Question

If I am filing separately from my wife in the state of Texas, do I need to file community income and property information? We do not own any property at the moment.

Community Property is not just physical property. So are your respective incomes.

Yes, filing separately in a community property state is not much different that filing jointly, except the bad part is you may lose credits, but the good point is both of you will not be liable for any outstanding collection levied on just one of you. 

Besides property, you must split income. 

(it is also complicated)
