Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Divorce

My husband and I are separated. The problem is I think he may ask for my pickup in the divorce because it is paid for. The thing is, my dad gave that to me as a gift about 1 year ago. It is only in my name. Can I sell it before the divorce or give it to my mom as a gift before the divorce?
