Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for Texas Scientific, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the registration
statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission(the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the"Act"), relating to the public offering (the "Offering") of
up to 2,500,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, $.001 par
value (the "Common Stock"), to be sold by the selling stockholders.  This
opinion is being furnished pursuant to Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under
the Act.

     In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have reviewed (a) the
Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto; (b) the Company's Articles of
Incorporation; (c) the Company's Bylaws; (d) certain records of the Company's
corporate proceedings as reflected in its minute books; and (e) such statutes,
records and other documents as we have deemed relevant. In our examination, we
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, and conformity with the originals of all
documents submitted to us as copies thereof. In addition, we have made such
other examinations of law and fact as we have deemed relevant in order to form a
basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares are validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
