In connection with the divorce (whether you file or she files), somebody needs to deny specifically that this child is your child. Under Texas law, there is a legal presumption that a baby born to a married woman is the product of the marriage - even if you and she and everybody else knows it's not yours.
This is very important.
And you'll want to make sure that the decree makes a specific finding that the child is not yours.
