Texas Marital Property Law 101

“Nearly all Texans know that Texas is a community property state. But I'm not sure how many really know what that means—I've learned that most people think it means that each spouse gets half of everything. But if it were that simple, estate planning and divorce lawyers would be jobless. So I've devised this crash course in Texas marital property law to give you a basic working knowledge of Texas' community property system.”
