of the homeowners, their dog
and a contractor escaped the
blaze unharmed. The second
homeowner wasn’t home at the
time of the fire, he said.
Officials said the fire was fully
engaged when firefighters were
dispatched at 1:24 p.m. “The
winds made things very diffi-

Officials said the fire was ap-
parently caused by a roofer us-
ing a torch to seal an awning.
The contractor had left the

had gotten too hot, officials said.

rulings decades ago that upheld a
prisoner’s right to marry.
“I don’t think [prison officials]
should put a hold on someone’s
love,” King, who has spent more
than eight years in prison, said
from his prison in Beaumont
Before the law took effect in
September, a prisoner could get
married by having someone else,
a proxy stand in and exchange
vows during a ceremony before a
justice of the peace. Now, both
parties must attend the ceremony,
meaning inmates sentenced to
life in prison or death can’t marry
at all.
By Michael Graczyk
Associated Press
LIVINGSTON - Christo-
pher King can’t get married, at
least not while he’s confined to a
Texas prison.
The convicted car thief and
his fiancee are prevented from
tying the knot because of a new
state law that bans proxy mar-
riages, which were common
among prisoners because they
allowed a couple to use a stand-
in for the inmate.
But the new law requires
both parties to be present during
a marriage ceremony, and the
Texas prison system doesn’t al-
low ceremonies in its facilities.
The law was meant to stop
people from fraudulently marry-
ing an individual and cashing in
on their unwitting spouse’s bene-
fits. But it also unintentionally af-
fects prison inmates, which may
conflict with U.S. Supreme Court

Officials with the Texas De-

the prison system has no plans to
change its rules, deeming such
prison ceremonies a security risk.
And those who pushed for the
