No, the Texas Homestead Exemption cannot be waived as it is a constitutional right.

The only ways to lose the exemption are death, abandonment of the property, establishing another homestead, or sale/transfer of the property.

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?

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.

If you file the Homestead Declaration, then you are entitled to the protections of the homestead law. If you don't file the Homestead Declaration, then you're not.
