HOUSTON --

The transsexual widow of a Wharton firefighter killed in the line of duty was questioned under oath for the first time Thursday.

Nikki Araguz is fighting to receive benefits, but several attorneys representing late firefighter Thomas Araguz's estate, his mother and his previous wife said the marriage was not legal.

Attorneys conducted a deposition and got their first chance to talk with Nikki Araguz face to face about what they call inconsistencies in her story.
