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

General

Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund XI-A, L.P. (the "Partnership"
or "Registrant") was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on May 5,
1992.  The offering of such limited partnership interests began August 20,
1992, as part of a shelf offering registered under the name Southwest
Royalties Institutional 1992-93 Income Program.  Minimum capital requirements
for the Partnership were met on December 10, 1992, with the offering of
limited partnership interests concluding April 30, 1993.  At the conclusion
of the offering of limited partnership interests, 217 limited partners had
purchased 5,418 units for $2,709,000.

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.

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.

Revenues

The Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to $132,430
from $68,389 for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an
increase of 94%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the
    quarter ended March 31, 1995 by 6%, or $.96 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $4,400 in income from net profits interests. 
    Oil sales represented 50% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter
    ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 46% during the quarter ended March
    31, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 23%, or $.37 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $20,900 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 $25,300. 
    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 increased approximately 1,800 barrels or 39% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $32,000 in income from
    net profits interests.



    Gas production increased approximately 600 mcf or 1% during the same
    period, resulting in an increase of approximately $1,200 in income from
    net profits interests.

    The total increase in income from net profits interests due to the change
    in production is approximately $33,200.  The increase is a result of an
    acquisition with an effective date of June 1995.

3.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 6% lower, or
    approximately $5,700 less during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $79,220 from $69,678 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 14%.  The
increase is the result of higher general and administrative expense and
depletion expense.

1.  General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs increased 3%
    or approximately $500 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared
    to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  

2.  Depletion expense increased to $60,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1996 from $51,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents an
    increase of 18%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross 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.  Consequently, depletion
    will generally fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas revenues.  As
    noted above, oil and gas revenues increased due to an increase in price
    and production for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the
    same period for 1995.  Depletion reflected a comparable increase.

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 $90,900 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $57,400 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995.  The primary source of the 1996 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used in investing activities were none in the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $22,900 in the three months ended
March 31, 1995.  



Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $106,500 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $19,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995.  The only use in financing activities was
the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the three months ended March 31, 1996 were
$106,500 of which $95,850 was distributed to the limited partners and $10,650
to the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners
during the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $17.69.  Total distributions
during the three months ended March 31, 1995 were $18,805 of which $17,205
was distributed to the limited partners and $1,600 to the general partners. 
The per unit distribution to limited partners during the three months ended
March 31, 1995 was $3.18.  

The source for the 1996 distributions of $106,500 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $90,900, with the balance from available cash on hand at the
beginning of the period.  The sources for the 1995 distributions of $18,805
were oil and gas operations of approximately $57,400 and the sale of oil and
gas properties of approximately $4,000, offset by additions to oil and gas
properties of approximately $27,000, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$643,207 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1996, $589,657 or
$108.83 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 22% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $157,900 in working
capital.  The Managing General Partner knows of no unusual contractual
commitments and believes the revenues generated from operations are adequate
to meet the needs of the Partnership.
