Senate Bill 1159 amends the Family Code to establish exceptions to Texas residency requirements for certain spouses of military personnel for purposes of filing a suit for dissolution of a marriage in Texas. The bill makes exceptions to those requirements for time spent by a person outside Texas or outside the county of residence while accompanying the person's spouse in the spouse's service of the armed forces or other service of the United States or of this state and for a person not previously a resident of Texas who is accompanying the person's spouse during the spouse's military service at one or more military installations in Texas for at least the last six months and at a military installation in a Texas county for at least the last 90 days.
