To file a petition for divorce in Texas, you or your spouse must live in the state of Texas for at least six months. In addition, you  or your spouse must be a resident of the county in which you file for divorce for at least 90 days. However, there is no requirement that you file for divorce in the same county in which you were married in the state. In addition, you can be married in another state, and later file for divorce in Texas. After you file a petition for divorce in Texas, you must wait 60 days before the court will finalize the divorce. You may need to wait  longer than 60 days if you and your spouse disagree about material issues of your case, like child custody or spousal support.
