Under Texas law, there is a waiting period of at least 60 days—counted beginning the day after the Petition is filed—before a divorce can be finalized. A divorce can take longer than 60 days, but it cannot be finalized in fewer than 60 days unless one of two exceptions involving family violence applies.
As a practical matter, all divorces take time. Even after divorce is granted, the quickest it would be official would be 90 days AFTER the judgement is entered. It will be at least 6 months before you can get divorced in the quickest way possible.
Theoretically, the least amount of time it can take to get divorced in Texas is 61 days. However, even an uncontested divorce typically takes about three to four months to finalize due to the court's docket and the schedules of all the parties involved.
After you've filed the divorce petition, Texas has a mandatory 60-day waiting period before you can get your final divorce decree. (Tex. Fam. Code § 6.702(a) (2022).)
Unless there was family violence, the judge can't finalize a divorce at the hearing until 60 days after the petition for divorce was filed. Keep that in mind when "setting," or scheduling, your hearing. How you will set the hearing will vary from county to county. Please check with your court for exact details.
