In Texas - if you own 1 home and the husband owns land - will both qualify for an exemption if you claim one property and your spouse claims the other?
The homestead exemption is applicable only to the primary residence. So the only way you and your spouse could claim different homes is if you are separated and have different primary residences. * Texas is a community property state. Unless one of the properties was acquired before the marriage then they cannot be separated either for taxation or as a homestead declaration. Or as noted, perhaps in a legal separation and definitely in a divorce unless the issue pertains to a creditor judgment.
Is there an one-time exemption from paying capital gain when selling a home?
There is no one-time exemption. But there is an exemption you can take as often as every two years. If you owned the house for two of the last five years and the house was your principle residence for two of the five years, there is a $250,000 exemption. If you file jointly and the house was also your spouse's principle residence for two of the previous five years, there is a $500,000 exemption. If you move for reasons beyond your control without meeting the time requirements, you may qualify for a reduced exemption.

You have three years starting from the due date of your return in the year of the sale to decide whether or not to take this exclusion.

In this instance, you may still be entitled to claim a reduced exemption.
