Residency before filing: six months and 90 days

A divorce suit can be maintained in Texas only if, at filing, one spouse has been a Texas domiciliary for the preceding six months AND a resident of the filing county for the preceding 90 days — either spouse can satisfy it.

The honesty note

Timing can open eligibility later; count both prongs before filing.

Legal information, not legal advice. Statements about county practice defer to your county's published procedure and the district clerk — where this platform has no verified county data, it says so instead of guessing.
