No. Texas Family Law does not recognize legal separation. However once a divorce petition is filed, temporary orders regarding issues like who can live in the house during the pendency of the divorce are rendered by the judge. These temporary orders define certain legal rights of the parties while the parties are separated and the divorce suit is pending. But temporary orders occur only after the divorce is filed – not before.
