Wives in Texas Endow Husbands with Their All
Austin reports a statewide movement to reform Texas law so married women retain control of their separate property and earnings. Current statutes allow husbands to manage and even access a wife’s money, property, and wages, with limited or no legal protection for the wife. Advocates, including prominent judges and women’s clubs, push for exclusive management rights, contracts, and protection in courts.
