WATCH: Trans Widow Nikki Araguz Wins Fight Over Late Husband's Estate

"A Texas appeals court has vindicated Nikki Araguz Loyd by once again validating the transgender woman's marriage to her firefighter husband, five years after he died battling a blaze in Houston.

The ruling Friday by the 13th Texas Court of Appeals, reported by Houston TV station KTRK, sent the case back to a Wharton County judge who originally voided the marriage and deprived Araguz Loyd of her rights as Thomas Araguz's widow to his estate."

Ahhhhh.... Trust Texas to throw a wrench in the gears. I can't think of too many states that would even try this.
