Does my spouse’s fault matter in a Texas divorce?

I’ve been told that Texas is a no-fault state and the fact that my wife is an alcoholic and emotionally abusive to me and our kids doesn’t mean anything in a divorce. We live in Dallas and have a house and a business together. Her behavior has negatively impacted our customers and our business as a whole. I don’t think it’s fair that her actions don’t count for anything. If I do pursue a divorce, will a judge consider what she’s done to me and our family when they divide up our property? Is there something I have to include in the divorce papers to let the court know about her behavior?
