Gentlemen:

         You have requested that we furnish to you our legal opinion with
respect to the legality of 400,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.30 per
share, of Team, Inc. (the "Company") covered by a Form S-8 Registration
Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company near
the date hereof, for the purpose of registering the above common stock under the
Securities Act of 1933. The above shares of common stock are subject to issuance
to employees of the Company pursuant to the Team, Inc. Salary Deferral Plan
("Plan").

         We are furnishing in this letter our legal opinion concerning the
above. In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended, of the Company, the Plan,
applicable Board of Directors resolutions of the Company, the above Registration
Statement, the applicable statutes of the State of Texas, and such other
documents and records which we deemed relevant in order to render this opinion.

         Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

         1. The Company was duly and validly organized and is validly existing
in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Texas.

         2. When sold and issued in accordance with the Plan and the above
Registration Statement and Prospectus thereunder, the above 400,000 shares of
the Company's common stock will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
above Registration Statement and to the use of our name wherever it appears
therein.

                                              Very truly yours,

                                              CHAMBERLAIN, HRDLICKA, WHITE,
                                                WILLIAMS & MARTIN, P.C.
