i would like to ask a question. if i was buying a house for 2yrs prior to me being married but finally finished paying it off during the marriage, would that be considered community property or all mines if my husband and i ever divorced???
Texas follows the “inception of title” rule. This means that if the house was separate when you bought it, it remains separate after you married. However, if community property funds were used to pay mortgage or upkeep, then the community would have a right of reimbursement for a portion of the money used to improve the house or pay the mortgage.
