Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to USURF America, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the

"Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration

Statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities

and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The

Registration Statement covers the following securities of the Company:

 

A. Up to 4,587,387 shares of Company Common Stock, all of which are issued

and outstanding, and all of which are held by shareholders of the

Company (these 4,587,387 shares being referred to herein as the

"Selling Shareholder Stock"); and

 

B. Up to 2,641,477 shares of Company Common Stock underlying issued and

outstanding common stock purchase warrants of the Company (these

2,641,477 shares being referred to herein as the "Warrant Stock").

 

As counsel for the Company, we have examined the originals or copies,

certified or otherwise authenticated to our satisfaction, of the corporate

records of the Company and such other documents or certificates of public

officials as we have deemed necessary for the opinions expressed herein.

 

In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have assumed (i) the legal

capacity of all natural persons, (ii) the authenticity of all documents

submitted to us as originals and (iii) the conformity to original documents

of all documents submitted to us as copies.

 

Based upon our examination of such documents, materials, certificates and

information as we have deemed appropriate or relevant for the purpose of

delivering this opinion, but subject to the qualifications set forth

herein, we are of the following opinion:

 

1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and lawfully existing and

in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

2. The 4,587,387 shares of the Selling Shareholder Stock owned by the

various shareholders named in the Prospectus filed as part of the

Registration Statement are validly issued and were duly authorized for

issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company at valid meetings

thereof, after due consideration by the Board of Directors of the facts

and circumstances surrounding such issuances, legally issued in

accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, and appropriate stock

certificates representing such shares of Selling Shareholder Stock have

been issued; the 4,587,387 shares of Selling Shareholder Stock are

fully paid and non-assessable.

 

3. The 2,641,477 shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of

certain outstanding common stock purchase warrants of the Company, when

paid for and issued in accordance with their respective terms, will be

legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of

the Company.

 

The foregoing is based solely on the facts stated herein. No opinion

contained herein shall be construed to infer an opinion relating to any

other situation, unless such opinion is stated expressly herein.

 

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the

Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the "Litigation

Other Litigation" and "Legal Matters" headings in the Prospectus forming

part of the Registration Statement.

 

Sincerely,
