No, you will need six months of CA residency to file for divorce, but if you file as a separation, you can start ASAP. Unless, he has a divorce case started in TX, you are clear. It is in your best interest to file in CA ASAP, have him served, and then when 6 months are up, change the complaint for separation to complaint for dissolution, good luck
