HOUSTON - Nikki Araguz is the much talked about widow of a Wharton firefighter killed on the job.
She's a woman whose life started with a birth certificate that classified her as a boy, and now continues as a woman.
Since her birth, Araguz has had a sex change operation, and that's all she needed in order to legally marry a man, according to a year-old amendment to the Texas family code.
