Marriage License Filing in Texas

Marriage license applications and filing in Texas have a few key steps.  First off, no blood test is required for your marriage license to be issued…whew!  You and your fiancé will both need to apply for your marriage license in-person at your County Clerk’s office.  Please note that your license expires after 90 days, so it is important to plan your office trip accordingly!

A marriage license costs upwards of $82 in the Lone Star state…and while it is the paperwork that allows your legal marriage within the United States, that’s a hefty fee in comparison to other states’ fees.  Fortunately, there is a program called Twogether that can save you $60 on your filing fee!  Simply take the eight hour premarital counseling course and bring your certificate of completion when you file for your marriage license.  Added bonus: you’ll have professional counseling under your belt to make your marriage that much stronger!
