It is not just Texas. It is or was common law and statute in most of the US.

A marriage license adds the State to your Union.

Never get married guys. It's not worth it. You'll regret it.

In Texas, you can use this method to marry your sister.

Does the IRS recognize this on a joint tax return?

[zrigh]

This also has existed in Colorado for a long time

[williamthethespian]

"...an agreement to be married ". Hmm. Would public voicing of agreement be enough, or must it be written?

[VishalRaoOnYouTube]

Theoretically, a man can satisfy these three requirements with multiple women. So theoretically, plural marriage is legal in Texas? Asking for a friend. 😮

What happens in the event the spouse passes away? My wife passed away and we are considered common law, do I have any rights when it comes to her property?
