Is alimony awarded in Texas?

Qualifying for alimony in Texas is very difficult. Alimony has been allowed in Texas only since 1995 and judges are only just now becoming more accustomed to awarding alimony. Typically, alimony will not be awarded if the spouse who requesting the alimony can provide for his or her basic needs. Parties are not precluded from agreeing to alimony payments, though, and frequently the parties agree to alimony payments for a variety of reasons.
