If the home was bought during marriage, then it is presumed a community property and thus 50/50 absent any evidence to the contrary. If the home was bought before marriage, it is presumed a separate property absent any evidence to the contrary. Separate properties can be subject to findings requiring the spouse owner to reimbursement the community estate or the other spouse of any contribution to its improvement and or increases in value. You maybe entitled to some value in the property depending on which facts apply in your situation.

I am unsure whether you have gained residency, based on your inquiry; however, assuming you have - you can file in the county in which you have resided for 90 days (as long as you've been in Texas for 6 mos.) and the adultery issue simply gives argument as to why you should receive more than 50% of the community assets you have acquired during your marriage.  Feel free to contact me with further questions.
