How does common law marriage work in texas?

i was with my ex for almost six years and we lived together for at least four of those years. we bought a home together and a motorcycle. do we have to go through a divorce process?How does common law marriage work in texas?
kind of because assets have to be split.





So I found this site and tells you three things that have to be done for it to be common law marriage and if you did this than you know your answer.How does common law marriage work in texas?
It is up to you. If you can agree on a split of assets and settle things on your own, you do not need a divorce.. after you seperate the common law marriage will dissolve on it own.


If you have disagreements however, you do have the option to file for divorce and get a court ordered settlement.
No, you do not need to divorce since nothing was made official. Unless you got a declaration of informal marriage, which it does not sound like is the case, then you were never married for purposes of state or federal law.
did you call yourself husband and wife with a witness? if so, i think you're common law married but im not sure about the time required. If you didn't represent yourselves as husband and wife, you're good.
you two have to use the same last name present yourself as married and live together for six months to make it legal you go down to the lacal courthouse and fill out a paper with six or seven questions
