What percentage of Texas divorce cases are settled versus tried to the court?

Nearly all of them. It is the policy of the State of Texas that parties are to try and resolve their conflicts without court intervention other than granting the divorce. The Texas Family Code requires that each party sign an Alternative Dispute Resolution clause attached to their initial pleading. It usually takes significant legal action to bring the parties to a mutually agreeable resolution.
