Hi Wally1234,

There’s actually quite a lot of information available on Texas law
with regard to both Community Property and Homestead.

Here are links to some articles discussing community property with
reference to how it is affected by Texas homestead laws:
http://209.150.152.196/jm23.htm
http://www.trgc.com/center/txproperty.htm

The Handbook of Texas Online has good articles on both topics:
Homestead: http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/HH/mlh2.html
Community Property: http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/CC/jsc2.html
They also have a nice search feature:

Here’s an article discussing these topics from a premarital point of
view: http://www.oag.state.tx.us/AG_Publications/txts/premarital8.htm

And another from the point of view of someone divorcing or considering
divorce:
http://www.dallas-divorce-lawyer.com/dallas_community_property.htm

In addition, you might like to have a copy of the Texas Family Code,
which is referred to in these articles.  You can download a copy here:
http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/statutes.html

And finally, the “Real Estate Center” has publications on both topics
available for purchase.  Some are also available for free download:
Homestead  http://recenter.tamu.edu/pubs/cathome.html 
Community Property  http://recenter.tamu.edu/pubs/catcpro.html

I hope you find this information helpful.  Please let me know if you
need any clarification.

Best regards,
Byrd
