QUESTION
If my name is not on the title, does that mean I do not own the house?

More details to this question:
My husband and I took the mortgage to buy the house after we got married. But the title only has his name. My name isn't on the title. Is it because I didn't have a SSN then? Do I own the house?

Texas is a community property state. Although your name is not on the deed, any property purchased during your marriage is considered community property. This means that the house and the mortgage loan are both owned by you and your husband equally.
