More details to this question:
My husband continuously abuses me verbally and mentally, steals from me when he's upset, and constantly disrespects me. I want to file and have it publicized in the papers. I don't know the first thing about it because I've only been married this once

You may file for divorce in Texas after living in Texas for six months. File in the county where you have lived at least 90 days. I am not sure what you mean about publicizing in the papers, but if you mean having the divorce citation served on him by publication, that is not available in cases where you know where he lives or could easily obtain that information. You will need to have your husband served with the petition for divorce by a constable or process server. Then your husband has an opportunity to respond to the suit.
