Texas Marriage License Information

Please Note Texas Laws concerning Marriage Licenses:

		Individuals must be 18 or older to obtain a marriage license and at least 14 with
		parental consent.
		If under the age of 16, Texas law requires that the couple receives a court order
		before being allowed to marry.
		A medical exam is not required; however, there is a three-day waiting period.
		Once issued, the license is valid for 30 days.
		Cost varies from county to county. Please contact your County Clerk’s office for
		specific information. Click here for a list of Texas County Clerk Offices. Travis, Williamson and Hays County Clerk information is included on this website.
		If divorce was finalized within last 30 days, bring certified copy of the divorce
		decree stating the 30-day waiting period is waived.
		As of September 1995 Texas Law requires that a notarized statement pertaining to
		child support be submitted by all marriage license applicants. This form may be obtained at the same time you apply for your marriage license. It must be signed and completed in the presence of two witnesses and a notary public. No applications can be processed without the proper submission of this statement.
		Ordained Christian ministers and priests; Jewish rabbis and persons who are officers
		of religious organizations and who are duly authorized by the organization to conduct marriage ceremonies may perform marriages in Texas. --- Ministers must complete the marriage license and return it to the county clerk who issued it within 30 days after the marriage. --- For questions see the county clerk.
