Yes, you can file for a divorce by publication.      Divorce by publication happens only after a judge has been convinced, based on a sworn declaration, of the serving party's inability to find the Defendant after a "diligent search." Service by publication is commonly used in a divorce action to serve a spouse who has disappeared without a leaving a forwarding address. In Texas, divorce by publication is not an easy route to go. Divorce by publication has more steps, is more complicated, and is more expensive than an agreed divorce. In short, it is easier and cheaper if you can find your spouse and get them to sign off on the final divorce decree, but you can still get divorced. 

Assets owned prior to the marriage are separate property. However, there are possible claims for reimbursement. Texas property law is rather complicated - it would be wise to hire a lawyer.

In Nevada there is no such formula for alimony, the court will consider all forms of income, and also look at money out for bills and expenses. It is based on need and ability to pay, and is governed by NRS 125.150. Alimony cases can be extremely tricky and I would recommend any one having issues in court with alimony to have competent counsel present to argue all the nuances that go with it.
