"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.
