The Vital Statistics Section does maintain public indexes of Texas marriages since 1966 and Texas divorces since 1968. We are unable to issue verifications for marriages before 1966 and divorces before 1968.
For records prior to those years, you must contact the county where the marriage license was issued or the district clerk in the district where the divorce was granted.
On request, we provide verification letters of marriage and divorce based on these indexes. For details about ordering a marriage or divorce verification, visit the Marriage/Divorce records webpage.
Note that these verification letters are not certified and are not intended to be a certification of marriage or divorce.
