How to E-File an Uncontested Divorce in Texas

Texas e-filing is usually required for divorce. Learn how to prepare your documents, upload through eFileTexas, pay court fees, and complete the next steps.

Texas Uses eFileTexas

Most Texas family law cases, including divorce, are filed electronically through eFileTexas. DivorceReady prepares your Texas packet; you upload the completed PDFs through the official court filing system. Start with the Texas e-file divorce preparation page.

Before You E-File

Make sure you have the correct county, complete party names, addresses, signed documents where needed, and payment information for the court filing fee. If you are requesting a fee waiver, prepare that paperwork before submitting.

Create an eFileTexas Account

Go to eFileTexas.gov, create an account, and choose the county and court where you meet residency requirements. The District Clerk reviews filings for that county.

Upload the Right Documents

Upload the Original Petition for Divorce first, then any additional documents required for your filing. After your spouse signs a waiver or service is completed, you file those documents too.

What Happens After Submission

The clerk reviews your filing. If accepted, the case receives a case number and file-stamped copies. If rejected, the clerk usually explains what must be corrected before resubmitting.

Final Steps

After filing, complete service or waiver, wait the 60-day period, then follow your county's steps to schedule or attend the prove-up hearing. DivorceReady provides filing instructions but does not file documents for you or represent you in court.
