If the divorce case is still pending (usually cases are dismissed for want of prosecution after 3-6 months if the Respondent has not been served), and you and your husband can reach an agreement on the division of your marital estate, you can probably get an attorney in or near the county where the case is pending to prepare a final decree and the ancillary documents and to prove up the divorce for $5,000 or less.  A simple divorce with no kids and limited assets shouldn't cost more than this in Texas unless you and your husband disagree on the division of your marital estate.
