Where were you married? In Texas? If that's the case, then the annulment would have had to be in a Texas court.

You can check with the BVS to see if the annulment was ever done:

My guess is that it was never done.

That being the case, you probably need to get a divorce from husband #1 so that your marriage to husband #2 isn't a felony (bigamy).
