Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I own a home & my husband owns a home; then we got married. We are looking at buying another home "our home" and my husband said "I will pay for it myself." So does this mean I am not part owner? I will end up paying bills and he has ownership of the "our home" because he paid for it out of his salary?

You would still be a part owner. Texas is a community property state, so it doesn't matter whose name is on the title of the house, or who pays for it. As long as the house was purchased during your marriage, it still belongs to both of you.
