Texas Community Property Law

Property acquired during marriage is presumed community property, regardless of title.

Separate Property:

  • Pre-marriage assets.

  • Gifts/inheritances.

  • Personal injury settlements (minus lost earnings).

  • Assets protected by prenup.

Community Property:

  • Income during marriage.

  • Real estate from marital funds.
