                    CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO
          SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002



I, Keith S. Walters, certify that:

1.I  have  reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of  Ennis,
  Inc.;

2.Based  on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not  contain
  any  untrue  statement of a material fact or omit  to  state  a
  material  fact necessary to make the statements made, in  light
  of  the  circumstances under which such statements  were  made,
  not  misleading  with  respect to the period  covered  by  this
  quarterly report;

3.Based  on  my  knowledge, the financial statements,  and  other
  financial  information  included  in  this  quarterly   report,
  fairly   present  in  all  material  respects   the   financial
  condition,  results  of  operations  and  cash  flows  of   the
  registrant  as  of,  and  for, the periods  presented  in  this
  quarterly report;

4.The   registrant's   other  certifying  officer   and   I   are
  responsible   for   establishing  and  maintaining   disclosure
  controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-
  15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  and  internal  control  over  financial
  reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and  15d-
  15(f)) for the registrant and have:

  a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or  caused
     such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
     our   supervision,  to  ensure  that  material   information
     relating  to  the  registrant,  including  its  consolidated
     subsidiaries,  is  made known to us by others  within  those
     entities,  particularly  during the  period  in  which  this
     quarterly report is being prepared;

  b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting,  or
     caused such internal control over financial reporting to  be
     designed   under  our  supervision,  to  provide  reasonable
     assurance  regarding the reliability of financial  reporting
     and   preparation  of  financial  statements  for   external
     purposes  in  accordance with generally accepted  accounting
     principles;

  c) Evaluated    the   effectiveness   of    the    registrant's
     disclosure  controls and procedures and  presented  in  this
     report  our  conclusions  about  the  effectiveness  of  the
     disclosure  controls and procedures, as of the  end  of  the
     period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

  d) Disclosed   in  this  report  any change in the registrant's
     internal  control  over  financial reporting  that  occurred
     during  the  registrant's most recent  fiscal  quarter  (the
     registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of the annual
     report)  that  has  materially affected,  or  is  reasonably
     likely  to  materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal
     control over financial reporting; and

5.The   registrant's  other  certifying  officer   and   I   have
  disclosed,  based  on  our most recent evaluation  of  internal
  control  over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors
  and  the audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or
  persons performing the equivalent function):

  a) All  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses in
     the  design or operation of internal control over  financial
     reporting  which  are reasonably likely to adversely  affect
     the  registrant's ability to record, process, summarize  and
     report financial data; and

  b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
     or  other  employees  who  have a significant  role  in  the
     registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
