Key Insights into Texas Community Property Laws

While most states work on an equitable division system, Texas runs on a community property system. Community property assumes that all property acquired during the marriage (with the exception of separate property) is owned equally by both spouses. Under these laws, all property is assumed to be community property unless it can be proven otherwise. Separate property refers to those items that were purchased or owned before the marriage or acquired by descent or gift.

Separate property may include:

• Inheritances
• Family heirlooms
• Birthday gifts
• Items acquired while living out of state
