Without knowing more, my answer would be - maybe.
You truly need to hire an attorney.
If community money was put into the house, then the State of Texas has a formula that determines how much the spouse is entitled to receive.
Please remember that the property division in a divorce is complex-- it takes into account years of marriage, separate property assets of the spouses, health of the spouses, annual income of the spouses, debts, etc.
No one can give you a definate answer until they have reviewed all of the debts, assets and other factors of both parties.
Re: Community Property..Home was purchase before marriage
The general rule in Texas is that all property acquired during a marriage is presumed to be community property. As with any rule, there are exceptions, which is why you should see an attorney before relying on the general rule.
