I was never quite sure on that point. They were married in East Texas. I happened to be in Corpus Christi at the time and, knowing that Texas has some uh strange laws, I checked and discovered that you can't (at least couldn't then) marry a step child/parent or even step sibling. I did not find out if she would have been classified a step child. Her paternal grandparents took custody of her and her siblings soon after her step mother married my father, so there was no real family affiliation. She was apparently a really nice lady and too good for Old Dad, and found that out before too much damage was done.
