Item 1. Business - -----------------
Texland Drilling Program-1981 (a Limited Partnership) was formed on July 20, 1981 with $12,125,000 in aggregate Limited Partnership subscriptions for the purpose of engaging in the exploration for oil and gas. Such exploration has taken place principally in the geological area known as the Texas Permian Basin. The Partnership's drilling and exploration phase is complete. Development of the Partnership's properties is also complete; except for possible occasional developmental drilling which may be undertaken to the extent necessary to insure the maximum commercial recovery of reserves. In 2001, the Partnership drilled 9 such developmental wells.
The Partnership has no plans to borrow funds or reinvest significant amounts of oil and gas revenues. To the extent that in-fill development is deemed advisable, however; such operations will be funded from available cash flow.
See Note 6 of Notes to the Financial Statements on page 17 for information about major purchasers. Sales to such purchasers are on a competitive basis on short-term contracts customarily used in the industry. Should sales to these purchasers become interrupted, management believes alternative purchasers would be immediately available on similar terms.
The price of oil and gas is affected by world wide supply and demand beyond the Partnership's control. The average posted price during the past five years for West Texas Sour (at an assumed gravity of 40 degrees), the primary type of Partnership oil, is as follows:
1997 $16.86 1998 $ 9.88 1999 $14.46 2000 $25.29 2001 $19.16
From January 1, 2002 to March 18, 2002, oil prices of such oil ranged from a low of $10.90 to a high of $18.15.
Item 2
Item 2 - Properties - -------------------
The Partnership currently has an interest in 258 active gross oil and gas wells, representing 17.65 net wells. Two of the gross wells and 0.64 of the net wells are gas wells and the remainder are oil wells.
The Partnership currently has 250 oil wells included in 8 different enhanced recovery projects operated by Texland Petroleum, Inc. Such enhanced recovery projects are designed to pressurize the oil bearing reservoirs and increase the producing rates, property life and overall ultimate recovery of oil.

TEXLAND DRILLING PROGRAM - 1981 SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, -------------------------------
Item 7
Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations. - -------------
Financial Results - -----------------
Oil and gas sales decreased by approximately 11% in 2001 as compared to 2000. The average price of Partnership oil decreased by approximately 24% in 2001. The price of gas sold by the Partnership increased by approximately 29% in 2001. Gas sales represent approximately 20% of 2001 total oil and gas sales. The net change in oil and gas sales is due primarily to such oil and gas price changes in 2001.
Oil and gas sales increased by approximately 49% in 2000 as compared to 1999. The average price of Partnership oil increased by approximately 80% in 2000.
Fees to the managing general partner remained constant over the period 1999 through 2001.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization are calculated on the units-of-production method. Therefore, changes in these amounts are affected by upward or downward revisions in future oil and gas reserve estimates. In addition, such revisions are also caused by changes in current prices of oil and gas, which correspondingly affect the number of future years that oil and gas properties will remain economically viable.
Depreciation and depletion for 2001 is $204,153 as compared to $130,877 for 2000. Changes in depreciation and depletion for the period 1999 through 2001, are due primarily to the effect that changes in oil and gas prices have on the calculation of estimated future economically recoverable oil and gas reserves.
Production expenses increased by 15% in 2001 as compared to 2000 due to an increase in workovers. Production expenses increased by 11% in 2000 as compared to 1999 due to increased production.
Changes in oil prices substantially impact the net income and cash flow of the Partnership. All oil produced by the Partnership is sold under short term contracts that are immediately affected by changes in oil prices. Since 1981, world oil supply and demand conditions have caused prices to rise and decline in an essentially unpredictable manner. No changes in these circumstances are foreseen in the immediate future.
Texland Drilling Program-1981 has substantially completed all the exploration and development on the oil and gas properties in which it has an interest. No long-term debt will be incurred and no new properties will be acquired. Therefore, no future liquidity problems are anticipated by the Partnership.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Texland Drilling Program-1981, Ltd. (the "Partnership") was organized as a limited partnership on July 20, 1981, for the purpose of engaging in oil and gas exploration and production. Texland Properties-1981, a general partnership, and Texland Petroleum, Inc. are the general partners. The managing general partner is Texland Petroleum, Inc. Partnership operations are conducted predominately in West Texas.
The Partnership shall continue in existence, unless terminated sooner through the occurrence of a final terminating event as defined by the Partnership agreement, until December 31, 2006, as extended through approval by the limited partners owning a majority of aggregate Partnership subscriptions.
The Partnership's accounting policies are summarized below:
Basis of Accounting The Partnership maintains its financial records on the income tax basis. The financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The primary differences in accounting methods are identified in Note 7.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment Costs incurred for the acquisition of producing and nonproducing leaseholds are capitalized. Costs of intangible development and lease and well equipment incurred to drill and equip successful exploratory and development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill and equip unsuccessful exploratory wells are charged to operations while costs of unsuccessful development wells remain capitalized. Costs associated with uncompleted wells are capitalized as wells-in-progress.
Nonproducing Leaseholds Costs of nonproducing properties are charged to expense at such time as they are deemed to be impaired, based upon periodic assessments of such costs.
Amortization and Depletion Leasehold costs of producing properties are amortized on the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved oil and gas reserves. Intangible development costs of producing properties are amortized on the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves.
Depreciation Depreciation of equipment is provided by the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves.
