Texas law acknowledges various grounds for divorce, encompassing both no-fault and fault-based reasons.

Fault-based grounds include:

Continuous separation for three years or more without cohabitation
Confinement in a mental institution for three years with little hope of recovery
Cruel and abusive treatment
Willful abandonment for at least one year
Felony conviction and imprisonment
Proven instances of adultery
