DALLAS, Nov. 19, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE: PBT) ("Permian") today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $.097736 per unit, payable on December 14, 2010, to unit holders of record on November 30, 2010. Permian's cash distribution history, current and prior year financial reports and tax information booklets, a link to filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and more can be found on its website at http://www.pbt-permianbasintrust.com/.

This month's distribution decreased slightly from the previous month due primarily to a decrease in both oil and gas production due to a temporary shut down on the Waddell Ranch because of an electrical storm. This would primarily reflect production for the month of September. 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.

Production for Waddell Ranch and the Texas Royalty Properties combined for oil and gas respectively was 46,889 bbls and 198,553 Mcf. The average price for oil was $71.77 per bbl and for gas was $6.34 per Mcf. Capital expenditures were approximately $488,000. The numbers provided reflect what was net to the Trust.
