You would have to review when the house was purchased and if she has made any payments toward the house. Since Texas is a community property state you would need to determine if she has any community property interest in the house and then decide from there on whether or not she can demand any part of the asset. Technically she can demand whatever she wants but ultimately it will be a decision for the courts.

What can I do if my wife filed divorce without my knowledge?

You could challenge the divorce based on fraud, but that will be difficult to prove, especially if you were drunk at the time. If you can't get the divorce overturned, you can file a motion to modify the custody arrangement based on a material and substantial change in circumstances. But if I were your lawyer, I would tell you to only do that if you are clean and sober and have been that way for a long period of time. You need to talk with a local attorney about the details.
