Question

Accepted Answer

This question has been addressed in 1 Texas court opinion(s), including Cristy West v. Jimmie Ward. Private communications often carry more weight than social media 'holding out.' Even if you represent yourselves as married on Instagram, private texts referring to each other as 'fiancé' or identifying as 'single' can be fatal to a common law marriage claim.
