Annulment, a process that legally nullifies a marriage, is different from divorce in that it treats the marriage as if it never happened. Under Texas law, annulments are granted only in specific circumstances as outlined in the Texas Family Code §§ 6.101 – 6.111 (Texas Family Code § 6).

To qualify for an annulment, one must prove certain conditions were met at the time of the marriage. These can include cases of fraud, force, mental incapacity, impotency, underage marriage without parental consent, or marriage that took place under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. An annulment can also occur if the marriage happened less than 72 hours after the issuance of the marriage license (Texas Family Code § 6.102).

For those who believe their marriage meets the criteria for annulment, the legal process involves petitioning the court and providing evidence that validates one of the legal grounds. This process can be complex, and the outcome heavily depends on the specifics of the individual case.
