Full question:
My husband filed a dissolution of marriage last March 16. I only have 30 days to file a response. I have no plans of contesting the divorce, I do not want any of his property. I am in Texas now. Can I file a response to the summons online? How much would it cost? How soon after divorce judgment can I remarry?

Answer:
Whether you can file a response online depends on whether the particular court accepts electronic filings. Filing costs vary by court. I suggest calling the clerk of courts. The following are TX statutes:
§ 6.801. REMARRIAGE. (a) Except as otherwise provided by
this subchapter, neither party to a divorce may marry a third party
before the 31st day after the date the divorce is decreed.
(b) The former spouses may marry each other at any time.
Added by Acts 1997, 75th Leg., ch. 7, § 1, eff. April 17, 1997.
§ 6.802. WAIVER OF PROHIBITION AGAINST REMARRIAGE. For
good cause shown the court may waive the prohibition against
remarriage provided by this subchapter as to either or both spouses
if a record of the proceedings is made and preserved or if findings
of fact and conclusions of law are filed by the court.
