Yes, 60 DAYS.
In Texas, the court can't grant the divorce until at least 60 days have passed since the divorce petition was filed.
There are two exceptions to this waiting period:
the responding spouse has been convicted of or received deferred adjudication for an offense involving
family violence against the petitioner or a member
of the petitioner's household,
or
the petitioner has an active protective order against the responding spouse based on a finding of family violence.
In these cases, a court can finalize the divorce more quickly and before the 60 day waiting period has passed.
