If you're unable to locate your spouse, Texas law allows for a "****by Publication". Have you tried to locate him through all reasonable means?
No
In order to proceed with a "****by Publication", Texas law requires you to make a diligent effort to locate your spouse. This includes contacting family, friends, last known employers, etc. Have you tried these methods?
Family has no idea. No longer work at the last company I knew.
In Texas, if you've made a diligent effort to locate your spouse and failed, you can request a "****by Publication". This involves publishing a notice in a newspaper. Consult a local attorney for guidance.
