Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I went before the judge today for a non contested do it yourself divorce today, the judge granted the divorce and signed the final divorce decree. I went to the clerk office and she gave me a copy of the final paperwork, but on the front of them the words filed is stamped on there. Does that mean my divorce was not final today?

Filed just means that the document is filed in the clerk's office. It does not mean that it is not final.
