ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

   Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act provides that a
corporation may indemnify any director or officer who was, is or is threatened
to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because he is or was
a director or officer, provided that the director or officer (i) conducted
himself in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in
his official capacity, that his conduct was in the corporation's best interests,
and (b) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the
corporation's best interests and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Subject to certain
exceptions, a director or officer may not be indemnified if the person is found
liable to the corporation or if the person is found liable on the basis that he
improperly received a personal benefit. Under Texas law, reasonable expenses
incurred by a director or officer may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation
in advance of a final disposition of the proceeding after the corporation
receives a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith
belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and
a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay to the
corporation such expenses if it is ultimately determined that the director or
officer is not entitled to indemnification by the corporation. Texas law
requires a corporation to indemnify an officer or director against reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding in which he is named defendant
or respondent because he is or was a director or officer if he is wholly
successful in defense of the proceeding.

   Texas law also permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or
another arrangement on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer
against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a
capacity or arising out of his status as such a person, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under
Article 2.02-1.

   The Company's Bylaws, as amended (the "Bylaws"), provide for the
indemnification of its officers and directors, and the advancement to them of
expenses in connection with proceedings and claims, to the fullest extent
permitted under the Texas Business Corporation Act. Such indemnification may be
made even though directors and officers would not otherwise be entitled to
indemnification under other provisions of the Bylaws. The Company has entered
into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers
that contractually provide for indemnification and expense advancement. Both the
Bylaws and the agreements include related provisions meant to facilitate the
indemnitees' receipt of such benefits. These provisions cover, among other
things: (i) specification of the method of determining entitlement to
indemnification and the selection of independent counsel that will in some cases
make such determination, (ii) specification of certain time periods by which
certain payments or determinations must be made and actions must be taken and
(iii) the establishment of certain presumptions in favor of an indemnitee. The
benefits of certain of these provisions are available to an indemnitee only if
there has been a change in control (as defined). In addition, the Company may,
in the future, purchase directors and officers liability insurance policies for
its directors and officers.

   The above discussion of Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act
and of the Company's Bylaws is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively
qualified in its entirety by such statute and the Bylaws.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

   (a)The Company hereby undertakes:

      (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

            (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 
Securities Act;

            (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement;

            (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii)
above do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

      (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA
FIDE offering thereof.

      (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

   (b)The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating
<PAGE>
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.

   (c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise,
the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Exchange Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Company in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Exchange Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      As set forth in the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") to be filed by Consolidated Graphics, Inc., a Texas corporation (the
"Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, relating to 1,500,000 additional shares (the "Shares") of
common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") to
be issued from time to time pursuant to the Consolidated Graphics, Inc.
Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), certain legal matters in
connection with the Common Stock are being passed upon for you by us.

      In our capacity as your counsel in the connection referred to above, we
have examined the Plan, the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and its
Bylaws, each as amended to date, and have examined the originals, or copies
certified or otherwise identified, of resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors and Shareholders of the Company in connection with the issuance of the
Shares under the Plan, and of other corporate records and documents,
certificates of public officials and of representatives of the Company, statutes
and other instruments or documents, as a basis for the opinions hereinafter
expressed.

      We have assumed that all signatures on all documents examined by us are
genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are accurate and
complete, that all documents submitted to us as copies are true and correct
copies of the originals thereof and that all information submitted to us was
accurate and complete. We have also assumed full compliance with the terms of
the Plan by the Company and its employees, officers, and Board of Directors, and
that all statements and all certificates of representatives of the Company are
true and correct.

      Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon and subject to the
qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares when
issued and paid for pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

      We know that we are named in the Registration Statement, and we hereby
consent to the use of our name in the Registration Statement and to the filing
of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement.

      The opinions set forth above are limited in all respects to matters of
