How much is an uncontested divorce in Texas? (2026)
The main cost is the filing fee to open the case, which in most Texas counties is roughly $300, paid to the district clerk. Exact fees vary by county. If your spouse will not sign a waiver you may also pay for service, and if money is tight the Statement of Inability can waive court costs entirely.
