PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
| Item 1. | Financial Statements. |
The condensed financial statements included herein are presented, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the trustee believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the trust’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the trustee, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the assets, liabilities and trust corpus of the Cross Timbers Royalty Trust at March 31, 2007, and the distributable income and changes in trust corpus for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, have been included. Distributable income for such interim periods is not necessarily indicative of distributable income for the full year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDEN T REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Bank of America, N.A., as Trustee
for the Cross Timbers Royalty Trust:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed statement of assets, liabilities and trust corpus of the Cross Timbers Royalty Trust as of March 31, 2007 and the related condensed statements of distributable income and changes in trust corpus for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. These condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the trustee.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The accompanying condensed financial statements are prepared on a modified cash basis as described in Note 1 which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the statement of assets, liabilities and trust corpus of the Cross Timbers Royalty Trust as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of distributable income and changes in trust corpus for the year then ended (not presented herein), included in the trust’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our report dated February 28, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed statement of assets, liabilities and trust corpus as of December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the statement of assets, liabilities and trust corpus included in the trust’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K from which it has been derived.

CROSS TIMBERS ROYALTY TRUST
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
| 1. | Basis of Accounting |
The financial statements of Cross Timbers Royalty Trust are prepared on the following basis and are not intended to present financial position and results of operations in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”):
| • | Net profits income recorded for a month is the amount computed and paid by XTO Energy Inc., the owner of the underlying properties, to Bank of America, N.A., as trustee for the trust. Net profits income consists of net proceeds received by XTO Energy from the underlying properties in the prior month, multiplied by net profit percentages of 90% for the 90% net profits interests, and 75% for the 75% net profits interests. |
Costs deducted in the calculation of net proceeds for the 90% net profits interests generally include applicable taxes, transportation, marketing and legal costs, and do not include production expense or development costs. For the 75% net profits interests, costs deducted in the calculation of net proceeds include production expense, development costs, applicable taxes, transportation, marketing and legal costs, operating charges and other costs.
| • | Net profits income is computed separately for each of five conveyances under which the net profits interests were conveyed to the trust. If monthly costs exceed revenues for any conveyance, such excess costs must be recovered, with accrued interest, from future net proceeds of that conveyance and cannot reduce net proceeds from the other conveyances. |
| • | Interest income, interest to be received and distribution payable to unitholders include interest to be earned from the monthly record date (last business day of the month) through the date of the next distribution to unitholders. |
| • | Trust expenses are recorded based on liabilities paid and cash reserves established by the trustee for liabilities and contingencies. |
| • | Distributions to unitholders are recorded when declared by the trustee. |
The financial statements of the trust differ from those prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP because revenues are recognized when received rather than accrued in the month of production, expenses are recognized when paid rather than when incurred, and certain cash reserves may be established for contingencies which would not be accrued under U.S. GAAP. This comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP corresponds to the accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty Trusts.
Most accounting pronouncements apply to entities whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, directing such entities to accrue or defer revenues and expenses in a period other than when such revenues were received or expenses were paid. Because the trust’s financial statements are
9
prepared on the modified cash basis, as described above, most accounting pronouncements are not applicable to the trust’s financial statements.
The initial carrying value of the net profits interests of $61,100,449 represents XTO Energy’s historical net book value on February 12, 1991, the creation date of the trust. Amortization of the net profits interests is calculated on a unit-of-production basis and is charged directly to trust corpus. Accumulated amortization was $41,753,626 as of March 31, 2007 and $41,420,947 of December 31, 2006.
| 2. | Contingencies |
Several states have enacted legislation to require state income tax withholding from nonresident recipients of oil and gas proceeds. After consultation with its state tax counsel, XTO Energy has advised the trustee that it believes the trust is not subject to these withholding requirements. However, regulations are subject to change by the various states, which could change this conclusion. Should the trust be required to withhold state taxes, distributions to the unitholders would be reduced by the required amount, subject to the unitholder’s right to file a state tax return to claim any refund due.
In May 2006, the State of Texas passed legislation to implement a new margin tax of 1% to be imposed on revenues less certain costs, as specified in the legislation, generated from Texas activities beginning in 2007. Entities subject to the tax generally include trusts, unless otherwise exempt, and various other types of entities. Trusts that meet statutory requirements are generally exempt from the margin tax as “passive entities”; however, there is currently no clear authority that the trust meets requirements for the margin tax exemption as a passive entity. Additional legislative action or issuance of applicable administrative rules by the state comptroller may be necessary to determine if the trust is exempt. The trust does not currently intend to pay the margin tax, based on the assumption that it is exempt as a passive entity. However, if it is subsequently determined that the trust is not exempt from the margin tax, the trust would be required to deduct and withhold from future distributions the amounts necessary to pay the margin tax for the entire 2007 year, including the tax liability accruing on income distributed after January 2007 from which no tax was withheld. Approximately 30% of the trust’s net profits income is generated from underlying properties in Texas.
| 3. | Reversion Agreement |
Certain of the properties underlying the 90% net profits interests are subject to a reversion agreement between XTO Energy and an unrelated party. The agreement calls for XTO Energy to transfer 25% of its interest in those properties to the third party when net amounts received by XTO Energy from the properties subject to the agreement equal the purchase price of the properties plus a 1% per month return on the unrecouped purchase price, known as payout. At the time payout occurs and the 25% interest is transferred to the third party, net proceeds payable to the trust and trust distributions to unitholders will be reduced. Based on recent prices and sales volumes, XTO Energy has informed the trustee that payout could occur by the end of 2007, thereafter reducing monthly distributions by approximately 5%. Payout is affected by product prices and the level of development of properties subject to the reversion agreement.

| Item 2. | T rustee’s Discussion and Analysis. |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the trustee’s discussion and analysis contained in the trust’s 2006 annual report, as well as the condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports are available on the trust’s web site at www.crosstimberstrust.com.
Distributable Income
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, net profits income was $4,699,186 compared to $7,149,251 for first quarter 2006. This 34% decrease in net profits income is the result of lower oil and gas prices and decreased oil and gas sales volumes. See “Net Profits Income” below.
After considering interest income of $9,772 and administration expense of $160,508, distributable income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $4,548,450, or $0.758075 per unit of beneficial interest. Administration expense for the quarter increased 42% from the prior year quarter primarily because of costs related to additional unitholder tax reporting. For first quarter 2006, distributable income was $7,051,752, or $1.175292 per unit. Distributions to unitholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were:
| Record Date |
Payment Date |
Distribution per Unit | |||
| January 31, 2007 | February 14, 2007 | $ | 0.225083 | ||
| February 28, 2007 | March 14, 2007 | 0.264859 | |||
| March 30, 2007 | April 16, 2007 | 0.268133 | |||
| $ | 0.758075 | ||||
Net Profits Income
Net profits income is recorded when received by the trust, which is the month following receipt by XTO Energy, and generally two months after oil production and three months after gas production. Net profits income is generally affected by three major factors:
| • | oil and gas sales volumes, |
| • | oil and gas sales prices, and |
| • | costs deducted in the calculation of net profits income. |
Because properties underlying the 90% net profits interests are royalty and overriding royalty interests, the calculation of net profits income from these interests only includes deductions for production and property taxes, legal costs, and marketing and transportation charges. In addition to these costs, the calculation of net profits income from the 75% net profits interests includes deductions for production expense and development costs since the related underlying properties are working interests.

| (a) | Because of the interval between time of production and receipt of royalty income by the trust, oil and gas sales for the quarter ended March 31 generally represent oil production for the period November through January and gas production for the period October through December. |
| (b) | Oil and gas sales volumes are allocated to the net profits interests based upon a formula that considers oil and gas prices and the total amount of production expense and development costs. Changes in any of these factors may result in disproportionate fluctuations in volumes allocated to the net profits interests. Therefore, comparative discussion of oil and gas sales volumes is based on the underlying properties. |
| (c) | Includes an overhead charge which is deducted and retained by XTO Energy. As of March 31, 2007, this charge was $27,844 per month (including a monthly overhead charge of $2,536 which XTO Energy deducts as operator of the Penwell Unit) and is subject to adjustment each May based on an oil and gas industry index. |
12
The following are explanations of significant variances on the underlying properties from first quarter 2006 to first quarter 2007:
Sales Volumes
Oil
Oil sales volumes decreased 6% from first quarter 2006 to first quarter 2007 primarily because of natural production decline, partially offset by the timing of cash receipts and increased production from new wells and workovers.
Gas
Gas sales volumes decreased 24% from first quarter 2006 to first quarter 2007 primarily because of cash receipts from four purchasers during first quarter 2006 related to prior period gas sales from new wells. Excluding the effect of these prior period gas sales, first quarter 2007 gas sales volumes increased approximately 10% primarily because of the timing of cash receipts, partially offset by natural production decline.
Sales Prices
Oil
The first quarter 2007 average oil price was $51.69 per Bbl, a 6% decrease from the first quarter 2006 average price of $54.78 per Bbl. Oil prices decreased from first quarter 2006 to first quarter 2007 primarily because of warmer than normal temperatures in January 2007. With the onset of colder temperatures in February 2007 and rising tension in the Middle East, recent NYMEX oil prices have fluctuated between $60.00 and $66.00 per Bbl. Oil prices are expected to remain volatile. The average NYMEX price for February and March 2007 was $60.15 per Bbl. At April 18, 2007, the average NYMEX futures price for the following twelve months was $67.19 per Bbl. Recent trust oil prices have averaged approximately 12% lower than the NYMEX price.
Gas
The first quarter 2007 average gas price was $7.40 per Mcf, a 20% decrease from the first quarter 2006 average price of $9.29 per Mcf. Gas prices decreased primarily due to the effect of 2005 Gulf of Mexico hurricanes on first quarter 2006 gas prices, versus the absence of 2006 Gulf of Mexico hurricane activity affecting first quarter 2007 gas prices. Much colder temperatures during February 2007 caused prices to increase. Prices will continue to be affected by weather, the U.S. economy, the level of North American production and import levels of liquified natural gas. Natural gas prices are expected to remain volatile. The first quarter 2007 gas price is primarily related to production from October through December 2006, when the average NYMEX price was $6.56. The average NYMEX price for January through March 2007 was $6.77 per MMBtu. At April 18, 2007, the average NYMEX futures price for the following twelve months was $8.49 per MMBtu. Recent trust gas prices have averaged approximately 12% higher than the NYMEX price.
13
Costs
Taxes
Taxes, transportation and other decreased 37% for the first quarter primarily because of lower production taxes related to lower oil and gas revenues and lower property taxes related to the timing of disbursements.
Production Expense
Production expense was 9% lower for the first quarter primarily because of decreased power and fuel, carbon dioxide injection and other costs, as well as the timing of cash disbursements.
Development
Development costs increased 80% for the first quarter primarily because of increased activity and costs related to properties underlying the 75% net profits interests.
State of Texas Margin Tax
In May 2006, the State of Texas passed legislation to implement a new margin tax of 1% to be imposed on revenues less certain costs, as specified in the legislation, generated from Texas activities beginning in 2007. Entities subject to the tax generally include trusts, unless otherwise exempt, and various other types of entities. Trusts that meet statutory requirements are generally exempt from the margin tax as “passive entities”; however, there is currently no clear authority that the trust meets requirements for the margin tax exemption as a passive entity. Additional legislative action or issuance of applicable administrative rules by the state comptroller may be necessary to determine if the trust is exempt. The trust does not currently intend to pay the margin tax, based on the assumption that it is exempt as a passive entity. However, if it is subsequently determined that the trust is not exempt from the margin tax, the trust would be required to deduct and withhold from future distributions the amounts necessary to pay the margin tax for the entire 2007 year, including the tax liability accruing on income distributed after January 2007 from which no tax was withheld. Approximately 30% of the trust’s net profits income is generated from underlying properties in Texas.
If the trust is exempt from the margin tax at the trust level as a passive entity, each unitholder that is a taxable entity would generally include its share of the trust’s revenues in its margin tax computation. If, however, the margin tax is imposed on the trust at the trust level, each unitholder would generally exclude its share of the trust’s net income from the margin tax calculation. Unitholders should consult their tax advisors regarding their individual tax situation.
Reversion Agreement
Certain of the properties underlying the 90% net profits interests are subject to a reversion agreement between XTO Energy and an unrelated party. The agreement calls for XTO Energy to transfer 25% of its interest in those properties to the third party when net amounts received by XTO Energy from the properties subject to the agreement equal the purchase price of the properties plus a 1% per month return on the unrecouped purchase price, known as payout. At the time payout occurs and the 25% interest is transferred to the third party, net proceeds payable to the trust and trust distributions to unitholders will be reduced.
14
Based on recent prices and sales volumes, XTO Energy has informed the trustee that payout could occur by the end of 2007, thereafter reducing monthly distributions by approximately 5%. Payout is affected by product prices and the level of development of properties subject to the reversion agreement.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements regarding the net profits interests, underlying properties, development activities, development, production and other costs and expenses, oil and gas prices and differentials to NYMEX prices, supply shortages, distributions to unitholders, timing of payout under the reversion agreement and industry and market conditions, are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties which are detailed in Part I, Item 1A of the trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. Although XTO Energy and the trustee believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither XTO Energy nor the trustee can give any assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
| Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. |
There have been no material changes in the trust’s market risks, as disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of the trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
| Item 4. | Co ntrols and Procedures. |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the trustee carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the trust’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the trustee concluded that the trust’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting the trustee to material information relating to the trust required to be included in the trust’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, the trustee has relied, to the extent considered reasonable, on information provided by XTO Energy Inc. There has not been any change in the trust’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the trust’s internal control over financial reporting.
