The family of a Wharton firefighter who died battling a massive egg farm blaze is fighting to keep his widow from receiving death benefits, arguing that the 37-year-old had found out his bride of two years was born a man.
Thomas Araguz III separated from his wife after learning her history two months prior to being trapped in the fatal July 3 fire, according to attorney Chad Ellis, who is representing Araguz's parents in the lawsuit.
"He was distraught. It was extremely difficult and embarrassing for Tommy," said Ellis, who added that there is no will for the estate, which will be substantial since the fire captain died in the line of duty.

“Waiter, I ordered over easy...take these back.”
“She” is just a mutilated guy.
Texas law states that the sex you were at birth is the sex you are today and no amount of surgery or makeup will change it and same sex marriages are not legal in Texas.
“He is a cutie.”
He certainly is. Usually the only give away is the hands. Met a couple of real stunners many years ago in New Orleans. Had that creepy feeling about the broads. Then I noticed their hands. I smiled and quickly left the bar. It really pays to stay semi-sober while on a toot.
Before dating would be even better.
Give it a few years...
Nope. Texas says the sex you are at birth is the sex you will die as, addadicktome or lopadickoffme be damned.
Mega bump!
You don’t need a cat license.
Dying without a will (intestate, to use the legal term) means that you have no say in the distribution of your estate and it all goes according to state law and the named beneficiary(ies) stated on insurance and pension papers. Of course, this potentially fraudulent marriage may bear on how the judge settles the estate but the starting point is clearly stated in the law.
It really pays to stay semi-sober while in NEW ORLEANS, period!............
So I read.
The courts cannot recognize the marriage to begin with. There goes the claim to the estate.
The barbarians are at the gate attacking the legal system at every turn to “norm” same sex marriage outside of the legislature.
Right now some Massachusetts wed lesbians are seeking an Austin divorce claim in league with an activist judge.
Thomas Araguz learned during a custody dispute with his ex-wife last spring that 35-year-old Nikki Araguz, whom he married in August 2008, was allegedly born as Justin Graham Purdue. Ellis said he was unsure when Nikki Araguz may have undergone a sex-change operation, but the lawsuit claims she changed her name in the mid-1990s to Nikki Paige Araguz.
Nope. Texas says the sex you are at birth is the sex you will die as, addadicktome or lopadickoffme be damned.
Isn’t the correct term “splitadicktomy” rather than “lopadickoffme”? My understanding of the procedure is they split the penius to create two wings of the manufactured vulva. If that doesn’t make you sit up and holler, I don’t know what will.
That's gotta be embarrassing!
