He can file for divorce in texas as long as he meets the residency requirements. He has to live in texas for 9 months and in the county where he is filing for divorce for 6 months.

To get the divorce granted he needs to either obtain a waiver of citation from his spouse or have her served.

Divorces can be complicated so it is best to hire an attorney.
