If the house is jointly owned by both of you then it is community property.
The State of Texas does not recognize legal separation - you are either married or divorced.
Being separated does not divide the community property.
You need to meet in person with a family law attorney if you want to divorce and discuss your options.
If you are not going to live with this man, then why not divorce?
It does not appear that you live in the Houston area, look on this website & on www.avvo.com for an attorney in your area.
I hope the answer has been helpful. You did not give many details to help answer it.
