    Default Re: Do You Need an Annulment for a Bigamous Marriage

    Quote Quoting Texas Family Code, Sec. 1.102. Most Recent Marriage Presumed Valid.
    When two or more marriages of a person to different spouses are alleged, the most recent marriage is presumed to be valid as against each marriage that precedes the most recent marriage until one who asserts the validity of a prior marriage proves the validity of the prior marriage.
    I don't see any statute or authority that will allow you to avoid filing for an annulment.
