Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My husband and I have been seperated for 8 years now and he's living in another state I believe. How easy would it be to get a divorce and what steps do I need to take to start this process ?

We need more information.

Did you and the husband ever live together in Texas? Were you married in Texas?

If the answer is "yes," you would begin the process by filing a petition for divorce in the county where you've been living for the past 90 days.

After that, you would either get him to sign a waiver, or you'd get him served.

As to how easy it will be, that depends on (a) his personality and (b) other factors, such as whether or not there is property involved (real estate, retirement funds) or children.
