If I live in community property state and my husband signed a quit claim deed to our home over to me, will it still be an issue of community property?

This was done a few years ago and the quitclaim deed has been filed. Does he has a chance getting partial ownership with regards to ‘”ommunity property” status in our state. Purpose of the quit claim deed was to give me ownership.

The quitclaim deed released your husband's entire right, title, and interest in the property to you.  The fact that you live in a community property state should not have any effect on the quitclaim deed because the quitclaim deed released the entire right, title and interest in the property.  The quitclaim deed is effective when it is recorded.  Recorded means filed with the County Recorder's office.
