You say that "it" shows your previous marriage. What is "it?" A website?

In Texas, if you have (1) lived with someone [OPPOSITE sex] in the State of Texas, (2) represented yourselves to others as husband and wife, and (3) filed joint income tax returns, that is a valid legal marriage, even if you don't have a license or a record that shows up on some computer.
