Texas Law - Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements are generally enforceable in Texas.
Texas has adopted the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act , which provides for the circumstances in which agreements are enforceable.
Cases:
Dokmanovic v.Schwarz (1994) 880 SW2d 272 (parties' prenuptial agreement specified that separate property would remain separate, and that income or increases of that property would remain separate. The court upheld the validity and enforceability of this agreement).
Dewey (1988) 745 SW2d 514 (The husband, a radiologist earning over $200,000 a year, and his wife, a nurse, had signed a prenuptial agreement, which both agreed was valid. The issue was the interpretation of the agreement. The agreement had specified that the husband's professional corporation, and "profits, dividends, interest and proceeds" accruing from that corporation were husband's separate property. The court found that, despite this provision, salary paid from the corporation to husband was community property, not husband's separate property. It also found that the husband's rights to the corporation's pension plan were community property.)

VP, that’s the very naive way to look at it and you're allowed to view it that way if you wish. If you get married when you’re in your early 20s and you have nothing, 10-15 years down the road you will.
Consider this thought… you have health, dental, vision, home onwners, dental and car insurance why…? IN CASE something goes wrong… You get a prenup for the same reason – IN CASE something goes wrong… You hope you never need it, but you thank god you have it in the event that you do need it.
I guarantee you less women would want to marry if they knew they’d walk away with what they brought into it or the percentage of the dollar value of what they brought into it,.

I bought my current home when I was married to my 2nd wife almost 8 years ago. I got married again 4 years ago. If my house had been paid off by the time I got married, it would be considered separate property in the event of a divorce. However, it wasn't paid off, and I didn't ask my wife to sign any sort of agreement about it before we got married, so any equity that has been gained since our marriage is 50% hers. That's the only thing that would have really been applicable to a prenup in my case. Everything else that we each had clearly falls into the separate property or community property categories. The house would be the only thing to fight about in a divorce. Well, I guess there'd be some fighting about the kid too ...

It's ok, I know how prenups work. I'll never need one in the future, so no point in discussing... Don't say "I do", and you don't have to part with have your crap when you say "I don't..."
I think this sums it up pretty good...

I just called the guy that cuts my hair and when he answered told me he thought I was calling him to invite him to my wedding... I said “You’ll be invited to my funeral before you’re invited to my wedding...”
Now that’s pure greatness... LMFAO
