I am married and have my husbands last name. I live
in the state of Texas and was wondering if I could

Yes, any adult may change his or her name more or less at will. There is a legal process for doing so, adminstered through your local county court. You have to file a type of legal action called a "change of name case." Here is a link you may find helpful: http://www.courts.alaska.gov/shc/family/shcname.htm
