It does not appear that you are a resident of California but are a resident of Texas. Based on your residency, you would file for divorce in Texas if you meet their jurisdictional requirements. You would then have your husband served in California.

You could file in Texas if you have been there for 6 months or more.

You can file for divorce in the state where you qualify as a resident. Check with a local family law attorney's office to find out the requirement for Texas.

If you have resided in Texas for 6 months and in the county for 90 days, you are entitled to file for divorce in Texas.

You can file in Texas if you've been there for a while. Probably 6 months. You have to have him personally served in the jail. They arrange it for you. Texas divorces seem to be quicker than CA.
