Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I was married in OH and I live in TX (for the last 3 years). My wife and have been apart for 7+ years. I do not have an address for my wife, but I know she is still in OH. Where do I file the divorce? How do I give notice by publication? No children, no assets. I want to do this Pro Se, it's pretty cut and dry.

In texas only one party needs to meet the residency requirements. You file in the county where you reside. Service by publication is complicated and expensive.You have to publish an ad in a local paper for a specified period of time. I suggest you contact your local county bar association to see if they can refer you to someone who will do this for you an a pro bono basis.
