I went online and found that Batteries + would do it with a discount. So I dropped in and they replaced it while I wondered around the store, about 50 minutes. With state sales tax $62.00 after the discount. Much cheaper gas wise and less aggravation driving 4 hours in Houston traffic to get it at $29.00. My 5s is working fine - I hope Apple keeps supporting it for a looooonnnngggg time.
