How long do you have to be married to get half of everything in Texas?

What happens if I don’t sign divorce papers in Texas?
If no signature can be obtained or you cannot reach a settlement, then there are no “papers” to sign. You will have to set the divorce for trial. Then the court will sign a decree regardless of the lack of signature.
