Although public records come under state jurisdiction and can vary in their applications from state to state, the Freedom of Information Act (1966) mandates their accessibility by the public anywhere in the country. Texas is a case in point and Texas Marriage Records is one example where anyone can legitimately check out anybody there.

Texas Marriage Records are primarily kept at county administrative units. Nevertheless, the state repository within the Vital Statistics Bureau at the Texas Department of State Health Service maintains in excess of 6 million Texas Marriage Records and is able to provide Verification Letters for marriages that occurred in the state of Texas from 1966 to current. If no records are found from a search request, a single-status verification letter will be yielded in its place. However, the Vital Statistics Bureau is not authorized to issue certified copies of marriage records.
