Re: what if we can't get served with the court forms

If you and your husband are stationed in Texas,

presumably at least one of you is in the military

and therefore it's just a matter of time before the service either permits or even arranges for the service of the papers on your husband.

And, yes, you will be able to sign legally for the papers.
