If his wife doesn't move, then it isn't going to work.
And you are assuming that she will move. She may not.

Well, you know, I'm not really all that sure that the wife would have to move as well. Don't women still move to Vegas, establish residency, then divorce their husbands all the time? Aren't the community property and alimony decisions thus delivered prompty "removed", for brutal enforcement, to the state where the man resides and has property? Perhaps if he could take an extended "business trip" here--and send her flowers, phone calls, etc., during this time this would do the trick. By the time she got served, it would be too late for her to initiate the less male-favorable action in her home state, and the decision of the Texas court, with regard to alimony, would prevail.
Of course, he would also have her "over a barrel" in this sense, as unless she could get venue in her home state she would have to come to Texas, or hire a Texas attorney to represent her. The important thing would be to avoid any possible charges of "desertion" by taking care of her, and staying in contact, while getting evidence (recorded phone calls?) that the extended trip was WITH HER PERMISSION and remaining in Texas was purely for bona fide purposes of economic opportunity, etc.*
*Or even a vacation. If women can do it this way in Vegas, why not men in Texas (SI, hay muchas chicas bonitas aqui en la frontera Mexicana!)?
