I am getting married in Texas, and both sets of parents want the inheritance to go only to their child. Do we need a prenup to make sure the inherited money can not be claimed by the other after marriage?

You need an attorney, and I believe it needs to be set up in a trust account.

Yes! Sign that prenup b/c not only will it make your parents happy but it should give both of you a peace of mind b/c you never know what the future holds and if it comes down to a divorce your going to have to share your parents money/belongings with this person... but on the plus side if you sign the prenup & are still together & living happily ever after it doesn't matter who it goes to b/c you guys will considered as one so you'll both be able to benefit from the inheritance it's just that someone will have more say so. The way I see it you can't go wrong by signing a prenup!

Sounds like a reasonable request from the parents - I'd want the same thing if it was me. Suggest you grab the yellow pages and look for a family atty offering a free 1/2 hour consultation and go see him/her for details. Given all the split families out there, I've gotta believe this is a common thing they deal with.

You better do the prenup and spell everything out in detail. Divorces tend to get ugly and anything consented verbally tends to be forgotten.

It will probably ease some headaches if you agree to have any inheritance not be part of a possible divorce. If you stay together it won't matter and your parents won't annoy you about it.
