You have to live in Texas for 6 months before Texas has jurisdiction over you. Be advised that Texas cannot divide any property if she has never been to Texas. You can file for divorce but the court has no jurisdiction over her if she's never set foot in Texas.
Talk to a family law attorney in your county if you have any questions.
Good luck!
