Dallas, Texas 75248
Gentlemen:
I have acted as counsel to uniView Technologies Corporation, a Texas
corporation (the "Company") in connection with the proposed public
offering of up to 1,735,815 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.10
par value (the "Common Stock"), as described in the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on the date hereof (the "Registration Statement").
I have, as counsel, as I have deemed necessary examined such
corporate records, certificates and other documents and reviewed such
questions of law as I have deemed necessary, relevant or appropriate to
enable me to render the opinions expressed below. In rendering such
opinions, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the
authenticity of all documents examined by me. As to various questions of
fact material to such opinions, I have relied upon representations of the
Company.
Based upon such examination and representations, I advise you that,
in my opinion, the shares of Common Stock which are to be sold and
delivered by the Company and certain selling stockholders of the Company
(the "Selling Stockholders") as contemplated by the Plan of Distribution
specified in the Registration Statement, have been duly and validly
authorized by the Company and, in the case of the shares of Common Stock
to be sold by the Selling Stockholders, have been validly issued and are
fully paid and non-assessable.
I consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit "5" to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to myself under the caption
"Legal Matters" in the prospectus contained therein.
Sincerely,
/s/ Billy J. Robinson
Billy J. Robinson, General Counsel
uniView Technologies Corporation
