A Wharton Volunteer Fire Department captain whose estate is now the subject of a bitter court battle questioning whether his marriage was valid testified in April that he did not know his wife used to be a man, according to a court deposition obtained by the Houston Chronicle.

Thomas Araguz III's widow said Monday that Araguz intentionally lied when the subject of her sex change surfaced in depositions taken in a child custody case earlier this year. Nikki Araguz said she also lied in her deposition. They were hoping to keep joint custody of his two boys, she said.

Nikki Araguz, who was born Justin Graham Purdue, testified she did not recall ever discussing her birth name with her husband.
