Attorney Megan Naglveiter talks about Section 6.301 of the Texas Family Code.
Before filing for a petition for divorce in Texas, one must have been a resident of the State of Texas for at least the preceding six (6) months and a resident of the county of filing for at least the preceding ninety (90) days. This residency requirement must be met or satisfied at the time of filing for the petition.
Section 6.301 of the Texas Family Code states:
General Residency Rule for Divorce Suit. A suit for divorce may not be maintained in this state unless at the time the suit is filed either the petitioner or the respondent has been:
(1) a domiciliary of this state for the preceding six-month period; and
(2) a resident of the county in which the suit is filed for the preceding 90-day period.
