Re: Property own before marriage
Texas law holds that property acquired before marriage is separate property, but you have the burden to prove that it remains separate and/or that your separate estate does not owe money to the community for improvements or maintenance.

Property owned prior to marriage is separate property and a party cannot be divested of their separate property. Contact me directly if you want to learn more about dividing property. I am in the Houston area.
