You need to talk to a divorce lawyer in your area. One place you can look for the attorney you need is our website, http://attorneypages.com
I don't think annulment is an option here, since you were together for more than two years after your marriage and you had a child together, although I can't say it's impossible: I'm not a Texas attorney, and I don't know if an illegal alien can lawfully get married in your state. But even without looking at the divorce statute, if he's been completely gone since 2004 you will be able to file for divorce, for either separation or desertion, with no more waiting.
