Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

living together

I am engaged and we are living in the home I had prior to our relationship. He pays the house note and utilities. Does he have any right to this home, if we separate? We have lived together is this home for about 10 months. We do not share bank accounts, savings or credit cards. I do have him on my auto insurance as a common law spouse.
