Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Texas Divorce w/Home

Greetings,

During our two year old marriage, we purchased a home. We were approved on wife's credit only. I signed many documents during the course of this purchase along with my wife. However, I did not sign Note. Bank has verified that I am not on the mortgage. Wife is the sole borrower. I signed the Deed of Trust. I am unclear what the Title is, whether it's synonymous with another document or whether I've signed it. I have filed for divorce.

Am I legally obligated to continue paying the mortgage?

Many thanks

No. The only reason you signed the deed of trust is to provide notice of your homestead rights in the property as a spouse of the borrower.
