On March 7, 2007 a lady in our county married a gentleman, while still married to another (maybe more than one) man in another county. With a 3 year limitation, am I dead in the water or is bigamy a 'continuing' crime until they split up? Also, the statute's punishment section says bigamy is a F3 unless the person married to the defendant is 16 or older then it becomes a 2nd degree. It's a 1st degree if the spouse is under 16. When would it ever be a third degree felony? Good times in rural Texas. | ||

There was another thread on this - it is NEVER a third degree felony, since the person married to the defendant will always be either "16 or over" or under the age of 16. I think it is a continuing offense, since the "harm" is continuing. But that is just my opinion. | |||
