HB 2758 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to certain statutory changes to reflect and address same-sex marriages and parenting relationships and to the removal of provisions regarding the criminality or unacceptability of homosexual conduct.

HB 2758 updates Texas Family Code provisions to reflect same-sex marriages and parenting relationships. It adds a new section requiring gender-specific terms (like "husband" or "parent") to be interpreted neutrally for same-sex couples, and amends marriage license applications to remove the requirement specifying "a man and a woman" as applicants. The bill also removes outdated legal references describing homosexual conduct as criminal or unacceptable. This directly affects same-sex married couples and parents navigating Texas family law, ensuring their rights and relationships are recognized without gendered language.
