  partner  unit).
     See  Note 10 for the effects of the change in depletion method on  the
     individual quarters of 2002.

4.   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  is
     currently  seeking  to  renegotiate  the  terms  of  its  obligations,
     including  extending  maturity dates, or seek new  lenders  or  equity
     investors  in order to satisfy its financial obligations  maturing  in
     2004.

                      Notes to Financial Statements

4.   Liquidity - Managing General Partner - continued
     There  can  be  no assurance that the Managing General Partner's  debt
     restructuring efforts will be successful.  In the event these  efforts
     are  unsuccessful, the Managing General Partner would need to look  to
     other alternatives to meet its debt obligations, including potentially
     selling  its  assets.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that  the
     sales  of  assets can be successfully accomplished on terms acceptable
     to  the  Managing  General  Partner.   Please  see  the  Partnership's
     Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September
     30,  2003,  which  will  be  filed with the Commission  on  or  before
     November  14,  2003, for updated information on the liquidity  of  the
     Managing  General  Partner.  The liquidity  of  the  Managing  General
     Partner, however, does not have a material impact on the operations of
     the  Partnership.  The partnership agreement of the Partnership allows
     the limited partners to elect a successor managing general partner  to
     continue Partnership operations.

5.   Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
     The Managing General Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to
     purchase limited partnership units should an investor desire to  sell.
     The  value of the unit is determined by adding the sum of (1)  current
     assets  less liabilities and (2) the present value of the  future  net
     revenues attributable to proved reserves and by discounting the future
     net  revenues  at  a rate not in excess of the prime rate  charged  by
     Nations  Bank,  N.A. of Midland, Texas, plus one percent  (1%),  which
     value  shall be further reduced by a risk factor discount of  no  more
     than  one-third (1/3) to be determined by the Managing General Partner
     in its sole and absolute discretion.

     Southwest,  as  Managing General Partner, evaluated several  liquidity
     alternatives  for  the partnerships in 2001 and  2002.   During  2002,
     Southwest  specifically pursued the possible  roll-up  and  merger  of
     twenty-one (21) partnerships with the general partner.  Because of the
     complexities  and  conflicts of interest in such  a  transaction,  the
     Managing  General  Partner did not make a formal repurchase  offer  in
     2002  but  has  responded to limited partners desiring to  sell  their
     units  in  the  partnerships  on an "as requested"  basis.   Southwest
     anticipates  that  it will not make a formal repurchase  offer  during
     2003  because  the merger is still being contemplated and  Southwest's
     Registration Statement of Form S-4 relating to the merger is still  in
     the  review  process  with  the Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.
     Repurchases by Southwest, however, will continue to be made on an  "as
     requested" basis.

     The  Partnership  is  subject  to various  federal,  state  and  local
     environmental  laws  and  regulations, which establish  standards  and
     requirements  for  protection  of the  environment.   The  Partnership
     cannot  predict the future impact of such standards and  requirements,
     which  are  subject to change and can have retroactive  effectiveness.
     The  Partnership  continues to monitor the status of  these  laws  and
     regulations.

     As  of December 31, 2002, the Partnership has not been fined, cited or
     notified  of any environmental violations and management is not  aware
     of  any  unasserted  violations, which would have a  material  adverse
     effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position
     in the oil and gas industry.

     However,  the  Managing  General Partner does recognize  by  the  very
     nature  of its business, material costs could be incurred in the  near
     term  to  bring the Partnership into total compliance.  The amount  of
     such  future expenditures is not reliably determinable due to  several
     factors,  including the unknown magnitude of possible  contaminations,
     the  unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may  be
     required,   the  determination  of  the  Partnership's  liability   in
     proportion  to other responsible parties and the extent to which  such
     expenditures  are recoverable from insurance or indemnifications  from
     prior owners of Partnership's properties.

6.   Related Party Transactions
     A  significant  portion  of the oil and gas properties  in  which  the
     Partnership  has  an interest are operated by and purchased  from  the
     Managing  General Partner.  As provided for in the operating agreement
     for  each respective oil and gas property in which the Partnership has
     an  interest,  the  operator  is  paid an  amount  for  administrative
     overhead attributable to operating such properties, with such  amounts
     to  Southwest  Royalties,  Inc.  as  operator  approximating  $23,700,
     $23,600  and $22,700 for the years ended December 31, 2002,  2001  and
     2000,   respectively.    The   amounts  for  administrative   overhead
     attributable  to  operating  the  partnership  properties  have   been
     deducted from gross oil and gas revenues in the determination  of  net
     profit  interest.      In addition, the Managing General  Partner  and
     certain  officers and employees may have an interest in  some  of  the
     properties that the Partnership also participates.

     Certain  subsidiaries  or affiliates of the Managing  General  Partner
     perform  various  oilfield  services  for  properties  in  which   the
     Partnership  owns an interest.  Such services aggregated approximately
     $0,  $500  and $3,700 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001  and
     2000,  respectively.  The amounts for oilfield services performed  for
     the  partnership  by affiliates of the Managing General  Partner  have
     been deducted from gross oil and gas revenues in the determination  of
     net profit interest

     Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General Partner, was  paid  an
     administrative  fee  of  $12,000  during  2002,  2001  and  2000   for
     reimbursement   of   indirect  general  and  administrative   overhead
     expenses.   The  administrative  fees  are  included  in  general  and
     administrative expense on the statement of operations.

     Receivables  from  Southwest  Royalties, Inc.,  the  Managing  General
     Partner,  of  approximately $39,500 and $29,000 are from oil  and  gas
     production, net of lease operating costs and production taxes,  as  of
     December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

7.   Major Customers
     No  material portion of the Partnership's business is dependent  on  a
     single purchaser, or a very few purchaser, where the loss of one would
     have  a  material adverse impact on the Partnership.  Three purchasers
     accounted  for  95% of the Partnership's total oil and gas  production
     during  2002: Plains Marketing LP for 59%, Duke Energy Field  Services
     LP  for 19% and Navajo Refining Company, Inc. for 17%.  Contracts  for
     2002 with these major purchasers cover time periods ranging from month
     to  month contracts up to year-year contract periods.  Prices received
     from  these major purchasers ranged from a low of $22.73 per Bbl to  a
     high of $23.02 per Bbl and $2.86 per mcf.   Three purchasers accounted
     for 93% of the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2001:
     Plains  Marketing LP for 58%, Duke Energy Field Services for  21%  and
     Navajo Refining Company, Inc. for 14%.  Contracts for 2001 with  these
     major  purchasers  cover  time periods ranging  from  month  to  month
     contracts  up  to  year-year contract periods.  Prices  received  from
     these  major purchasers ranged from a low of $27.00 per Bbl to a  high
     of  $27.33 per Bbl and $4.90 per mcf.   Three purchasers accounted for
     94%  of  the  Partnership's total oil and gas production during  2000:
     Plains Marketing LP for 63%, Navajo Refining Company, Inc. for 16% and
     Duke  Energy  Transport and Trade for 15%.  Contracts  for  2000  with
     these  major purchasers cover time periods ranging from month to month
     contracts  up  to  year-year contract periods.  Prices  received  from
     these  major purchasers ranged from a low of $28.45 per Bbl to a  high
     of  $28.62  per  Bbl  and  $3.72  per  mcf.   All  purchasers  of  the
     Partnership's oil and gas production are unrelated third parties.   In
     the   event   this  purchaser  were  to  discontinue  purchasing   the
     Partnership's production, the Managing General Partner believes that a
     substitute  purchaser  or purchasers could be  located  without  undue
     delay.  No other purchaser accounted for an amount equal to or greater
     than 10% of the Partnership's total oil and gas production.

8.   Estimated Oil and Gas Reserves (unaudited) - continued
     *Ryder Scott Company, L.P. prepared the reserve and present value data
     for  the Partnership's existing properties as of January 1, 2003.  The
     reserve  estimates were made in accordance with guidelines established
     by  the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 4-10(a) of
     Regulation  S-X.  Such guidelines require oil and gas reserve  reports
     be  prepared under existing economic and operating conditions with  no
     provisions  for  price  and  cost  escalation  except  by  contractual
     arrangements.

     Oil  price  adjustments  were made in the  individual  evaluations  to
     reflect  oil quality, gathering and transportation costs. The  results
     of  the  reserve report as of January 1, 2003 are an average price  of
     $29.67 per barrel.

     Gas  price  adjustments  were made in the  individual  evaluations  to
     reflect  BTU  content,  gathering and  transportation  costs  and  gas
     processing  and shrinkage.  The results of the reserve  report  as  of
     January 1, 2003 are an average price of $4.49 per Mcf.

     The  evaluation of oil and gas properties is not an exact science  and
     inevitably  involves a significant degree of uncertainty, particularly
     with respect to the quantity of oil or gas that any given property  is
     capable of producing.  Estimates of oil and gas reserves are based  on
     available  geological and engineering data the extent and  quality  of
     which may vary in each case and, in certain instances, may prove to be
     inaccurate.   Consequently, properties may be  depleted  more  rapidly
     than the geological and engineering data have indicated.

     Unanticipated  depletion, if it occurs, will result in lower  reserves
     than  previously estimated; thus an ultimately lower  return  for  the
     Partnership.  As new data is gathered during the subsequent year,  the
     engineer must revise his earlier estimates. A year of new information,
     which is pertinent to the estimation of future recoverable volumes, is
     available during the subsequent year evaluation.  In applying industry
     standards  and  procedures,  the  new  data  may  cause  the  previous
     estimates  to be revised.  This revision may increase or decrease  the
     earlier estimated volumes.  Pertinent information gathered during  the
     year  may include actual production and decline rates, production from
     offset  wells  drilled  to the same geologic formation,  increased  or
     decreased  water production, workovers, and changes in lifting  costs,
     among others.  Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from
     the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered.

     The   Partnership  has  reserves,  which  are  classified  as   proved
     developed.  All of the proved reserves are included in the engineering
     reports, which evaluate the Partnership's present reserves.

                      Notes to Financial Statements

9.   December 31, 2002 Restatement
     During  2002,  the  Partnership changed its method  of  providing  for
     depletion  from the units-of-revenue method to the units-of-production
     method as described in Note 3.

     Subsequent to the issuance of the Partnership's Annual Report on  Form
     10-K  for the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership determined
     that the above change in accounting method should have been adopted by
     the  Partnership  as  a  cumulative effect of a change  in  accounting
     principle.  The Partnership had previously applied the change  in  the
     method of providing for depletion prospectively as of October 1, 2002.

     This  change in the method used to implement the Partnership's  change
     in  the manner in which it determines depletion resulted in a decrease
     in the Partnership's previously reported net oil and gas properties of
     $3,000  from $171,892 to $168,892 as of December 31, 2002 and did  not
     effect the Partnership's 2002 cash flows from operations, investing or
     financing activities.

     The  change  had the following effects on the Statement of  Operations
     for the year ended December 31, 2002.  (Periods prior to 2002 were not
     affected by the change).

10.  Selected Quarterly Financial Results - (unaudited)
     As  discussed  in Note 3, in 2002 the Partnership changed  methods  of
     accounting  for  depletion  of capitalized costs  from  the  units-of-
     revenue  method to the units-of-production method.  The 2002 quarterly
     financial  results presented below have been restated to  reflect  the
     change in depletion method effective as of January 1, 2002.  See Notes
     3 and 9 for a detailed discussion of the change in depletion method.

Mr.  Tate  was employed by C.F. Lawrence & Associates, Inc., an independent

In certain instances, the Managing General Partner will engage professional
petroleum   consultants   and  other  independent  contractors,   including
engineers   and   geologists  in  connection  with  property  acquisitions,
geological  and  geophysical  analysis,  and  reservoir  engineering.   The
Managing  General Partner believes that, in addition to its own  "in-house"
staff,  the utilization of such consultants and independent contractors  in
specific  instances  and  on  an  "as-needed"  basis  allows  for   greater
flexibility  and greater opportunity to perform its oil and gas  activities
more economically and effectively.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation

officers  of  the  Managing General Partner do  not  receive  any  form  of
compensation,  from  the Partnership; instead, their compensation  is  paid
solely  by  Southwest.  The executive officers, however,  may  occasionally
perform administrative duties for the Partnership but receive no additional
compensation for this work.

There are no arrangements known to the Managing General Partner, which  may

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

In 2002, the Managing General Partner received $12,000 as an administrative
fee.   This  amount  is  part  of the general and  administrative  expenses
incurred by the Partnership.

In  some  instances the Managing General Partner and certain  officers  and
employees  may  be working interest owners in an oil and  gas  property  in
which  the Partnership also has a working interest.  Certain properties  in
which  the Partnership has an interest are operated by the Managing General
Partner,  who  was  paid approximately $23,700 for administrative  overhead
attributable to operating such properties during 2002.

Certain  subsidiaries or affiliates of the Managing General Partner perform
various  oilfield services for properties in which the Partnership owns  an
interest.   There were no such services for the period ended  December  31,
2002.

The  terms of the above transactions are similar to ones, which would  have
been  obtained  through arm's length negotiations with  unaffiliated  third
parties.

Item 14.  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
annual  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 is made known to such officers by others within
these  entities,  particularly during the period  this  annual  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.

June 4, 2003

Southwest Royalties, Inc. (As Managing General Partner of the
Partnerships)

Midland, Texas


Ladies and Gentlemen:

We  have  audited the balance sheets of the Southwest  Royalties,
Inc.    public   partnerships   (see   attached   listing)   (the
"Partnerships") as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related
statements  of  operations, statements of  changes  in  partners'
equity,  and  cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year
period  ended December 31, 2002, and have reported thereon  under
date  of March 14, 2003.  The aforementioned financial statements
and  our  audit  report  thereon are  included  in  each  of  the
individual  Partnership's annual reports on Form 10-K/A  for  the
year ended December 31, 2002.

As   stated  in  Note  2  to  those  financial  statements,   the
Partnerships  changed their method of accounting for amortization
of  capitalized  costs from the units-of-revenue  method  to  the
units-of-production method, and that the newly adopted accounting
principle is preferable in the circumstances because the units-of-
production  method results in a better matching of the  costs  of
oil  and  gas production against the related revenue received  in
periods   of  volatile  prices  for  production  as   have   been
experienced  in  recent  periods.   Additionally,  the  units-of-
production  method is the predominant method used  by  full  cost
companies  in the oil and gas industry, accordingly,  the  change
improves   the  comparability  of  the  Partnerships'   financial
statements with its peer group.  In accordance with your request,
we  have  reviewed and discussed with Partnership  officials  the
circumstances and business judgment and planning upon  which  the
decision  to  make  this change in the method of  accounting  was
based.

With    regard   to   the   aforementioned   accounting   change,
authoritative  criteria have not been established for  evaluating
the  preferability  of one acceptable method of  accounting  over
another  acceptable  method.   However,  for  purposes   of   the
Partnership's compliance with the requirements of the  Securities
and Exchange Commission, we are furnishing this letter.

Based on our review and discussion, with reliance on management's
business judgment and planning, we concur that the newly  adopted
method   of   accounting  is  preferable  in  the   Partnerships'
circumstances.

Very truly yours,

KPMG LLP
