Legal Answers
2 Questions Answered
Q. Will they explain to me what will happen if i plead guilty before i plead for my class c misdameanor
A: Yes, they judge will ask you a series of questions regarding your guilty plea to be sure you are fully aware of the consequences and result of entering a guilty plea.
Q. my husband married another woman in another country would this invalidate the marriage and be considered bigamy?
A: Under Texas law, if your husband marries another woman while still being married to you, this is considered bigamy. Bigamy is illegal in Texas and constitutes a criminal offense under the Texas Penal Code § 25.01.

To answer your specific question:

Bigamy: If your husband is legally married to you and marries someone else in another country without ending the marriage to you, this would be considered bigamy under Texas law.

Marriage Validity: Your marriage to him would not be automatically invalidated. Instead, the subsequent marriage (the one to the other woman) would be considered void under Texas law, meaning it has no legal effect because he was still married to you at the time.

I would recommend consulting with an attorney to weigh your options regarding divorce.
