Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, on June 6, 2005, ("PNMR" or the "Company") completed the acquisition of TNP Enterprises, Inc. ("TNP").    The purchase price was based on an estimated purchase price in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, by and between PNMR and SW Acquisition, L.P. ("SW Acquisition").  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, PNMR provided SW Acquisition its proposed final purchase price, reflecting a reduction from the estimated purchase price.  SW Acquisition objected to PNMR's proposed final purchase price.    The parties reached a settlement of the lawsuit on November 16, 2005, subject to certain conditions, all of which were satisfied by November 22, 2005.

PNMR issued a press release announcing the significant details of its settlement with SW Acquisition.  The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
