Spouse Application rules in community property state?

We live in TX, community property state. Is it possible for DH to apply for a mortgage without me? I think I’ve read that my debts will be considered as his, but would my income also be considered?

Under FHA loss and debts will be consider but not under conventional loan.

Do you both have income?

Do you know your credit scores? 

 

FHA (580 credit score minimum) loan requires that the debts of a spouse be counted in DTI. 

CONV (620 credit score required) loan does not require the debts of a spouse to be counted in DTI. Although, if you want to include income from both you have to count debts for both.
