    Yeah, can't you go down to the county administration building and get married there by J.O.P.? I know you can here in San Diego.

    That's the way it was when we got married here in Texas, but that was 38 years ago so I may be a little out of the loop. Bug

    I am ordained (don't ask, haha), but I'm not in Texas, so I guess that's not much of a help. If you don't find anyone shortly, I can get you in touch with an ordained minister in the Dallas area.

    State of Texas Matrimonial Laws:

    Much of the information below is state law, however this information can change from county to county. We recommend contacting your County Clerk's Office before applying for your marriage license.

    ID Requirement: Certified copy of birth certificate; or valid driver's license or other acceptable I.D. issued by the state, another state, the United States, or a foreign government.

    • Either bring your Social Security card or know your Social Security number.

    • If you want to use your maiden name on the license bring a certified copy of your birth certificate or a certified copy of your divorce decree that states name is to be changed to maiden name.

    Residency Requirement: Do not have to be a resident of Texas.

    If previously married: If your divorce was finalized within 30 days, bring certified copy of the divorce decree stating the 30 day waiting period is waived.

    Application Requirement: Both parties must appear, together or separately, to apply. (Portions of the application process may be completed by absentee application if one party is unable to appear in person).

    Fees: $36+ - Cash Only.

    Waiting Period: Marriage licenses have a 72 hour waiting period -- unless waived due to active duty military status.

    Blood Tests: No blood test requirement.

    Under 18: If either party is under the age of 18, they must be accompanied by parents.

    • If under the age of 16, Tennessee law requires that the couple receives a court order before being allowed to marry.

    Proxy Marriages: Yes.

    Common Law Marriage: No.

    Cousin Marriage: No.

    Same Sex Marriage: No.

    Officiants: All regular ministers of the gospel of every denomination, and Jewish rabbis, more than 18 years of age, having the care of souls may perform marriages. Ministers must endorse the marriage license and return it to the clerk of the county court within three days after the marriage.

    Valid: License is valid for 30 days.
    The license can only be used within the State of Texas.

    Please Note: As of September 1995 Texas Law requires that a notorized 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.
