No. it was his before marriage, as such, you dont have any rights to the property

Well, yes and no, Texas is a community property state and all property owned by the spouses and acquired during marriage regardless of who is on the title gives rise to an interest by the other spouse. Title acquired by one spouse prior to marriage is not part of the community property of both spouses excepting for certain actions taken by the spouses relative to the property and during marriage, which could cause a sole and separate property to be deemed a community property by the courts. Soooooo it is almost impossible to answer your questions without knowing all the facts. I suggest that you research it in the link provided or better yet ask an attorney in your area.

if your name is not on the title to the property,,,you will not be able to do anything concerning that property.....he has to put your name on the papers too because it was property he owned before you came along.

I think it might depend on the property laws of your state.

why would you do that, as a husband and wife you should make those decisions together. If it was his before the marriage it is his and you have no business doing anything with it without his permission

I believe it depends on the state. In my state (Wisconsin), all debts and property become joint when you get married, unless you have a prenup.

Unless he has added you on the deed, I think not.
