Go to the courthouse and see if you registered as married. If so, you are legally married in Texas. If you registered as married, then you need a divorce.

If you want a consultation, I charge $2 per minute to sit with you and talk.

You can have a common law marriage in Texas but we would need to discuss it.

In Texas, you don't have to go through a marriage "ceremony" to be legally married in Texas.

I hope this information helps you.
