You need to get a good lawyer and file for divorce. The Court can make adjustments in the division of community property (60-40 instead of 50-50, for instance) based on your husband's wrongful conduct. I'm afraid that's your only recourse for "deliberate acts of letting bills get delinquent," which isn't a crime or even a tort in Texas.
File for divorce immediately, and ask for temporary orders.
