Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Common Law Marriage

I am in a common law marriage and have been for 7 years. I have two children also in this from a previous marriage. I have found that my partner has been unfaithful for quite some time. Now that he has been exposed he is threatening to kick me and my two children out on the street. Can he legally do this?
