Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I live in a community property state. My husband paid for our house in full with a trust fund dissolvment and an annuity payment that he got from a lawsuit settlement when he was a child. If we divorce is it community property? I have contributed to the household like paying bills, maintinence, taxes, etc.

It sounds like the house is his separate property. Unless your contributions somehow enhanced the value of the house, then you aren't entitled to any reimbursement upon divorce.
