Overview

Prenuptial Agreements in Texas

Texas prenuptial agreements are governed by the Texas Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (Tex. Fam. Code § 4.001, et seq.). Texas prenups do not require consideration to be valid. However, they are unenforceable if the signing was involuntary, or if there was a lack of fair and reasonable disclosure of assets and liabilities without a written waiver of disclosure (Tex. Fam. Code § 4.006).
