37. Texas is a "Community Property" state...

So you get half a spouse's income when you split. Or, if he (or she) is a scumbag, dope addicted bum--you get half the debt.

A couple of friends of mine went through this years ago--one of the relationships was, in fact "common law" marriage. They managed to pay up without bankruptcy, but it was rough.
