Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My common law husband and I had some problems. While away at Christmas-he changed the locks on the house we have shared for over 5 years (house in his name tho' bought while we were together) leaving me with 2 outfits to wear. I was not told he was going to do this this until after it was done. What are my rights/what can be done? I have no job & his dad has a law degree and is helping him. Most of what I own is in that house. Are there any women's groups that can help me?

Thanks

I'd call the local sheriff, constable or police and ask them to escort you to the house to pick up some stuff.

You will need proof (such as a utility bill or driver's license) to prove that it your address.
