I am heterosexual.
I have paperwork done by a lawyer attesting to being common law married.
Before doing the paperwork, I asked if common law marriage was still valid and the lawyer said yes.

Yes, in Texas.
When was it that you heard that Texas doesn’t recognize common law hetero marriages? I.e. per your info, what year did they stop?

After wife #2 and before #3, so that would be sometime in the mid/early '90s.
There was a big thing about palimony at the same time.

Time to prohibit common law marriage. There are only 8 states that allow it.

Why didn’t they get married in another state? Obviously, the Buddhist thing wasn’t legal, which really makes it sound like they didn’t want to be married.

Hey, let them get the pitfalls of marriage too.
They wanted it, they got it. Now choke on it.

Do you HAVE to have sex to be married? Consumation of the marriage is a legal requirement? How queer.

So if two doods live together for 4 years and one dies of a heart attack, his roommate gets his sh@t???
Why don’t my two elderly aunts get this same deal to transfer property?

that is how it used to be and it was rife with fraud. The same fraud predicted, correctly, with this common law marriage ruling.
Eliminate common law marriage. Mandate a written, recorded proof and this door to fraud closes.
