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.
