Jurisdiction and Grounds for Divorce in Texas

In order for a Texas Court to exercise jurisdiction over the divorce proceeding, the minimum residency requirements must be met. You must be a resident of Texas for a minimum of six months and a resident of the county where the divorce action is filed for at least 90 days.

Texas is a "no fault state" when it comes to grounds for divorce; thus, no reason is needed to get a divorce in Texas, except for the fact that the marriage is insupportable with no reasonable expectation of reconciliation.
