You are telling me that in Texas a spouse has no right to any property the other spouse had before they were married? That sounds like a horrendous law.

What's horrendous about it? Why should someone who marries and then divorces someone with a lot of property be entitled to half of that property? The way the law works, if I owned a bull and a cow, and I got married, the bull and the cow would still be 100% mine, but any calves they produce would be 50% mine and 50% the spouse's. The only other exception to community property is inheritance. Any property I inherit during a marriage is separate property.
