Texas is a community property state. Everything earned or acquired during marriage is presumed community property, owned equally by both spouses. Separate property requires clear proof — documentation of what you owned before marriage or received by gift or inheritance. Texas also has a unique out-of-state rule: it will not reclassify property acquired in another state, so couples moving to Texas from equitable-distribution states face special planning considerations. A prenup creates clear, documented proof of separate property from the start.
Your Clause prenup explicitly defines which property is separate and which is marital, overriding Texas's default 50/50 community property split with terms you both agree on.
Attorney-drafted prenups typically cost $5,000 to $20,000 combined. Here's how Clause compares:
Yes. Texas has adopted the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (Tex. Fam. Code § 4.001 et seq.), which sets clear standards for enforcement. Courts uphold prenups that are in writing, signed by both parties with full financial disclosure, and free from fraud, duress, or unconscionable terms.
