According to the OR Department of Revenue (extracted below), you may use the OR non-resident status if you file a joint return and either you or your spouse are nonresidents.
In the "My Info" section indicate that both you and your spouse lived in TX on 31 Dec and you did not live in any other states. Also verify that "Married Filing Joint" is indicated.
Still in the "My Info" section scroll down to "Other State Income" and answer "Yes" you earned income in another state and select OR from the menu. This will generate the OR non-resident return.
In the OR interview you will allocate only your income to OR so that OR only taxes the OR source income. Since TX does not have a state income tax there will not be any returns filed there.
"Use Form OR-40-N to report your income from Oregon sources if any of these are true:
- You are a resident of another state, you don't maintain a home in Oregon (or if you do maintain a home in Oregon, you didn't spend more than 200 days in Oregon during the tax year), and you had income from an Oregon source.
- You're a special-case Oregon resident.**
- You're married and filing a joint return and you or your spouse are a nonresident.
- You or your spouse meet the military personnel nonresident requirements.
- You qualified as an Oregon resident living in a foreign country** for the entire year."
