More details to this question:
If I contract with a law firm in the Philippines to personally serve a defendant who resides in the Philippines for a divorce (the defendant has never visited the US) will the proof of service be enough to satisfy the personal jurisdiction requirement over the defendant when he does not meet the general "minimum contacts" requirements? The filing spouse is a US citizen and meets the residency requirements for Texas.

File in Texas if you have lived here six months and in that county for 90 days. The Texas court has jurisdiction to grant the divorce and divide the property in Texas.
