Texas Prenuptial Agreements

Texas is strongly pro-enforcement: a premarital agreement is enforceable unless it was signed involuntarily or was unconscionable and made without fair disclosure or a valid waiver.

Community property

How Texas divides property.

Texas is a community-property state under the Texas Uniform Premarital Agreement Act. A prenup lets you partition or exchange community property and characterize earnings as separate.

WealthGuard builds your agreement around these rules — so it’s tailored to Texas, not a generic national template.

What Texas requires

In writing and signed (no consideration needed)

Tex. Fam. Code § 4.002 requires a written agreement signed by both parties; it is enforceable without consideration.

Voluntary, with fair disclosure or a waiver

Under § 4.006, it is unenforceable only if signed involuntarily, or unconscionable and made without fair and reasonable disclosure, a written waiver, and adequate knowledge.

In writing and signed

The agreement must be a written contract signed by both parties before the marriage.

Full and fair financial disclosure

Each party should fully disclose assets, debts, and income. Inadequate disclosure is a leading reason agreements are later thrown out.

Voluntary, without duress

Both parties must sign freely — not under pressure, and with enough time to review. Last-minute, eve-of-wedding signings invite challenges.
