Home abandonment law in Texas?

What is the name of your state? Texas
I had a livin-in girlfriend for about 6 years. She decided to move out the first of April and she got an apartment and signed a 7 month lease. All I want to do is pay her the equity she has earned since she has been there. At the time of the home purchase, I put all the money down at closing (appx $15k) but put her name on the loan as co-buyer so we could qualify for a bigger home and her name is also on the deed.

My question is, since she has moved out and established residence somewhere else can that qualify as home abandonment? If she decided to make this ugly then I may not want to sell and just continue to pay on the mortgage. Could she force me to sell?

I would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks in advance!
