Getting married in Texas

Texas is big, and so is its queer wedding scene, especially in Austin, Dallas and Houston. Every vendor here has been vetted to be genuinely affirming, so you can plan with people who are firmly on your side.

The legal bit

Both of you apply together at a county clerk. Texas has a 72-hour waiting period between getting your license and your ceremony. Complete the state’s Twogether in Texas premarital course and the wait is waived, and you get a discount on your license fee too. The license is valid for 90 days and can be used anywhere in Texas.

Where couples are saying yes

Austin is a favorite, from a black-tie wedding at South Congress Hotel to a spring wedding at Vuka. Houston brought us an intimate glasshouse elopement, and Dallas a butterflies-and-tattoos elopement.

Questions couples ask

Is there a waiting period to get married in Texas?

Yes, 72 hours, unless you complete the Twogether in Texas premarital course, are active-duty military, or get a judge to waive it.

How long is a Texas marriage license valid?

90 days from the date it is issued, and it can be used in any Texas county.

What is Twogether in Texas?

A state premarital education course. Your certificate waives the 72-hour wait and earns a discount on your license fee. It is valid for one year.

Who can officiate our Texas wedding?

Texas lets you choose your officiant, as long as they are authorized under state law. Check with the county clerk if you have questions.

Legal details last checked October 2026 against the Bexar County Clerk. Fees vary by county.
