I live in Texas and you have to wait 30 days before you can remarry.....can the divorce be appealed during this time if we still want to be married?

An appeal should not be necessary, for a decree or order is not final until 30 days after it has been entered. What can be done, instead, is for both parties to make a joint motion to the trial court for an order to vacate the decree -- - "mutual mistake", "the parties have reconciled and the marriage is not broken", a couple of reasons that can be advanced.

The law and society favor marriage so it should be a motion that would be welcomed by the trial court.

DO BOTH PARTIES HAVE TO B AT COURT FOR THIS

If both parties sign sworn affidavits for the motion, that should be adequate. However, to be certain, the judge might require personal appearance and sworn testimony from both that they have reconciled and the marriage not broken.
