The 60-day waiting period in a Texas divorce
A Texas court generally may not grant a divorce before the 60th day after the suit is filed — a floor, not a schedule. Statutory exceptions exist for qualifying family-violence situations, and agreed cases commonly use the wait to finish their paperwork for the prove-up.
The honesty note
The 60th day is the earliest legal possibility; county settings and the prove-up calendar control the real date.

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.
