adding a house to a Trust

I created a Revocable Trust last month and I am looking to add a jointly owned house in TX to the Trust. Currently the deed is in my name, individually and wife's name, individually. If my portion of the house deed is changed to the Trust, do my wife and I have to sign a new deed? Or can I just change the title of the deed separately from my wife, to show the house listed as in the name of the trust and my wifie, as individual?

How would you "change" your "portion of the house . . . to the trust" except by signing a deed?

can I just change the title of the deed separately from my wife, to show the house listed as in the name of the trust and my wifie, as individual?

I have no idea what you mean by "change the title of the deed."

The only way to transfer title (to a trust or otherwise) is by execution of a deed. I would strongly suggest you confer with an estate planning or real property attorney. The reason(s) why you want to hold your interest separate from that of your wife (which is at least somewhat unusual) are important to understand in connection with how to accomplish your goal. Also, your lack of understanding of things suggests that you would benefit from a review of the trust you created.
