Texas!!!!!!!!!!!
So proud of you!!!
Just a warning from "the other side".. Divorce is CRAPPY! So many emotions come into play so prepare yourself ...
I was the one who filed in my case, I felt guilty, unsure, sad for what could have been, lost dreams, hopes, you name it I felt it. Even though I knew I was doing the right thing for myself and my son it felt CRAPPY.
Hang in there... You are on the correct path. Before you know it you will be able to breathe again and boy does it feel good!
We are here for you! GO GET 'UM STRONG GIRL!!

Any ideas to get him out of the house?? Trying to go uncontested with mediation. He said he would leave but is now drunk as a skunk. Literally face planted. My only idea is pack him and kindly transport to an extended stay. Whatever gets him out PRONTO. Having him here is jacking with my emotions, which are all over the place.

Can you get some family help with that? His or yours?
You can't do it by yourself--

I agree, remove him ASAP but get some support to get it done.

HH....if worse comes to worse....you could ask your lawyer the specifics of getting a restraining order.
I know that the laws in Texas are different than a lot of other states....but, your lawyers knows them.....

HHTexas this is where things start to get hairy, and probably the reason I was pretty much forced to maintain this relationship long after it was anywhere close to being any kind of healthy.
In Pennsylvania, even though my name is the only one on the house, he has all kinds of rights and I couldn't force him to leave, nor could I lock him out of the house. I've put my husband in hotels before, but he always manages to come back and I couldn't keep him out legally short of a restraining order, where I would have had to lie about physical abuse.
Contact your lawyer and see what they say.
Good luck my prayers are with you, I know how freaking awful your situation is.

Hugs to you for your strength. It will likely get worse for a bit (sorry bout that)...often times they don't go quietly...

And it's heart wrenching even when you know it's the right thing.

Huge hugs and prayers.
