David Cohen, Full Faith and Credit Versus State Interest: The Last-in-Time Rule in Texas, 55 TEXAS L. REV. 127 (1976).
 

Abstract:
This note addresses the phenomenon of divorces that reach across state lines by focusing upon Layton v. Layton, a recent divorce decision of a Texas court of civil appeals. Layton not only represents a case of first impression for the State of Texas but also raises a question central to the union of states comprising the Nation: to what extent is the full faith and credit clause an absolute in our federal system? The note concludes by criticizing Layton's mechanical approach to interstate divorce conflicts.
