                      Notes to Financial Statements

1.   Organization
     Southwest  Royalties Institutional Income Fund X-C, L.P. was organized
     under the laws of the state of Delaware on September 20, 1991, for the
     purpose  of acquiring producing oil and gas properties and to  produce
     and market crude oil and natural gas produced from such properties for
     a  term  of 50 years, unless terminated at an earlier date as provided
     for  in the Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership sells its oil  and
     gas production to several purchasers with the prices it receives being
     dependent upon the oil and gas economy.  Southwest Royalties, Inc.,  a
     wholly  owned subsidiary of Clayton Williams Energy, Inc.,  serves  as
     the  Managing  General  Partner.  Revenues,  costs  and  expenses  are
     allocated as follows:

                              Limited   General

          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 3%  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
     The  interim  financial information as of June 30, 2005, and  for  the
     three  and  six  months  ended June 30, 2005, is  unaudited.   Certain
     information  and footnote disclosures normally included  in  financial
     statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting
     principles  have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q  pursuant
     to   the   rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
     Commission.   However,  in  the opinion of management,  these  interim
     financial  statements include all the necessary adjustments to  fairly
     present  the  results of the interim periods and all such  adjustments
     are  of  a normal recurring nature. The interim consolidated financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's Annual
     Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

     In September 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
     Accounting  Bulletin No. 106 ("SAB 106"). SAB 106  expresses  the  SEC
     staff's views regarding SFAS No. 143 and its impact on both the  full-
     cost  ceiling  test  and  the calculation of  depletion  expense.   In
     accordance  with  SAB  106, beginning in the first  quarter  of  2005,
     undiscounted abandonment costs for wells to be drilled in  the  future
     to develop proved reserves are included in the unamortized cost of oil
     and  gas  properties, net of related salvage value,  for  purposes  of
     computing  depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization  ("DD&A").  The
     implementation  of  SAB  106 did not have a  material  impact  on  our
     financial statements.

                      Notes to Financial Statements

3.   Discontinued Operations - Sale of oil and gas leases
     During 2003, the Partnership sold its interest in certain oil and  gas
     wells  for  $81,184  sales  proceeds and  retired  $100,007  of  asset
     retirement  obligation  associated with  the  properties.   Since  the
     Partnership  is  under the full cost pool method  of  accounting,  the
     sales  proceeds and asset retirement obligation liability  were  taken
     against  the  oil and gas properties asset account and  therefore,  no
     gain or loss was recorded and shown on the statement of operations  as
     part  of  the  discontinued operations. Operating  expenses  for  2004
     represent  plugging  and abandonment costs that  the  Partnership  was
     contractually committed to perform prior to the sale of the  property.
     Plugging  and abandonment services were performed during  the  quarter
     ended  March 31, 2004.  Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS No.  144,
     the  operating  results from these properties have  been  reported  as
     discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.

     The   following   table   summarizes  certain   historical   operating
     information related to the discontinued operations:

Item 2.                                Management's Discussion and Analysis
          of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund X-C, L.P. was organized as  a
Delaware limited partnership on September 20, 1991.  The offering  of  such
limited  partnership interests began October 1, 1991 as  part  of  a  shelf
offering registered under the name Southwest Royalties Institutional  1990-
91  Income Program.  Minimum capital requirements for the Partnership  were
met on January 28, 1992, with the offering of limited partnership interests
concluding April 30, 1992.

The Partnership was formed to acquire royalty and net profits interests  in
producing  oil  and  gas properties, to produce and market  crude  oil  and
natural  gas  produced  from such properties, and  to  distribute  the  net
proceeds from operations to the limited and general partners.  Net revenues
from  producing  oil  and gas properties will not be  reinvested  in  other
revenue  producing  assets except to the extent that production  facilities
and wells are improved or reworked or where methods are employed to improve
or  enable  more efficient recovery of oil and gas reserves.  The  economic
life  of  the  Partnership  thus  depends on  the  period  over  which  the
Partnership's oil and gas reserves are economically recoverable.

Increases   or   decreases   in  Partnership   revenues   and,   therefore,
distributions  to partners will depend primarily on changes in  the  prices
received  for  production,  changes in volumes of  production  sold,  lease
operating  expenses, enhanced recovery projects, offset drilling activities
pursuant  to farm-out arrangements, sales of properties, and the  depletion
of  wells.   Since  wells deplete over time, production  can  generally  be
expected to decline from year to year.

Well  operating costs and general and administrative costs usually decrease
with   production   declines;  however,  these  costs  may   not   decrease
proportionately.  Net income available for distribution to the partners  is
therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these factors.

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
sold.

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.  As of June 30, 2005, the net capitalized costs  did  not
exceed the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves.
..

<PAGE>
The  Partnership's  interest  in oil and gas  properties  consists  of  net
profits  interests  in  proved properties located  within  the  continental
United  States.   A net profits interest is created when  the  owner  of  a
working  interest in a property enters into an arrangement  providing  that
the  net profits interest owner will receive a stated percentage of the net
profit  from  the  property.   The  net profits  interest  owner  will  not
otherwise participate in additional costs and expenses of the property.

The  Partnership recognizes income from its net profits interest in oil and
gas property on an accrual basis, while the quarterly cash distributions of
the net profits interest are based on a calculation of actual cash received
from  oil  and  gas sales, net of expenses incurred during  that  quarterly
period.   If  the  net  profits interest calculation  results  in  expenses
incurred  exceeding the oil and gas income received during  a  quarter,  no
cash  distribution is due to the Partnership's net profits  interest  until
the  deficit is recovered from future net profits.  The Partnership accrues
a quarterly loss on its net profits interest provided there is a cumulative
net  amount  due for accrued revenue as of the balance sheet date.   As  of
June  30,  2005,  there were no timing differences,  which  resulted  in  a
deficit net profit interest.

Critical Accounting Policies

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  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 depletion, depreciation, and amortization
("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.

Income from net profits

The  Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to  $102,916
from  $68,364  for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively,
an  increase of 51%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership increased
during  the  quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the  quarter  ended
June  30,  2004 by 42%, or $14.64 per barrel, resulting in an  increase  of
approximately  $74,300  in income from net profits  interests.   Oil  sales
represented 94% of total oil and gas sales during the quarters  ended  June
30, 2005 as compared to 88% during the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

The  average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership  increased
during  the same period by 52%, or $2.40 per mcf, resulting in an  increase
of approximately $5,900 in income from net profits interests.

The  total increase in income from net profits interests due to the  change
in  prices  received from oil and gas production is approximately  $80,200.
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>
Oil  production  decreased  approximately 749 barrels  or  13%  during  the
quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2004,
resulting in a decrease of approximately $26,100 in income from net profits
interests.

Gas  production  decreased approximately 3,267 mcf or 57% during  the  same
period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $15,000 in income from net
profits interests.

The  total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the  change
in  production  is approximately $41,100.  The decrease in oil  volumes  is
from  a  production decline on an oil property.  The decline in gas volumes
is from a gas well with lower production due to down hole problems.

Lease operating costs and production taxes were 3% higher, or approximately
$4,600  more  during  the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as  compared  to  the
quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $24,671 from $32,413 for the quarters
ended  June  30,  2005  and 2004, respectively, a  decrease  of  24%.   The
decrease  is  the  result  of  lower general  and  administrative  expense,
depletion expense and accretion expense.

General  and  administrative costs consists of independent  accounting  and
engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General  Partner
personnel  costs.   General  and  administrative  costs  decreased  9%   or
approximately $1,300 during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared  to
the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Depletion expense decreased to $1,477 for the quarter ended June  30,  2005
from  $3,000  for the same period in 2004.  This represents a  decrease  of
51%.   The contributing factor to the decrease in depletion expense  is  in
relation  to  the BOE depletion rate for the quarter ended June  30,  2005,
which  was $.27 applied to 5,485 BOE as compared to $.44 applied  to  6,778
BOE  for  the same period in 2004.  The lower depreciation rate in 2005  is
due  to the upward revision in reserve estimates resulting from higher  oil
and gas prices.

Accretion expense decreased to $9,907 for the quarter ended June  30,  2005
from  $14,817 for the same period in 2004.  This represents a  decrease  of
33%.  The decrease in accretion is from discontinuing accretion on  several
wells that reached their projected end of life in 2004.

Income from net profits

The  Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to  $221,178
from   $159,588  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2005  and   2004,
respectively,  an  increase of 39%.  The principal  factors  affecting  the
comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership increased
during  the  six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the  six  months
ended  June 30, 2004 by 47%, or $15.60 per barrel, resulting in an increase
of  approximately $167,600 in income from net profits interests.  Oil sales
represented 95% of total oil and gas sales during the six months ended June
30, 2005 as compared to 88% during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

The  average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership  increased
during the same period by 21%, or $.96 per mcf, resulting in an increase of
approximately $4,600 in income from net profits interests.

The  total increase in income from net profits interests due to the  change
in  prices  received from oil and gas production is approximately $172,200.
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>
Oil  production  decreased approximately 789 barrels or 7% during  the  six
months  ended  June 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended  June  30,
2004,  resulting in a decrease of approximately $26,000 in income from  net
profits interests.

Gas  production  decreased approximately 6,706 mcf or 58% during  the  same
period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $30,700 in income from net
profits interests.

The  total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the  change
in production is approximately $56,700.  The decline in gas volumes is from
a gas well with lower production due to down hole problems.

Lease   operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were   20%   higher,   or
approximately  $54,000 more during the six months ended June  30,  2005  as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004.  The higher lease operating
costs are from well repair work on a property.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and expenses decreased to $49,213 from $62,799  for  the  six
months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, a decrease of 22%.   The
decrease  is  the  result  of  lower general  and  administrative  expense,
depletion expense and accretion expense.

General  and  administrative costs consists of independent  accounting  and
engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General  Partner
personnel  costs.   General  and  administrative  costs  decreased  3%   or
approximately $900 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Depletion  expense decreased to $3,137 for the six months  ended  June  30,
2005  from $6,000 for the same period in 2004.  This represents a  decrease
of 48%.  The contributing factor to the decrease in depletion expense is in
relation to the BOE depletion rate for the six months ended June 30,  2005,
which  was $.27 applied to 11,548 BOE as compared to $.45 applied to 13,455
BOE  for  the same period in 2004.  The lower depreciation rate in 2005  is
due  to the upward revision in reserve estimates resulting from higher  oil
and gas prices.

Accretion  expense decreased to $19,813 for the six months ended  June  30,
2005  from $29,634 for the same period in 2004.  This represents a decrease
of  33%.   The  decrease  in accretion is from discontinuing  accretion  on
several wells that reached their projected end of life in 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income  from
interests in oil and gas properties.  The Partnership knows of no  material
change, nor does it anticipate any such change.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $192,000  in
the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to approximately $76,200  in
the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $199,800 in  the
six  months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to approximately $69,900 in the
six  months  ended June 30, 2004. The only use in financing activities  was
the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $200,000
of which $180,000 ($30.09 per unit) was distributed to the limited partners
and  $20,000 to the general partners.  Total distributions during  the  six
months ended June 30, 2004 were $70,000 of which $63,000 ($10.53 per  unit)
was distributed to the limited partners and $7,000 to the general partners.

The  sources  for  the  2005 distributions of $200,000  were  oil  and  gas
operations of approximately $192,000, with the balance from available  cash
on  hand  at  the  beginning  of the period.   The  sources  for  the  2004
distributions  of  $70,000  were oil and gas  operations  of  approximately
$76,200,   resulting  in  excess  cash  for  contingencies  or   subsequent
distributions.

Cumulative cash distributions of $3,884,061 have been made to the partners.
As  of  June 30, 2005, $3,513,142 or $587.19 per limited partner  unit  has
been   distributed  to  the  limited  partners,  representing  a  117%   of
contributed capital.

As  of June 30, 2005, the Partnership had approximately $135,600 in working
capital.   The  Managing  General Partner knows of no  unusual  contractual
commitments.  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.<PAGE>
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In  December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement   of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  153  "Exchanges   of
Nonmonetary  Assets,  an amendment of APB Opinion  No.  29"  ("SFAS  153").
SFAS  153  specifies  the criteria required to record a  nonmonetary  asset
exchange  using  carryover  basis.  SFAS 153 is effective  for  nonmonetary
asset  exchanges occurring after July 1, 2005.  The Partnership will  adopt
this statement in the third quarter of 2005, and it is not expected to have
a material effect on the financial statements when adopted.

In  September  2004,  the Securities and Exchange Commission  issued  Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 106 ("SAB 106"). SAB 106 expresses the SEC  staff's
views  regarding SFAS No. 143 and its impact on both the full-cost  ceiling
test and the calculation of depletion expense.  In accordance with SAB 106,
beginning in the first quarter of 2005, undiscounted abandonment costs  for
wells  to  be drilled in the future to develop proved reserves are included
in  the  unamortized cost of oil and gas properties, net of related salvage
value,  for  purposes of computing depreciation, depletion and amortization
("DD&A").  The implementation of SAB 106 did not have a material impact  on
our financial statements.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Partnership is not a party to any derivative
or embedded derivative instruments.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

The  Managing  General  Partner  has established  disclosure  controls  and
procedures   that  are  adequate  to  provide  reasonable  assurance   that
management will be able to collect, process and disclose both financial and
non-financial information, on a timely basis, in the Partnership's  reports
to  the  SEC.   Disclosure controls and procedures  include  all  processes
necessary  to  ensure  that material information  is  recorded,  processed,
summarized  and  reported within the time periods specified  in  the  SEC's
rules  and  forms,  and  is  accumulated and  communicated  to  management,
including our chief executive and chief financial officers, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.

     With respect to these disclosure controls and procedures:

          management  has  evaluated the effectiveness  of  the  disclosure
          controls  and procedures as of the end of the period  covered  by
          this report;

          this evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with  the
          participation  of management, including the chief  executive  and
          chief financial officers of the Managing General Partner; and

          it  is  the  conclusion of chief executive  and  chief  financial
          officers  of  the Managing General Partner that these  disclosure
          controls   and   procedures  are  effective  in   ensuring   that
          information  that is required to be disclosed by the  Partnership
          in   reports  filed  or  submitted  with  the  SEC  is  recorded,
          processed,  summarized  and  reported  within  the  time  periods
          specified in the rules and forms established by the SEC.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There  has  not been any change in the Partnership's internal control  over
financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2005
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
its internal control over financial reporting.
