If you marry a man in Texas, you are married to that man until your divorce is final. So if you try to marry a man in Louisiana before your Texas divorce is final, the second marriage is invalid. In order to get a marriage license, you have to state that you are not already married. If you are, then you lied on the application, which will invalidate the license. You could also be charged with the crime of bigamy. You will have to marry him again after the Texas divorce is final if you want to be married to him.
