Hays County or Travis County?
A divorce is filed in a county where one spouse has lived for the past 90 days, after living in Texas for six months. If one spouse lives in Buda and the other has moved to Austin, you may have a choice of counties. That choice can affect timing and procedure, so it's worth discussing before you file. For custody cases involving children, special rules about the child's home county can apply.
