By Claire Dowell


The office of the Vital Statistics Section of the Department of Health Services of Texas is where the public documents of the state are being archived. This is also where individuals can request to get a copy of Texas marriage records. One should seek the office of the county clerk in order to get approval getting the document.

Marriages that have been registered since the year 1966 are the only records that can be obtained at the state office. A fee of $20 is needed to have the request processed. Going to the office of the Vital statistics is the first option when seeking for the marriage records of Texas. It would only take at most 2hours to get a copy of the requested document. Payment can be in the form of a check, money order or cash.

If going to the office is not possible at the moment, a mail order can be sent via the US Postal Services. All of the needed requirements including the$20 processing fee have to be included on the mail order. The office does not accept cash if the request was done via mail. Payment should be made through a mail order or a check addressed to the office. A wait time of at least 6 weeks is needed to have the results of the requests sent back to the address of the one who filed the request.

The wait time has been improved to just seconds with the help of the Internet. It is now possible to obtain a copy of the Texas marriage records, along with other public documents of the state, by using the Internet. This has allowed a faster retrieval method and it is also convenient. It has eliminated the need to go to any office since it can be obtained even at home. One can even choose between a paid search and a free search.

Some websites offer a free search of a marriage records. This is done by letting the users test the website's application and services for free. However, the results of the free search may not be as reliable as that of a paid search. There are a lot of providers that do not provide accurate results on a free search. Also, there are a lot of spammers online that may give out viruses along with the results of the free search. One has to be aware of this when going for a free search to avoid being spammed and tricked. Many would save the trouble of going through all of this by simply paying for the search.

Websites that offer a paid search is still popular and the choice of many. One can be sure about the quality of results obtained from it. Also, there is no need to worry about the money you spent because some websites even offer a refund if the marriage records online is not found.
