___________, 1998 

Travis International, Inc.                                                      
3000 Weslayan Street, Suite 350                                                 
Houston, Texas 77027                                                            

Ladies and Gentlemen:                                                           

      We have acted as counsel for Travis International, Inc. (the "Company") in
connection with the registration and proposed sale of an aggregate of 2,909,091 
shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company 
("Common Stock") as described in the Company's Registration Statement on Form   
S-1, Registration No. 333-37291, filed with the Securities and Exchange         
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Registration          
Statement"). In such capacity, we have reviewed the Second Restated Certificate 
of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws of the Company and have examined all       
statutes and other records, instruments and documents pertaining to the Company 
that we have deemed necessary to examine for the purposes of this opinion.      

Based upon our examination as aforesaid, we are of the opinion that:

      1.    The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and
     in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and

   2.    Upon the sale of the Shares for the consideration approved by the
            Company's Board of Directors and in accordance with the terms of the
       Underwriting Agreement between the Company and the Underwriters
           named therein, such Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock.

   We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use  
of our name in the Registration Statement under the caption "Legal Matters."    

         Very truly yours,

                             Mayor, Day, Caldwell & Keeton, L.L.P.
