Actually, under TX law, there is nothing illegal about a spouse talking to a doctor, lawyer, LEO, or mental health professional, about his/her spouse’s mental health, substance abuse, guns, etc. What IS illegal, is a doctor or psychologist ASKING a spouse about it without permission (unless there is already considered to be a danger to the spouse or others). It is also illegal for the doctor to discuss what a patient has said with anyone else (except if there is considered to be a danger to the patient or others present). Yes, this is a little oversimplified but we have only so much room here.
