HUGOTON ROYALTY TRUST

DECLARES FEBRUARY CASH DISTRIBUTION

 Dallas, Texas, February 16, 2007 - Bank of America, N.A., as Trustee of the Hugoton Royalty Trust (NYSE - HGT), today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.169036 per unit, payable on March 14, 2007, to unitholders of record on February 28, 2007.  The following table shows underlying gas sales and average prices attributable to the current month and prior month distributions.  Underlying gas sales volumes attributable to the current month distribution were primarily produced in December. 

	Underlying Gas Sales Volumes (Mcf) (a)
		Total	Daily	Average Gas Price per Mcf
Current Month Distribution		2,399,000	77,000	$   6.34
Prior Month Distribution		2,383,000	79,000	$   6.25

(a)   Sales volumes are recorded in the month the trust receives the related net profits income.  Because of this, sales volumes may fluctuate from month to month based on the timing of cash receipts.

 XTO Energy has advised the trustee that daily underlying gas sales volumes attributable to the current month distribution were lower because of weather related production problems in Oklahoma. Based on available January 2007 production information, XTO Energy has advised the trustee that gas sales volumes related to the March 2007 distribution may further decline because of weather related problems.

 XTO Energy deducted budgeted development costs of $3,750,000, production expense of $1,639,000 and overhead of $761,000 in determining the royalty payment to the Trust for the month of February.

Development Costs

 XTO Energy has advised the trustee that it decreased the monthly development cost deduction from $5,000,000 to $3,750,000 beginning with the February 2007 distribution. This monthly deduction is based on the current level of development expenditures and the development cost budget for calendar year 2007 and will continue to be evaluated and revised as necessary.
