As a Texas divorce lawyer, I find divorce statistics very interesting. The Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics has a website at http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/vs/marriagedivorce/default.shtm that has more information than you can shake a stick at about Texas divorces. It isn't the easiest thing to navigate, and involves downloading a bunch of data files, but if you have the time, you can find out just about anything on divorces. Texas divorce attorneys (actually their clients) are required to submit a form to the Bureau of Vital Statistics whenever someone gets divorced. The form has a lot of private information on it which becomes a public record once submitted to the BVS.
If you want to write to the BVS about divorce records or birth records, they have their own website at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/howto/w2w/texas.htm. You can get a lot of information from this site on how to get birth certificates, death certificates, and divorce records.
