My husband filed for divorce without my knowledge. I do not want this. He is having me served papers this week. He is now willing to discuss reconciliation. Am I required to sign the papers that arrive this week for him to dismiss the divorce?

No, he can dismiss the case on his own. Be certain he does or, if you are served, you could be defaulted.

In Texas, your husband would have to file a notice of non-suit. Do not count on him filing the notice of non-suit if you are served. Once you have notice you will only have the Monday following 20 days from the date of service to file an answer. If you do not file an answer he can default you.If you have an answer at least you are somewhat protected from a default. If he really wants to stop the divorce he would not go through the expense of having you served. Contact a local divorce / family lawyer in your area.
