Texas is a community state. There is a presumption that all property acquired during the marriage belongs to the spouses in equal shares.
If you have a valid will, you can choose to give your separate property and your share of the community property to someone other than your spouse. However, your surviving spouse will be entitled to retain his or her share of the community estate.
