Spectrososopic, photometric, and polarimetric observations of TX Cancri, a W UMa-type binary system in Praesepe, are reported. The parameters (masses, radii, luminosities) of the components of the system are determined. If the system is evolved, then it must have last a substantial amount of mass to reach its present state. We argue that TX Cnc is unevolved, and an age-zero contact- binary model for the system is constructed. Problems in the interpretation of the parameters of the system and the age-zero model are discussed.
