In Texas, an informal or "common-law" marriage is a marriage between a man and woman who agree to be married, live together as husband and wife, and hold themselves out to others as husband and wife, but who have not obtained a marriage license and participated in a marriage ceremony.
To enter into an informal marriage, a party must establish that he or she has met the statutory requirements and has the capacity to enter the marriage. If you have questions about common law marriage, contact The Wright Firm, L.L.P. at 972-353-4600 and via the web at www.thewrightlawyers.com
