Hi. Me and my wife divorced in Nov, 2004. Divorce decree stated half of 401K will be hers, but No QDRO was completed. Can she still come after me, or is it too late now?

Yes she can still come after you. And heaven forbid you actually cash out instead of rolling over that balance. Depends on how the divorce decree is worded this could get ugly. A QDRO is not that expensive to get, I'd file one with the court now just to get the account split and get her out of your life.
by the way...this is not state law it's federal law that governs this.

I wish I can help you with the Texas law, but here in New York State, if you are married to your first wife for 11 years and you die she gets your 401K and S.S and more.

there is not any statute of drawback on divorce. A divorce is a civil count, not criminal. as quickly as a petition for divorce is filed with the courtroom, it is located on the docket. If the submitting celebration transformations their concepts previous to the docket call (the case being suggested as earlier the courtroom to be heard) the petition could be withdrawn. as quickly as the case is heard, and the action for divorce granted, there is not any attraction. it is accomplished.
