Yes. It will be a little more complicated, and will require a trial setting, but he can still get a divorce.

Yes. Your zip code reflects that you are in the Houston area.

I urge you to seek legal counsel. If you get served legal papers, that is ALL that he is REQUIRED to do. He can then go forward without any further notice to you and get divorced.

You need to be INVOLVED in your divorce in order to protect yourself.

Email for a referral to competent legal counsel in the Houston area.

Based on what you have written, YES your spouse may generally go forward with a divorce proceeding upon notice to you. You need to make sure that you are fully protecting your rights and interests in the proceeding by having a Houston area law firm to assist you with protecting your rights and interests. Review the website attached for general information on Texas Divorces (http://www.jbrashearlaw.com/FamilyLaw.htm).
