Exhibit 31.1


                    CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO
         SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Keith S. Walters, certify that:

1. I  have  reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Ennis,
   Inc.;

2. Based  on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain
   any  untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to  state  a
   material fact necessary to make the statements made, in  light
   of  the  circumstances under which such statements were  made,
   not  misleading  with respect to the period  covered  by  this
   quarterly report;

3. Based  on  my knowledge, the financial statements,  and  other
   financial  information  included  in  this  quarterly  report,
   fairly   present  in  all  material  respects  the   financial
   condition,  results  of  operations  and  cash  flows  of  the
   registrant  as  of,  and for, the periods  presented  in  this
   quarterly report;

4. The   registrant's  other  certifying  officer   and   I   are
   responsible   for  establishing  and  maintaining   disclosure
   controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-
   15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and we have:

      a) Designed  such disclosure controls  and  procedures,  or
         caused such disclosure controls  and  procedures  to  be
         designed under our supervision, to ensure that  material
         information  relating  to the  registrant, including its
         consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
         within those entities, particularly during the period in
         which this quarterly report is being prepared;

      b) Evaluated   the   effectiveness   of   the  registrant's
	 disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this
	 report  our  conclusions  about the effectiveness of the
	 disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
	 period covered  by this report based on such evaluation;
	 and

      c) Disclosed in  this report any change in the registrant's
         internal  control over financial reporting that occurred
         during  the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the
         registrant's  fourth  fiscal  quarter in the case of the
         annual  report)  that  has  materially affected,  or  is
         reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's
         internal control over financial reporting; and

5. The   registrant's  other  certifying  officer  and   I   have
   disclosed,  based  on our most recent evaluation  of  internal
   control   over   financial  reporting,  to  the   registrant's
   auditors  and  the  audit committee of registrant's  board  of
   directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

      a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses  in
         the  design   or   operation  of  internal control  over
	 financial  reporting  which  are  reasonably  likely  to
	 adversely  affect  the  registrant's  ability to record,
	 process, summarize and  report financial data; and

      b) Any  fraud,  whether  or  not  material, that   involves
         management  or  other  employees  who have a significant
	 role in the registrant's internal control over financial
         reporting.
