Solicitation and revocation of proxies

    The accompanying proxy is solicited by Reliability Incorporated, a Texas

solicitation.  The Company will make arrangements with brokerage houses and
banks for forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares
registered in brokers' and banks' names.  All solicitation costs will be
borne by the Company.  All properly signed proxies will be voted, and, where
a choice has been specified by the shareholder as provided on the proxy, it
will be voted in accordance with the specification so made.  Any shareholder
giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is used at the meeting by
giving written notice of revocation to the secretary of the Company or by
signing and delivering to the secretary of the Company a proxy bearing a
later date.

    Proxy materials are expected to be mailed or delivered to shareholders
on or about March 21, 1996.

Voting at the meeting

    Only holders of record of the Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock")

meeting.  Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote; shareholders
do not have the right to cumulate their votes with respect to the election
of directors.  Directors are elected by a majority vote of those shares
present at the meeting.

                              PROXY STATEMENT

September 1991, Mr. Langford was Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer of The Parsons Corporation.  

    Mr. Lederer has been a Director of the Company since 1972 and was
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company from March 1993 until
October 1995.  Mr. Lederer's principal occupation has been that of an
investor for more than the last five years.  

    Management has no reason to believe that any person proposed to be
elected a director will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected.  If such
a situation arises, proxies will be voted for a nominee selected by the Board
of Directors of the Company.

    Based on inquiries and a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 received by the
Company during 1995, it was determined that S.I.P., Inc. failed to file one
Form 4 on a timely basis.  S.I.P., Inc. filed a Form 4 on August 16, 1995 to
report the July 1995 transaction.  Mr. Everett Hanlon failed to file a Form
4 on a timely basis.  Mr. Hanlon was a director during 1995.  His estate
filed the Form 4 in January 1996 to report the November 1995 transaction.

    The Company's Board of Directors held four meetings during 1995.  All
incumbent directors attended 75% or more of the meetings of the Board of
Directors.

    The Company's audit committee, composed of Messrs. Howard and Langford,
met two times during 1995.  Mr. Langford attended both meetings and Mr.
Howard attended one meeting.  The audit committee reviews and approves all
services to be performed by independent auditors and the fees therefor,
consults with independent auditors and management with respect to internal
controls and other financial matters and reviews the results of the year-end
audit and other reports of independent auditors.

    The compensation committee, composed of Messrs. Lederer and Hampton, met 
two times during 1995 and both members attended both meetings.  The functions
of the compensation committee are to review executive compensation and
benefit plans and recommend changes therein and to make recommendations to
the Board of Directors concerning executive salaries and incentive plans for
the Company.

Compensation Committee report

                   REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
                         ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee")
of Reliability Incorporated submits this report on executive compensation to
the Board of Directors and the Company's shareholders.  This report covers
components of executive compensation and the bases of the Committee's
compensation decisions.  The Committee's goal is to establish compensation
for executive officers that ensures a fair and competitive salary and
additional incentive compensation which is related directly to the financial
success of the Company and the performance of the officers.  

Salary

    Salaries for the chief executive officer ("CEO") and each other executive
officer are set annually.   The Committee tries to set salaries that are
competitive with those paid by companies of similar  size and revenue  in the

industry.  The Company utilizes the currently available American Electronics
Association Executive Compensation Survey ("AEA Compensation Survey")  to
determine appropriate and competitive salaries.

    The Company completed a restructuring of its operations in early 1993 and
returned to profitability in 1993, after reporting significant losses in
1990, 1991 and 1992.  In August, 1993, U.S. salaries were increased for all
employees, including officers; salaries for executives then approximated 1989
salaries.  In 1994, the Company's profitability continued and salaries were
raised; the salary of the CEO was increased 8% and the raises for the other
executive officers varied from 4% to 9%.  In 1995, the salary of the CEO was
increased 8% and the raises for the other executives varied from 4% to 10%. 
The raises in 1994 and 1995 for the CEO and executive officers varied
depending on the performance of the individual executive and the financial
success of the industry segment, division or subsidiary for which the
executive was responsible.  In addition, the Committee reviewed the
performance of the Company, its gross, operating, and net profits, the
performance of the Company's officers and the business plan for 1995, as well
as the applicable AEA Compensation Survey to determine appropriate and
competitive salaries.  The Committee considered salaries paid by other
companies of similar size and revenues to determine market rate salary using
the 25th percentile results of the AEA Compensation Survey.

Incentive compensation

    In addition to base salary, the Company has an incentive bonus plan which
applies to the CEO, all other executive officers and all salaried employees
of the Company.  This bonus plan has three components:  (1)  a quantitative
measure based on the net income before income tax of the Company (a) as a
whole in the case of the CEO and certain other executive officers or (b) the
subsidiary, industry segment or division of the Company for which the
executive is responsible; (2)  a qualitative measure which is an evaluation
of each individual's performance during the year, made by the Committee for
the CEO and by the CEO for all other executive officers; and (3) a target
bonus.  The Committee's approach to incentive bonuses is to establish
incentives at a pay-for-performance level which allows the executive to be
compensated in total at a competitive rate.  Each year the Committee
establishes the target bonus for the CEO and each executive officer and
approves the payment of bonuses, if any, based on achieving predetermined
goals.  The CEO and executive officers are only eligible for bonuses when the
Company as a whole and/or the operating division for which such officer is
responsible is profitable.  The actual bonus for the CEO was 31% of salary
in 1993.  Bonuses ranging from 3% to 26% were paid to other executive
officers for 1993. Target bonuses, for 1994, ranged from 30% of salary for
the CEO (up from 20% in 1993) to 22.5% for executive officers (up from 15%
in 1993); the actual bonus paid, in 1994, to the CEO was 56% of his salary
and ranged from 26% to 37% of salary for the executive officers.  Actual
bonus amounts for any or all officers can exceed target bonuses when the
Company's (or the subsidiary, division or industry segment for which the
officer is responsible) net income exceeds income goals set at the beginning
of the year and an individual officer's performance exceeds a rating of 1.0,
and will be less than target bonuses if the appropriate net income before
taxes does not reach the specified goals or an individual officer's
performance is judged to be between 0 and 1.0.  Target bonuses, for 1995,
ranged from 35% of salary for the CEO to 26.5% for executive officers.  The
actual bonus paid, in 1995, to the CEO was 124% of his salary and ranged from

net income before income tax as a percent of revenues from 9% in 1993 to 12%
in 1994 and 18% in 1995.  The high level of the Company's income in 1995
resulted in income factors coupled with individual performance factors being
set at levels that resulted in the CEO and certain executive officers
receiving total compensation for 1995 at approximately the third quartile of
the AEA Compensation Survey.  All salaried employees of the Company received
a bonus in 1995; such bonuses ranged from 10% of base salary to 62% of base
salary, exclusive of bonuses paid to executive officers.  

Benefits

    The CEO and other executive officers are not entitled to any additional
benefits which are not also provided to all full-time salaried employees.

The Company does not provide any long-term compensation plans for executive
officers, thus columns (f), (g) and (h) are omitted from the above table.

(1)   Amounts shown in this column represent the Company's matching and
      annual contributions to the Employee Stock Savings Plan for the benefit
      of the named individual.

- - --------------------

      The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Savings Plan (the "Plan").  All
U.S. employees of the Company who have completed one year of service are
covered by the Plan.  The Plan allows an employee to contribute up to 15% of
defined compensation to the Plan.  Contributions to the Plan by executive
officers have been limited (6% in 1995 and 1994) by provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code.  The Company contributes a matching amount to the Plan
equal to 50% of the employee's contribution, to a maximum of 2%, for
employees who contribute 2% or more.  The Company also contributes, as a
voluntary contribution, an amount equal to 1% of the defined compensation of
all covered employees.

      The following performance graph compares the five year cumulative total
return to shareholders for the Company's Common Stock to the Nasdaq Non-
Financial Stocks Index (which includes the Company) and to the Nasdaq Stock
Market (US) CRSP Total Return Index.  The graph assumes that the value of the
investment in the Company's Common Stock and each index was $100 at December
31, 1990, and that all dividends (the Company did not pay any dividends) were
reinvested.
