Dallas, Texas, May 4, 2011 — U.S. Trust, as Trustee of the Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE —

$0.34503 per unit, payable on May 31, 2011, to unit holders of record on May 16, 2011. Sabine’s

This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for February 2011 and the gas
production for January 2011. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 33,600 barrels of
oil and 636,248 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $88.85 per barrel of oil and
$4.28 per Mcf of gas.

Revenues are only posted and distributed when they are received. Most energy companies
normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25th 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 April, approximately $232,000 of revenue received
will be posted in the following month of May in addition to normal receipts during May. Since the
close of business in April and prior to this press release, approximately $1,094,000 in revenue has
been received.
Sabine Royalty Trust, as it does after the end of each year, had a year-end Reserve Report
prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s requirements. This report
provides an evaluation of the estimated asset value as of December 31 of each year, which can be
used to estimate the remaining life of the Trust.
The estimated net proved reserves, as of January 1, 2011, attributable to the Trust from the
properties appraised are approximately 5.6 million barrels of oil and 36.9 billion cubic feet of
gas with a future net value of approximately $479,236,000 with a discounted value at 10% of
$227,838,000 with the estimated quantities of this year’s reserve estimate of 5.6 million barrels
of oil and 36.9 billion cubic feet of gas remaining, it could be estimated that the Trust still has
a life span of 8 to 10 years. The report is an exhibit to the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
that was filed on March 1, 2011 and is available to all unitholders at this time on the SEC website
and Sabine’s website.
