Team, Inc.
200 Hermann Drive
Alvin, Texas 77511

Gentlemen:

         You have requested that we furnish to you our legal opinion with
respect to the legality of 170,000 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. Of the above common stock, 50,000 shares are subject to
issuance pursuant to the exercise of stock purchase options by certain officers
of the Company acquired pursuant to the Team, Inc. Officers Restricted Stock
Option Plan ("Plan"), and a total of 120,000 share are subject to issuance under
the two stock option agreements covered by the subject S-8.

         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, the
two stock option agreements mentioned above, 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, the above stock
option agreements and the above Registration Statement and Prospectus
thereunder, the above 120,000 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.

                                             /s/ BYRON L. WILLEFORD
