I live in Texas and my wife and I are currently estranged. No legal process has begun of any kind as of yet. She is going into the hospital because she is termanly I'll with cancer. She is trying to keep me from having any knowledge of her condition. Can she do this ?

Absolutely, 100%. You do not have the right to her medical records or history.

Even if you were in an intact marriage, you wouldn't have the legal right to know her medical information.
