Your Marriage License...Rules and handy information.

Do you know when and where to apply for your marriage license?

In Texas, a marriage license is only valid for 30 days from its purchase date. It would be a good idea to plan a day, during the week about two weeks before your wedding, where both you and your fiance can take off work and wait in line to apply for your license.
