FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUSTIN, TEXAS (March 24, 2006) -- LL&E Royalty Trust (NYSE SYMBOL-LRT)
announced today there will be no Trust income distribution for the month of
April 2006 for Unitholders of record on April 5, 2006. This release relates to
production for the month of January 2006.

As more fully described in the Trust's periodic reports filed with the SEC, the
Trust Agreement and the related Partnership Agreement provide that, under
certain circumstances, the Trustee may establish cash contingency reserves for
the payment of claims that are likely to be asserted against the Trust. With
certain exceptions, any such reserves are required to be deposited in
non-interest bearing accounts.

As more fully described in the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005,, it appears highly likely that distributions to the
Trust will be reduced significantly for a period of time as a result of the
damage from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to production facilities for properties
in which the Trust has an interest. In light of this, the Trustee determined to
reserve an additional $38,157, which would have otherwise been distributed to
the unitholders on April 5, 2006, for the payment of the Trust's likely general
and administrative expenses in the foreseeable future. As of March 24, 2006 the
gross cumulative amount reserved is $1,198,457; net of Trust expense of
$469,593, the reserve amount is $728,864. The Trustee intends to hold these
funds for use in the payment of Trust expenses until it becomes reasonably
clear that they are no longer necessary.

As more fully described in the Annual Report, the Working Interest Owner
("Owner"), under the terms of the Trust Conveyances, is permitted to escrow
funds for estimated future costs such as dismantlement costs and capital
expenditures for the properties in which the Trust has an interest (Special
Cost Escrow). Based on preliminary cost estimates and the most recent reserve
report, the Owner believes that the amounts currently held in escrow are
significantly less than the anticipated future amounts attributable to the
Trust's share of costs. Consequently, the Owner has informed the Trust that,
beginning with the April 2006 monthly distribution, the Owner plans to escrow
for the foreseeable future all proceeds that would otherwise be distributed
from the South Pass 89 and Offshore Louisiana properties. As more fully
described in the Trust's Annual Report, the actual amounts of certain of these
costs, including those affecting East Cameron 195, which is included in the
Offshore Louisiana properties, appear likely to be substantially increased over
those previously estimated as a result of damage caused by the 2005 hurricanes.
The Owner intends to continue to monitor each of the properties in which the
Trust has an interest for possible changes in relevant factors.



The $469,593 that the Trustee is reserving for the month of January does not
include any proceeds from the Jay Field or South Pass properties due to excess
production costs. Excess production costs to be recouped from future proceeds
at the Jay Field and South Pass properties totaled $1,720,976 and $35,765
respectively.

Gross Proceeds prior to deductions for Production Costs for the month of
January 2006 by property are as follows: $2,022,556 for Jay Field property, $0
for South Pass 89 property, and $0 for Offshore Louisiana property.

Production Costs for the month of January 2006 by property are as follows:
$3,743,531 for Jay Field property, $35,765 for South Pass 89 property and
($24,288) for Offshore Louisiana property.

There was $303,986 deducted from the Special Cost Escrow in January 2006 from
the Offshore Louisiana Property. Fee Lands Royalties for the month of January
2006 totaled $16,298. Trust related expenses for the month of January 2006
totaled $60,551.

The Gross Proceeds, Production Costs and Special Cost Escrow numbers stated
above relate to each property as a whole. The Trust's interest in these
properties is 50% for Jay Field, 50% for South Pass 89 and 90% for Offshore
Louisiana.

The extent of future distributions from the properties in which the Trust has
an interest will continue to be dependent on normal factors associated with oil
and gas operations such as oil and gas production levels, prices and associated
cost, timing and extent of capital expenditures. In addition, the amount of
future distributions will depend on the amounts escrowed by the Working
Interest Owner as described above.
