No X-ray source is detected at the position of the Type Ia SN 2006X in M100 (IAUC #8667, CBET #393, ATel #726) in a 37.9 ks Chandra ACIS-S X-ray observation from 2006-02-18.72UT. The 3-sigma upper limit to the (0.2-10 keV band) count rate is 4.5E-04 cts/s, corresponding to an unabsorbed X-ray flux and luminosity of 4E-15 ergs/cm/cm/s and 1E38 ergs/s, respectively, for an assumed thermal plasma spectrum with a temperature of 10 keV, an absorbing foreground column density of 2.39E20 cm**-2 (Dickey & Lockman 1990, ARAA 28, 215) and a distance of 17.1 Mpc (Freedman et al.
