While in Texas that is assumed to be community property, the law does not mandate how married people spend or distribute their money.

Legally, his money is yours and yours is his. You don't say whether you're separated, but I suspect you are. If so the only way you're going to force him to share his retirement benefit is to sue and get a court order.
