This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for March 2009 and the gas production for February 2009, both including postings from the previous month’s production. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 34,942 barrels of oil and 455,901 Mcf of gas. Preliminary average prices are approximately $43.13 per barrel of oil and $3.42 per Mcf of gas. The table below compares this month’s production and prices to the previous month’s:

	Net to Trust Sales
	Volumes				Average Price
					Oil		Gas
	Oil (bbls)		Gas (Mcf)		(per bbl)		(per Mcf)
Current Month		34,942		455,901	$	43.13	$	3.42
Prior Month		40,871		419,302	$	37.68	$	4.76

     Revenues are only posted and distributed when they are received. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25^th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.

     Due to the timing of the end of the month of May, approximately $419,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of June in addition to normal receipts during June. Since the close of business in May and prior to this press release, approximately $725,000 in revenue has been received.

     Effective June 1, 2009, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“AST”) is the new transfer agent and registrar for Sabine Royalty Trust. Unitholders with registered accounts can contact AST with questions relating to transfers of ownership and instruction, change of addresses, direct deposit of distribution checks, and any other account related questions.
