No. You generally file in the state where you lived for most of the last 180 days. Exemptions are from that state unless you moved from another state within the last 2-1/2 years and bought land in your new state, in which case you may be limited to your old state's exemptions. (This is to catch people who move to states with unlimited homestead exemptions, such as Texas or Florida.)
