Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

In Texas property that you received as a gift is your separate property and is not subject to division by the court. It is possible there are reimbursement issues (for example, if community funds were used to pay the property taxes or for maintenance or other expenses related to the house), but as long as the house was received as a gift (whether the gift was pre-marriage or not), then it is your separate property.

I agree with what Mr. Morgan wrote in his response. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law practicing in the Houston area. I provide a free initial consultation, so if you want to visit about the issues involved in your case or find out any other information concerning the divorce process, then give me a call at 713-600-5500.
