We Did Not Have a Wedding or Get A Marriage License, So Can We Still Be Considered Married?

Under Texas Family Code § 2.401, yes, you may be considered married if each statutory element is met.  § 2.401 states that to be considered an informal or “common-law” marriage, the parties must (1) agree to be married; (2) live together in Texas as husband and wife; and (3) represent to others in Texas that they are husband and wife.
