#### Abstract

The object of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds with conservative curvature tensor and also 3-dimensional conformally flat trans-Sasakian manifolds. Next we consider compact connected $\eta$-Einstein 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds. Finally, an example of a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold is given, which verifies our results.

#### Keywords
