I didn't explain it thoroughly, I apologize. I am moving to my brother's temporarily until I get money together to get my own place. It is literally 5 minutes away. I did kind of make it sound like I was going to be on the streets, sorry.

In Texas, there is no alimony per se, it is "spousal maintenance" which requires you to be married 10 or more years or be a victim of abuse. We have been married for 8.
