Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

I bought my home in July 2009. Boyfriend moved in nov. 2009. Married in April 2010 and I am wanting a divorce, He refuses to leave stating since I married him that is his home and he has the same rights to it as I do. Also states he can sue me for my home since I married him as by law its now his. Is this the case. What are my rights. I dont see how legally I can buy my own home and yet because of marriage lose it all.

He's an idiot. Texas is an inception of title state. The home is your separate property. If he contributed to the payments, etc., he might be entitled to reimbursement, but fair market of rent would offset it. Get yourself a good divorce lawyer and keep what's yours!
