Do both spouses have to be on a mortgage in Texas?

However in Texas, your spouse will still be required to sign the security instrument at closing because Texas is a community property state.
Can I stop my husband from selling the house?

Can I sell my house if my husband doesn’t want to?
One way of going about selling your house when one partner refuses is to come to an agreement to release your responsibility of the mortgage and have your ex buy out your share of the property. If neither of you can come to an agreement, however, you can also choose to settle the matter in court.
Can I make my husband move out of our home?
