Crosstex Energy, L.P.		- 2 -		June 2, 2006

the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act for an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $500,000,000. Such securities include (i) common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership; (ii) partnership securities of the Partnership, (iii) unsecured debt securities of the Partnership, in one or more series, consisting of notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness (the “Debt Securities”); and (iv) guarantees of such Debt Securities by one or more of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

     In connection therewith, we prepared the discussion set forth under the caption “Material Tax Consequences” (the “Discussion”) in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement.

     All statements of legal conclusions contained in the Discussion, unless otherwise noted, are our opinion with respect to the matters set forth therein as of the effective date of the Registration Statement, and are, to the extent noted in the Discussion, based on the accuracy of certain factual matters. In addition, we are of the opinion that the federal income tax discussion in the Registration Statement with respect to those matters as to which no legal conclusions are provided is an accurate discussion of such federal income tax matters (except for the representations and statements of fact of the Partnership and its general partner, included in such discussion, as to which we express no opinion).

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm and this opinion contained in the Discussion. In giving this consent, however, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

		Very truly yours,
