            Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Southern District of Texas
                            (CA-H-91-571)
          ________________________________________________

                          June 21, 1996
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Siu Nin Ng and Po-Shin Wong Ng (Ngs) appeal from the district

court's   Order    Requiring   Turnover,   Appointing   Receiver,   and

Enjoining Persons.     They complain that the district court lacked

*

this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
sufficient evidence of ownership of property to grant a turnover;

that it erred by ordering turnover as to unspecified property; that

it lacked sufficient evidence that there was property that could

not be readily attached or levied; and that it erred when it

appointed an unqualified receiver.

     Applying Texas law, we review a turnover order for abuse of

discretion.   Jacobs v. Adams, 874 S.W.2d 166, 167 (Tex. App. -

Houston 1994, no writ).      The decision to appoint a receiver in

turnover proceedings is also within the discretion of the trial

court.   Schultz v. Cadle Co., 825 S.W.2d 151, 155 (Tex. App.-

Dallas 1992, writ denied).    We find no abuse of discretion in the

application of the Texas Turnover Statute.

                                                         AFFIRMED.
