Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

My husband and I purchased a house last September in Deer Park Texas. The loan is in his name, but the deed is in both of our names. If he wants to sell the house will I get half of the sale amount. And don't I have to sign the documents for any sale to occur?
