Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I have been married 25 years and recently left my husband while he was away. He has changed all the locks on the house, I only know this as my daughter told me. I have been told that legally he can not do this, that he has to either give me a key or change the locks back.

I was also told that I would have to give him a key to my apartment, If he gave me a key to the house, which I currently own 1/2 of.

You need to speak with an attorney who can assist you. If you have been married 25 years, I would imagine that there are substantial community assets to divide. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law, practicing in the general Houston area. I would be glad to discuss the options available to you and what you need to do now to protect yourself, if you would contact me directly.
