Common law marriage for same-sex couples
I still get questions about how Texas’ informal (aka common law) marriage statute applies to same-sex couples prior to the date that the
Obergefell
opinion was released. Remember that
Obergefell
found that the provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act prohibiting marriage between couples of the same sex are unconstitutional, thus legalizing same-sex marriage.
