Which is better for us, annulment or divorce?

First of all, there are very specific requirements you would have to meet for an "annulment". Merely having a brief marriage does not satisfy the requirements for an "annulment". I have represented couples in the past with marriages that terminated in 30 days or less. Regardless of the length of the marriage, if you do not meet the statutory requirements, your request for an "annulment" will be denied and you will have to proceed with a divorce action.

Texas is one of the few states that acknowledges common law marriage. You are actually entitled to a divorce and a division of any assets you two may have purchased together during the marriage (house, cars, retirement benefits, etc.) It is my hope that you have separated and that you are somewhere safe and away from him if he is abusive. Also, you did not mention if you have any children, but if you do, you would be entitled to certain rights and benefits as it pertains to them. You two may not have been formally married, but that doesn't stop you from pursuing a divorce and the rights associated with any community property you two may have.

We filed a divorce but the lawyer of my husband is holding up the case, can I file something to get this resolved?

If your husband's attorney will not help you finalize the divorce, your best bet is to hire an attorney of your own. Because your case is almost finalized, it shouldn't cost you a great deal to find someone to help you get it done. It could be that the attorney hasn't been paid by your ex, so he's withholding the final paperwork. Or there could be other issues at play with his attorney causing the delay (illness, travel, etc.). You just never know.
