Texas is a community property state. What this means is that ANY property acquired during the marriage shall be divided between spouses and that any property that you came in with you leave with.
That’s a bit over simplistic. It’s more complicated than that. It is possible, for example, for events to have occurred during the marriage that converts property one of the spouses had before the marriage into community property. Also, some property (like gifts and inheritances) received by one spouse during the marriage remain that spouse’s separate property. Similarly, most (but not all) debts that were acquired during the marriage are community debts and most debts incurred prior to the marriage will not be community debts during the marriage. Again, though, there are exceptions to that.
