According to Texas divorce law, there is no such thing as legal separation. While this provision exists in other states, couples filing for divorce cannot be granted this status in Texas.

In some cases, spouses can be granted temporary orders in courts, in which some of the provisions may seem like a legal separation. However, spouses should realize that until the divorce is finalized they will continue to amass community property and debt.
