Does Texas recognize joint tenancy?

In Texas, the joint tenancy is recognized by statute (101.002, Estates Code Section 111 112, Estates Code for agreements between joint owners or spouses) and case law as a legal form of ownership. A joint tenancy cannot be implied or created by operation of law.

Which tenancy is best for married couples?
