Re:			TWFG, Inc.
			Registration Statement on Form S-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to TWFG, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333- ) (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Registration Statement relates to an underwritten public offering by the Company of up to shares (including up to shares subject to the Underwriters’ (as defined below) overallotment option) (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) (together with any additional shares of such stock that may be issued by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Act), pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be executed by the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act.

We have examined originals or certified copies of such corporate records of the Company and other certificates and documents of officials of the Company, public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed, certified or reproduced copies. We have also assumed that, upon sale and delivery, (i) the specimen of certificate to represent shares of Common Stock filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and the issuance of shares of Common Stock in uncertificated form on request upon original issuance or transfer shall have been duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and (ii) the certificates for the Shares will conform to such specimen and will have been duly countersigned by a transfer agent and duly registered by a registrar or, if uncertificated, valid book-entry notations for the issuance of the Shares in uncertificated form will have been duly made in the share register of the Company. As to various questions of fact relevant to this letter, we have relied, without independent investigation, upon certificates of public officials and certificates of officers of the Company, all of which we assume to be true, correct and complete.
