Item 4. Description of Securities

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, at Section 145, provides,
in pertinent part, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as the
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In
addition, the indemnification of expenses (including attorneys' fees) is allowed
in derivative actions, except no indemnification is allowed in respect to any
claim, issue or matter as to which any such person has been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought decides that
indemnification is proper. To the extent that any such person succeeds on the
merits or otherwise, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith. The determination that the person to be indemnified met the
applicable standard of conduct, if not made by a court, is made by the directors
of the corporation by a majority vote of the directors not party to such an
action, suit or proceeding even though less than a quorum, by a Committee of
such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors even though less
than a quorum, or, if there are no such directors, or if such directors so
direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or by the
stockholders. Expenses may be paid in advance upon the receipt, in the case of
officers and directors, of undertakings to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by
the corporation as authorized in this section. A corporation may purchase
indemnity insurance.

The above described indemnification and advancement of expenses, unless
otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inure to the benefit of
such person's heirs, executors and administrators.

Article VI, Section 2 of the Company's By-laws provides that the Company shall
indemnify its officers and directors for such expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State
of Delaware.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, permits a
corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of
the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article Seventh of
the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains such a provision.

Under insurance policies of the Company, directors and officers of the Company
may be indemnified against certain losses arising from certain claims, including
claims under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be made against such persons
by reason of their being such directors or officers.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed

Not Applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits

5  Opinion of Joseph F. Hubach, Esq.

23(a)  Consent of Ernst & Young LLP.

23(b)  Consent of Joseph F. Hubach,  Esq. (included in Exhibit 5).

24  Power of Attorney (included on signature pages).


Item 9.  Undertakings

The Company hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the
securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of  1933;

(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;
and

(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 1(i) and 1(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 Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration
statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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.

The Company hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in this registration statement 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the provisions set forth or described in Item 6 of this
registration statement, or otherwise (but that term shall not include the
insurance policies referred to in Item 6), the Company has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 a successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Company by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
registered hereby, 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant

requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Dallas and State of Texas, on the 8th day of August,

Re: Texas Instruments Incorporated

Gentlemen:

This opinion of counsel is given in connection with a Registration Statement
(Form  S-8) being filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission
relating to 2,000,000 shares of common stock of Texas Instruments Incorporated
("TI") to be issued pursuant to awards granted under the Texas Instruments 2003
Director Compensation Plan (the "Plan").

As Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of TI, I am familiar
with all corporate action taken or expected to be taken with respect to the Plan

I am pleased to advise that the 2,000,000 shares of common stock of TI, when
issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable
Delaware General Corporation Law, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid  and  nonassessable.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
above-referenced Registration Statement.

                                          Sincerely,

Item 4. Description of Securities

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, at Section 145, provides,
in pertinent part, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as the
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In
addition, the indemnification of expenses (including attorneys' fees) is allowed
in derivative actions, except no indemnification is allowed in respect to any
claim, issue or matter as to which any such person has been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought decides that
indemnification is proper. To the extent that any such person succeeds on the
merits or otherwise, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith. The determination that the person to be indemnified met the
applicable standard of conduct, if not made by a court, is made by the directors
of the corporation by a majority vote of the directors not party to such an
action, suit or proceeding even though less than a quorum, by a Committee of
such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors even though less
than a quorum, or, if there are no such directors, or if such directors so
direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or by the
stockholders. Expenses may be paid in advance upon the receipt, in the case of
officers and directors, of undertakings to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by
the corporation as authorized in this section. A corporation may purchase
indemnity insurance.

The above described indemnification and advancement of expenses, unless
otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inure to the benefit of
such person's heirs, executors and administrators.

Article VI, Section 2 of the Company's By-laws provides that the Company shall
indemnify its officers and directors for such expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State
of Delaware.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, permits a
corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of
the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article Seventh of
the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains such a provision.

Under insurance policies of the Company, directors and officers of the Company
may be indemnified against certain losses arising from certain claims, including
claims under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be made against such persons
by reason of their being such directors or officers.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed

Not Applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits

5  Opinion of Joseph F. Hubach, Esq.

23(a)  Consent of Ernst & Young LLP.

23(b)  Consent of Joseph F. Hubach,  Esq. (included in Exhibit 5).

24  Power of Attorney (included on signature pages).

Item 9.  Undertakings

The Company hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the
securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of  1933;

(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;
and

(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 1(i) and 1(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 Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration
statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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.

The Company hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in this registration statement 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the provisions set forth or described in Item 6 of this
registration statement, or otherwise (but that term shall not include the
insurance policies referred to in Item 6), the Company has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 a successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Company by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
registered hereby, 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Texas Instruments Incorporated

Gentlemen:

This opinion of counsel is given in connection with a Registration Statement
(Form  S-8) being filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission
relating to 2,000,000 shares of common stock of Texas Instruments Incorporated
("TI") to be issued pursuant to awards granted under the Texas Instruments 2003
Director Compensation Plan (the "Plan").

As Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of TI, I am familiar
with all corporate action taken or expected to be taken with respect to the Plan
and the common stock expected to be issued thereunder.

I am pleased to advise that the 2,000,000 shares of common stock of TI, when
issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable
Delaware General Corporation Law, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid  and  nonassessable.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
above-referenced Registration Statement.

                                          Sincerely,

                                           /s/ JOSEPH F. HUBACH
