What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

Last March of 2011 my divorce was finalized. In the divorce decree, I was awarded the house and I was suppose to sign a deed of trust to secure assumption, but my attorney never mentioned it. Ultimately, I am responsible for not being aware of it. With all that, I declared bankruptcy bank in September 2011 and the house debt was discharged under chapter 7. I lived in the house for nearly two years without making a payment and decided to move out before it was foreclosed on. My ex decided that she could move in and take ownership of the house via refinancing...her name was on the loan as well. Not sure how her and chase are working that out, but do I still sign the deed of trust to secure assumption even though I declared bankruptcy?
