Texas Marriage Records

What Is The Texas Marriage Index?

The Texas Marriage Index provides access to marriage records filed in Texas from 1966 through 2021. This comprehensive database contains over 9.4 million marriage records sourced from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) vital statistics indexes.

What Information Will I Find?

Each marriage record includes:
- Names of both spouses
- Ages at time of marriage
- Marriage date
- County where the license was filed
- State File Number (SFN)

The index contains record information only, not actual marriage certificates. It's an invaluable resource for genealogical research, family history, and marriage record verification.

Using The Index

This free resource allows you to search Texas marriage records without requiring a subscription or membership. Browse by the first spouse's last name using the alphabetical index, or use the search box above to find specific names. The search matches names for either spouse.

Marriage Certificates and Official Documents

While this index is useful for research, it cannot be used as official documentation. For certified marriage certificates, you'll need to contact the Texas Vital Statistics office or the county clerk where the marriage took place.

Data Source

This data comes from the Texas DSHS Marriage/Divorce Indexes. Note that 2020-2021 records use gender-neutral naming conventions.
