About the Texas Marriage Index
The Texas Marriage Index lists marriages filed in Texas from 1966 through 2021 — over 9.4 million records from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) vital statistics indexes. It's the name catalog, not the certificates themselves: enough to confirm a marriage, date it, and find the county that holds the license.
This site makes that index searchable for free. No account, no subscription.
What you'll find on a record
- Names of both spouses
- Ages at the time of marriage
- Marriage date
- County where the license was filed
- State File Number (SFN)
Using the index
Search matches names for either spouse. You can also browse by the first spouse's last name using the alphabetical index.
Marriage certificates
The index can't be used as official documentation. For a certified copy, contact the county clerk where the marriage took place, or Texas Vital Statistics.
Data source
This data comes from the Texas DSHS Marriage/Divorce Indexes. Records from 2020–2021 use gender-neutral naming conventions.
