Thank you so much for your question. Yes, it is necessary to be divorced, as Texas recognizes the validity of marriages from outside U.S. borders. In order for any future marriage to be legal, you must first be divorced. It is quite possible that you will be able to get divorced right from your hometown, assuming you meet the 6 month residency requirement. Please note that I am a San Antonio Divorce Lawyer.
