Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My wife wants a divorce. I have some land that I bought when I was 18 yrs old and have lived on it years before she and I got married. I am now 59 yrs old. We have been married for 15 years. What claim could she have on this property.? It is my homestead.

It is your separate property. You don't have to give her any part of it in the divorce.
I'm assuming that you didn't make improvements to the land during the marriage (put buildings on it, install a swimming pool, etc.).
