This opinion letter is being delivered at your request pursuant to the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Plans; (ii) the Registration Statements; (iii) the Company’s certificate of formation (the “Certificate of Formation”) and the Company’s bylaws, each as currently in effect; (iv) the Texas Certificate of Conversion and the Delaware Certificate of Conversion; and (v) such other documents and records (including resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors and any committee thereof) as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render this opinion. In all such examinations, we have assumed, without independent verification, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents, certificates, and instruments submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed without independent verification that (a) prior to the Conversion, the Delaware Corporation took all corporate action required under the laws of the State of Delaware to authorize the Plans and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, including the issuance of Shares and (b) after any issuance of any Shares, the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, together with the total number of shares of Class A Common

Stock then reserved for issuance or obligated to be issued by the Company pursuant to any agreement or arrangement, or otherwise, including pursuant to the Plans, will not exceed the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock then authorized under the Certificate of Formation. We have, among other things, relied upon certificates of public officials and, as to various factual matters, certificates of officers of the Company, including the Texas Certificate of Conversion, certified by the Texas Secretary of State on June 9, 2026, the Delaware Certificate of Conversion, certified by the Delaware Secretary of State on June 8, 2026, and a Certificate of Fact with respect to the Company’s existence as a corporation, certified by the Texas Secretary of State on June 9, 2026.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares covered by the Registration Statements, when issued and sold pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable Plan, and as contemplated in the applicable Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, incorporated by reference into the Registration Statements, and to the reference to our firm in the Registration Statements. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are “experts” within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act.
