Her name isn't on the lease and she is known to be violent and abusive. No writ of divorce has been filed yet either.

You need to call the cops next time she is violent.
But whatever you do, do NOT put your hands on her.
Call us. We will be there.

Doesn't matter if she is on the lease or not. If she actually lives there (her stuff is in the apartment) then yes it is illegal to deny her entry into the apartment.
If she becomes violent and abusive, you need to call the police immediately and DO NOT lay your hands on her in any way.
You may want to look into getting a Protective Order against her if she is truly that violent.
Edit to add: You do not have to be moved out for 6 months to get a divorce in Texas. You have to be a resident of the state for 6 months and of the county you are filing in for at least 90 days.

Seems to me, if she's your wife and if she "stays" there, then she's entitled to be there. But if your attorney gets a TRO, she may not be allowed to be there. You'll need legal help beyond just some advice here.
And be careful- she might beat you to the documents and then YOU won't be allowed in there, even though it's your name on the lease. Make sure you understand what *could* happen when you see your attorney.
Go to yahoo yellow pages and look for bar association. They'll have a phone number. Call it, ask for a referral to a Family Law attorney. The first consultation should be minimal- enough to talk for a bit and explain what you need. Anything else will cost you. It's not clear what "violent and abusive" means, at least when a judge hears those words. But if she's got a record for domestic violence, that'll help.
Good luck ...

If her name is not on the lease then it could be trespassing,and you could probably deny access,but then again you are married.Change the lock.
You could file for an order of protection at your local police station citing that she has a history of violence.This will be better for you in the future just in case she tries to hurt you,it will be in the police records.

If she has somebody accompanying her, then you definitely could be silly to disclaim that man or woman get admission to. All it is going to do is improve the priority. Why do no longer you hire a expert shifting business enterprise and have them %. up and circulate her assets your self? If she has no assets on your domicile, she has no valid reason to return. And in the journey that your call is the only call on the hire and you have replaced the locks, she will have the means to no longer have the felony ideal to go into.

You don't have to let anyone in your house who you don't want to be there. Call the cops. They will have her arrested.
