Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

statutes of temporary divorce hearing

I went to a tmporary Hearing for custody in Oct of 1996..My Husbands attorney never filed the papers in the court.I was told by the Judge that I was not to leave the county with my son.This statement he made was off the record. I need to know if I can re-file for a divorce and custody now after 4 yrs and no divorce. I need out of this county because of the demographics, they are not suitable to supporting my son and myself.I need to know what I need to file or can I just leave..What are the statutes on this situation? Thank you for your help
