Did you have the same state of residence?  What is your state as an active-duty spouse?

You are talking about a HI return, then.  Did he have taxes taken out of a job in Hawaii by Hawaii?

Yes, it is excludable.  Your husband will want to inform his employer that he is a Texas resident and not subject to Hawaii tax.  But this means that he can use that form to exclude his income, and the Hawaii tax that was withheld last year should be refunded to you.
