I got married to USA citizen. He petitioned for me last year 2024. An interview was scheduled by USCIS. A week before our interview I found out he was married before in 2016 and The ex wife left him and divorced him in an unknown county .The lawyer decided to reschedule the interview until we find the divorce decree. I have gone around all courts of texas but there is no divorce or any form of separation. I reached out to the lady he married before for assistance however she is non responsive. I am told she probably divorced in Louisiana as she resides there, still not sure of which county. 
Kindly advice and assist what I should do next.

Are you currently out of status?   Your attorney should be able to find the divorce decree (if it exists).

Your husband should have been served when she filed for divorce. He should know where it was filed.

Your lawyer needs to earn his fee and find that divorce decree. 

I would be more worried that you were not informed of this divorce and how he did not submit the decree at the time of filling.

If there is a divorce decree

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

You must know the date that narrows it down

Why is the petitioner not providing his own divorce decree?

It's unusual that he would not be aware of what county (or state) that divorce was filed.  Both Texas and Louisiana require six months of state residency and 90 days of county (parish in Louisiana) residency before divorce can be filed, so maybe this will narrow it down a bit.  Divorces are public records in both states.  Notification of the other party is mandatory, except in very rare circumstances, so he really should know something.

Your spouse didn't tell you or didn't tell you until just before the interview?

 

You have a much bigger issue than needing to find a divorce decree.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

the divorce decree(s) are required for an I-130 petition to be approved

If the petitioner did not disclose the prior marriage on the I-130 that was approved, there will likely be issues of misrepresentation to overcome.  A very good US immigration attorney will be needed to try and fix this.

I would get an immigration attorney if you want to find a way to stay in the U.S.  Above all, you need to file for divorce because undisclosed marriages are a huge moral red flag.
