Does Texas have legal separation?

No. You can not file for a separation, only for divorce. If you file for divorce you can request temporary orders from the court to deal with issues such as who will live in the house while the divorce is pending, who will have temporary custody of the children, what the visitation schedule with the children will be and how much temporary child support and/or spousal support will be paid. Temporary orders remain in effect during the pendency of the divorce.
