Texas is a community property state. This means that the income that either of you makes from any source belongs to you both jointly. Unfortunately, this also means that creditors can seek payment from either one of you for debts. It may be a good idea to talk to a divorce lawyer about a post-marital agreement, dividing your assets and debts to protect you from your husband's financial troubles. A post marital agreement is a document that you and your husband can execute that essentially removes the presumption of community property and isolates certain assets and liabilities as separate property.
