Newly married filing jointly for federal but only one of us has state taxes (Nebraska & Texas)

I filled out the federal form as married filing jointly but am confused on how to submit state taxes based on our situation:

I lived and worked in Nebraska from Jan-March
Moved to Texas in March
Got married in May
Worked new job in Texas Sep-Dec
Husband lived & worked in Texas the entire year

I understand that I need to file for Nebraska as a part time resident and that Texas doesn't have state income tax so we don't need to submit anything there. But do I need to select married filing jointly for my Nebraska return as well? Would that take our entire year's combined income into account instead of just my income for the 2-ish months I worked there?

Not A Product Question

If you are marred at the end of the year you are married.

Only your income should be posted to the Nebraska tax return
Your husbands should not be included.
When entering the Nebraska state return it will ask to confirm what income was earned in the state.
