Dallas, TX asked in Divorce for Texas

Q: We both are non-US citizens and got married in US. We agreed to get divorce now in Texas. Do we have to go to the court?

My husband and I are both non-US citizens and holding J1 visas working in Texas. We got married in US and now agreed to get divorce. We don't have property or children to separate. Do we have to go to the court to finally get divorce? Or we can just sign up some files and get a final divorce? Thanks!
