Item 1.	Type of Security.
This Schedule 13D relates to the units representing limited partnership interests (the “Units”) of Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-A, L.P. (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive officers of the Issuer is 6 Desta Drive, Suite 6500, Midland, Texas 79705.

Item 2.	Identity and Background.
The reporting persons filing this Schedule 13D (the “Reporting Persons”) are Southwest Royalties, Inc. (“SWR”) and Clayton Williams Energy, Inc. (“CWEI”). SWR is a Delaware corporation and the address of its principal business and office is 6 Desta Drive, Suite 6500, Midland, Texas 79705. SWR was incorporated to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. CWEI is a Delaware corporation and the address of its principal business and office is 6 Desta Drive, Suite 6500, Midland, Texas 79705. CWEI was incorporated to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The name and principal occupation of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Persons is filed with this Schedule 13D as Schedule A. During the last five years, none of the persons or entities referred to in this Item 2 (including those listed on Schedule A) (1) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (2) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in his being subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The proposed transaction described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference. The Reporting Persons estimate that SWR will require approximately $900,000 in funds to consummate the proposed transaction and pay related fees and expenses. SWR expects to obtain the funds to finance the merger consideration payable pursuant to the proposed transaction from a volumetric production payment (“VPP”) from a third party. The final terms of the VPP will not be determined until immediately prior to the closing of the proposed transaction. The Reporting Persons do not expect the closing of the merger to be conditioned on SWR receiving proceeds from the VPP or any other financing condition.

Item 4.	Purpose of the Transaction.
SWR and the Issuer expect to enter into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) promptly after SWR has cleared SEC staff comments to the proxy statement referred to below. If (1) the limited partners of the Issuer who own more than 50 percent of all Units approve the Merger Agreement, the Merger (as defined below) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (2) the limited partners of the Issuer, other than SWR, (the “Investors”) who own more than 50 percent of the Units owned by all Investors present in person or by proxy at the special meeting vote their Units to

CUSIP No. Not Applicable

approve the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (3) the other conditions to the Merger are satisfied or waived, the Issuer will merge with and into SWR, with SWR continuing as the surviving entity (such transaction, the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, all of the Units, other than those held by SWR, will be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $ per unit, less the amount of per unit cash distributions made after September 30, 2011, if any. SWR will not receive any cash payment for its partnership interest in the Issuer. However, as a result of the Merger, SWR will acquire 100% of the assets and liabilities of the Issuer. Upon completion of the Merger, SWR intends to terminate the registration of the Units under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the Issuer’s obligations to file reports and other information under the Exchange Act. On September 9, 2011, SWR, as the general partner of the Issuer, filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act relating to the special meeting of limited partners of the Issuer at which the limited partners of the Issuer will consider and vote upon proposals to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. If the Merger is not completed for any reason, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Units from Investors. From time to time, an Investor may desire to sell his or her Units and will offer the Units to SWR. In these cases, SWR may, but will be under no obligation to, agree to repurchase the Units on terms and conditions established by SWR, in its sole and absolute discretion, and acceptable to the Investor.

Item 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
SWR, which is the general partner of the Issuer, holds a total of 833.25 Units over which it has sole voting and dispositive powers. These Units represent 7.9% of the total 10,484 Units which are issued and outstanding. CWEI is the sole parent company of SWR.

Item 6.	Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Not applicable.

Item 7.	Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
Not applicable.

CUSIP No. Not Applicable
