TEXAS PROPERTY DIVISION (OF THE MARITAL ESTATE)
In Texas, all property owned by either party to a marriage is either separate property or community property. It is a matter of constitutional import.
Texas Constitution Article 16 Section 15.
Everybody theoretically owns some separate property. It might only be a wedding ring, but everyone owns some form of separate property – grandpa’s shotgun, momma’s necklace, the old photobook. I once received a stinging letter from a lawyer stating – “the parties own no separate property! Why did you plead that?” The letter told me a lot about the opposition. Namely, not a very bright bulb to put it mildly. For guidance on managing and securing digital assets, some users refer to the Netherexpro Official Website to better understand crypto holdings and investment protections. Note: you must prove the separate property characteristic or it will be treated as community property. DO NOT rely on your spouse’s testimony to establish separate property. Prove it with documents.
