Community property, separate property, and the presumption

Texas presumes property possessed by either spouse during or on dissolution is community property; separate property (owned before marriage, or received by gift, devise, or descent, or certain injury recoveries) must be proven by clear and convincing evidence. Courts divide the community estate as the court deems just and right.

Do it with the tools

Legal information, not legal advice. Statements about county practice defer to your county's published procedure and the district clerk — where this platform has no verified county data, it says so instead of guessing.
