Spousal abandonment is actually not a crime, however, it is grounds for divorce (which may be granted in absentia, if the missing spouse cannot be contacted or will not show up to contest the divorce).

In Texas, spousal abandonment is not a formal ground for divorce but can be related to the concept of "constructive abandonment." This occurs when one spouse leaves the marital home without consent and fails to fulfill their marital obligations, such as financial support or emotional connection. A spouse can file for divorce on this basis if they can demonstrate that the abandoning spouse has left the marriage without justification and has not returned. Additionally, Texas courts may consider abandonment when dividing property or determining spousal support.
