Generally, to get a divorce in Texas, the spouse seeking divorce must have been a resident in Texas for at least six months and lived in the county where s/he seeks a divorce for at least 90 days.
However, a person from another state or foreign country may file for a divorce in Texas if the estranged spouse has lived in Texas for six months (the county residency requirement does not apply).
