TEXAS PACIFIC LAND TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
(1) In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Texas
Pacific Land Trust (the "Trust") as of March 31, 2003 and the results
of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002
and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. These financial statements and footnotes included herein
should be read in conjunction with the Trust's annual financial
statements as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for each of the years
in the three year period ended December 31, 2002 included in the
Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2002.
(2) No value is assigned to the land, unless acquired through foreclosure;
consequently, no allowance for depletion is computed, and no charge to
income is made therefor, and no cost is deducted from the proceeds of
the land sales in computing gain or loss thereon.
(3) The Sub-shares and the Certificates of Proprietary Interest are freely
interchangeable in the ratio of one Certificate of Proprietary Interest
for 600 Sub-shares or 600 Sub-shares for one Certificate of Proprietary
Interest.
(4) The Trust's effective Federal income tax rate is less than the 34%
statutory rate because taxable income is reduced by statutory
percentage depletion allowed on mineral royalty income.
(5) The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.
(6) Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested primarily in overnight
investments in loan participation instruments with maturities of ninety
days or less. Such investments are deemed to be highly liquid debt
instruments for purposes of the statements of cash flows.
Supplemental cash flow information for the three months ended March 31,
2003 and 2002 is summarized as follows:
2003 2002

Federal income taxes paid $ 135,767 $ --

(7) SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" establishes standards for the way public business
enterprises are to report information about operating segments. SFAS
No. 131 utilizes the management approach as a basis for identifying
reportable segments. The management approach is based on the way that
management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making
operating decisions and assessing performance. The Trust's management
views its operations as one segment and believes the only significant
activity is managing the land which was conveyed to the Trust in 1888.
Trust management makes decisions about resource allocation and
performance assessment based on the same financial information
presented in these financial statements. Managing the land includes
sales and leases of such land, and the retention of oil and gas
royalties.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the
Financial Statements, including the Notes thereto, and the other financial
information appearing elsewhere in this Report. Period-to-period comparisons of
financial data are not necessarily indicative, and therefore should not be
relied upon as indicators, of the Trust's future performance. Words or phrases
such as "does not believe" and "believes", or similar expressions, when used in
this Form 10-Q or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, are
intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED
MARCH 31, 2002
Earnings per sub-share certificate were $.38 for the first quarter of
2003 compared to $.30 for the first quarter of 2002. Total revenues were
$1,815,197 compared to $1,522,644, an increase of 19.2%.
The Trust sold 1,233.70 acres of land for an aggregate of $61,685 ($50
per acre) in the first quarter of 2003. This compares to 2,980.86 acres at
$65.00 per acre, for a total of $193,756, in the first quarter of 2002.
Land sales may vary widely from year to year and quarter to quarter.
The total dollar amount, the average price per acre, and the number of acres
sold in any one year or quarter should not be assumed to be indicative of land
sales in the future. The Trust is a passive seller of land and does not actively
solicit sales of land. The demand for, and the sales price of, any particular
tract of the Trust's land is influenced by many factors, including, the national
and local economies, the rate of residential and commercial development in
nearby areas, livestock carrying capacity, and the condition of the local
agricultural industry, which itself is influenced by range conditions and prices
for livestock and other agricultural products. Approximately 99% of the Trust's
land is classified as ranch land and intermingled with other ownerships to form
ranching units. Ranch land sales are, therefore, largely dependent on the
actions of the adjoining landowners.
Rentals, royalties and sundry income were $1,500,526 for the first
quarter of 2003 compared to $1,079,512 in the first quarter of 2002, an increase
of 39.0%. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in oil and gas
royalty revenue.
Oil and gas royalty revenue was $1,209,021, up 73.1% compared to the
first quarter of 2002. Oil royalty revenue was $799,526, up 68.7% compared to
2002. Crude oil production subject to the Trust's royalty interest was down 1.6%
for the first quarter and the average price per royalty barrel was up 71.5%
compared to the comparable period of 2002. Gas royalty revenue was $409,495 in
the first quarter, up 82.5% on a volume increase of 2.5% and price increase of
77.9% from first quarter 2002 levels.
Easement and sundry income was $204,252 down 30.2% from the first
quarter of 2002. This is not a preditable source of income and amounts vary
greatly in any one reporting period.
Interest revenue increased 1.4% in the first quarter of 2003 compared
to 2002. Interest from notes receivable was $239,786, up 2.6% from the first
quarter of 2002. Notes receivable were $10,669,464 as of March 31, 2003, down
10.5% from December 31, 2002. Sundry interest was $13,200, down 15.5% from the
first quarter of 2002.
Taxes, other than Federal income taxes were up 27.9%. This increase is
primarily attributable to an increase in oil and gas production taxes. The
increase in oil and gas production taxes, in turn, resulted from the increased
oil and gas royalty income occasioned by the higher oil and gas prices
prevailing during the quarter.
6
General and administrative expenses increased 9.6% compared to the
first quarter of 2002, due mainly to legal expense pertaining to listing and SEC
reporting rules.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Trust's principal sources of liquidity are its revenues from oil
and gas royalties, lease rentals and receipts of interest and principal payments
on the notes receivable arising from its sales of land. In the past these
sources have generated more than adequate amounts of cash to meet the Trust's
needs and, in the opinion of management, should continue to do so in the
foreseeable future.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the information related to
market risk of the Trust since December 31, 2002.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, Texas Pacific Land
Trust carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Trust's management, including Roy Thomas, the Trust's Chief
Executive Officer and David M. Peterson, the Trust's Chief Financial Officer, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Trust's disclosure controls
and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation,
Mr. Thomas and Mr. Peterson concluded that the Texas Pacific Land Trust's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to the Trust required to be included in Texas
Pacific Land Trust's periodic SEC filings.
There were no significant changes made in the Trust's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of their evaluation.
