More details to this question:
I live in Texas. I married a man two years ago (he owned a house). He recently refinanced the home and added me to the deed of trust, but not the mortgage. If we divorce, do I have partial interest in the house?

You need to look at the title of the house. If you're on the title, then you have an ownership interest. If you're not, then you may have only an equitable interest if you divorce. If you want to be sure, hire a title company or real estate lawyer to prepare a deed from him to both you and him.
