In the state of Texas, a process server will exercise "due diligence" in service, and if that is impossible, they will notify the Court. You also publish your intent to divorce in the newspaper where you believe the other party resides to give them a chance to respond. After all your attempts, if the other party still doesn't respond, the Court will issue a divorce decree... even without them there.
Their absence from the process doesn't stop anything, it just means the court will grant you what you're asking for and you don't have to argue with the other party. It's called a "Default Judgement".

∙ 14y agoYes. There are procedures to follow in attempt to serve notice. If the spouse can not be found or is uncooperative, and, as you say, all reasonable attempts made, then the noticed is published in the local newspaper, and you move forward without him. The terms, conditions and distribution of marital assets, if supported should be considered uncontested. You're going to have some roadblocks in getting hold of your share of the assets, but your attorney will tell you what you can do and how. Good luck!
