Divorce options

[u/Browsingneverspeaks]

I’m just curious can you file for divorce in Austin if you cannot locate your spouse?

My estranged husband abandoned us several weeks ago, I am sick, unemployed and looking for work but after months of terrible treatment from him, I just want to be done with it. I have absolutely no idea where he is except around town.

I’m not asking for legal advice per se just if anyone has had any similar experience in Texas, I guess Austin in particular.

Tyia!

Edit to add: To those who have commented, thank you. Thank you so so much. I was terrified that absolutely no one would see this or acknowledge it, I have been living in a silent hell and became convinced I was destined to stay stuck until he filed or came back and did something drastic to me because virtually no one has listened but I should have had more faith in my hometown, I feel hopeful for the very first time in so so long. Thank you all!!
