Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Wife on drugs and continues, Will I loose the kids if she's cought?

Basic question If my wife is cought on an illegal substance, Will we loose the kids? I am not taking them, nor do I allow her to she is doing this behind my back, I am to the point of kicking her out because of it. She also cheated on me while on the drugs, so If I open up a non joint bank account for fear due to her possible drug addiction and deposit my bonus checks in it, is it Illegal to do? One more question since she did cheat on me, does she forfit the right to her half of everything?
