Textured Minimal and Extended Supergravity Unification and Implications   for Proton Stability
  We construct a class of textured supergravity unified SU(5) models using Planck scale corrections. We show that the texture constraints in the Higgs doublet sector are insufficient in general to fully determine the textures in the Higgs triplet sector. A classification of textured minimal parameter models is given and their Higgs triplet textures computed under the constraint that they possess the Georgi-Jarlskog textures in the Higgs doublet sector. It is argued that additional dynamical assumptions are needed to remove the ambiguity.The recently proposed extension of supergravity unification to include a minimal exotic sector is free of this ambiguity and leads to unique textures in the Higgs triplet sector. Implications for proton stability are discussed.
