Punitive damages for what? If you mean that they were having an affair while she was still married to you, and you want to sue him for breaking up your marriage, then no, I don't see that working out. Texas does not have in place the legal causes of action such as alienation of affection that you would need to rely on in order to be able to sue anyone for that sort of thing.
