     Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We are acting as special Nevada counsel for ENGlobal Corporation, a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") relating to the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 175,000 shares of Common
Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock") of the Company, all of
which are to be offered and sold, if at all, by a certain stockholder of the
Company (the "Selling Stockholder").

     We have reviewed and are familiar with (a) the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, (b) a certificate of an officer of the
Company representing certain matters in connection with the original issuance of
the Common Stock, which representations we have assumed the validity of and
relied on, and (c) such other matters as we have deemed necessary for this
opinion.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common
Stock to be offered and sold by the Selling Stockholder have been duly
authorized and legally issued by the Company and are fully paid and
nonassessable. This opinion is limited to matters governed by the laws of the
State of Nevada.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the
Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus included therein.
In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category
of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

                                            Sincerely,

                                            HALE LANE PEEK DENNISON AND HOWARD
