You go to the courthouse and file a petition and pay the filing fee.

But before you do that, you want to make sure that Texas has jurisdiction.

Did you and your husband ever live together in Texas?

Have you lived in Texas for at least six months?

You have not put sufficient information into your question to accurately answer it. One very important consideration is whether there are any minor children involved. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law, practicing in the general Houston area. I would be glad to discuss the matter further with you if you would contact me directly at 713-600-5500.
