All debts created by during the marriage are deemed to be community debts. However, even if the court were to order you to pay 1/2, the creditor cannot sue you for your share unless your name is on the debt (credit card). Sometimes the Court awards one party more than 1/2 of the property along with all of the debt just to make sure that the split is equitable. Texas is not a 50/50 state...contrary to public opinion. It is a "just and right" state...meaning that the court can divide the estate in any manner that it deems equitable.
