Most jurisdictions require a certain time of residency or domicile in order to have the authority to grant your divorce. In Texas, you have to live here for 6 months and be a domiciliary of the country where you file for 90 days in order to file in the county where you live. I don't know what kind of laws they have in Mexico, but most places have some type of requirement that you live there in order for them to have authority to get a divorce there. You may want to consult with an attorney licensed in Mexico to find out their laws on the topic.
