No. Just living together is not enough. You can read the TX Family Code on-line yourself to determine what needs to establish a common law marriage in Texas.

My sister lived with a guy for over 7 years and she did what I said and avoided a common law marriage!

In Texas, you can live with a guy for one week and be common law married if you do certain things. Time is NOT a requirement in Texas!
