I'm not a Texas lawyer; this is something that you'd really need to speak to someone who practices in the state for a reliable answer, and there might be other facts that are important, too.
A marriage that's done before one of the people is legally divorced is absolutely void, in most states. I'm not sure if that applies to this situation; otherwise, it's "voidable," which would mean that the other person might be able to get an annulment if they acted on this right away.
