                           PERMIAN BASIN ROYALTY TRUST
                       ANNOUNCES AUGUST CASH DISTRIBUTION


         DALLAS, TEXAS, AUGUST 19, 2003 - Bank of America, N.A., as Trustee of
the Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE - PBT), today declared a cash distribution
to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.061834 per unit,
payable on September 15, 2003, to unit holders of record on August 29, 2003.

         This month's distribution increased from the previous month primarily
due to higher production of gas and a higher price for gas. Production for
Waddell Ranch and the Texas Royalty Properties combined for oil and gas
respectively was 58,900 bbls and 276,696 mcf. The average price for oil was
$28.77 per bbl and for gas was $4.93 per mcf. This would primarily reflect
production for the month of June. Capital expenditures were approximately
$407,377. These numbers provided reflect what was net to the Trust.
