         Re:  Form S-8 Registration Statement; Opinion of Counsel

Dear Members of the Board:

We have represented Eagle Broadband, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Company"),
in connection with the preparation of the Company's registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 ("Registration
Statement") in connection with the registration of 2,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, $.001 par value (the "Shares"), to be offered pursuant
to the Company's 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Stock Plan").

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement,
the Stock Plan, and such other documents, records, certificates, memoranda and
other instruments as we deemed necessary for the basis of this opinion. We have
assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as
copies and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution
and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion
that the Shares, when issued in accordance with the Stock Plan, will be legally
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this Opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to us in Item 5 of Part II of the
Registration Statement.

                                               Very truly yours,

                                               /s/ Weed & Co. LLP
                                               Weed & Co. LLP
