Common law marriage in Texas lasts indefinitely as long as the couple meets the state's requirements for establishing a common law marriage, such as living together and presenting themselves as married.
The length of a marriage depends entirely upon the commitment of the man and woman involved. Marriages may last just a matter of hours, or they can last 75 years if both partners live long enough.
