I don't mean to butt in, but I'm in Texas also.

Texas doesn't have alimony, but beginning with a law passed last year, if you are married for 10 or more years, you can possibly qualify for "maintenance", but it usually won't be for more than 3 years and I don't think it can be for more than 20% of the paying spouse's income.

So I don't think that will affect you much, and I'd be much more concerned about the military benefits.
