Item 5.02        Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

Departure of  Chief  Financial Officer.  On August 8, 2005, John Loyack, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of PNM Resources, Inc. (the "Company"), resigned from that position to pursue other interests in his home state of Pennsylvania.  Mr. Loyack did not resign as a result of any disagreement with the operations, policies or practices of the Company. He continued as Chief Financial Officer through August 9, 2005, and will continue as a Senior Vice President of the Company until September 1, 2005.

            Appointment of Acting Chief Financial Officer.  The Board of Directors appointed Terry Horn to be the acting Chief Financial Officer effective August 10, 2005, pending a national search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer.  Mr. Horn's title will be Vice President, Corporate Secretary and Acting Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Horn, 53, was Vice President and Treasurer of Public Service Company of New Mexico ("PNM") and the Company since 1998 and 2001, respectively.  He became Corporate Secretary of the Company in May 2005, and continued as Treasurer until July 27, 2005, when a new Treasurer was named.  Mr. Horn has more than 20 years of experience in directing the financing activities of PNM and the Company.

There is no employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Horn.  The material terms of the arrangements with Mr. Horn are that he will be the acting Chief Financial Officer until a permanent Chief Financial Officer is selected after a national search.  His base salary is being increased to compensate him for the additional duties he will have, but it is not anticipated that he will be a "named executive officer" under the SEC's proxy rules.

On August 8, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing the above changes.  The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

It is anticipated that Mr. Horn will also become the acting Chief Financial Officer, replacing Mr. Loyack, for the other registrants in the consolidated PNM Resources, Inc. group, Public Service Company of New Mexico, TNP Enterprises, Inc. and Texas-New Mexico Power Company.
