DALLAS, July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE: PBT) ("Permian") today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $.148472 per unit, payable on August 12, 2011, to unit holders of record on July 29, 2011.

This month's distribution increased from the previous month due primarily to increased production. This would primarily reflect production for the month of May. The worldwide market conditions continue to affect the pricing for domestic production. It is difficult to predict what effect these conditions will have on future distributions.

The average price for oil was $96.42 per bbl and for gas was $8.37 per Mcf. Capital expenditures were approximately $460,178. The numbers provided reflect what was net to the Trust.
