Texas Marriage License FAQs
How do I save $60 on a Texas marriage license?
Take an 8-hour Twogether in Texas premarital course before you apply, then bring both certificates to the county clerk. The license fee drops by $60 (about $82 → $22, varies by county) and the 72-hour waiting period is waived. Our online course costs $19.97 per couple, so you come out about $40 ahead.
Can you take the Twogether in Texas course online?

Our 8-hour course is 100% online and self-paced, costs $19.97 per couple, and your certificate prints as soon as you finish.
How much does the Twogether in Texas course cost?
Ours is $19.97 per couple, and one purchase covers both partners. Paid online Twogether in Texas courses we checked cost $18.99 to $39.98 per couple (November 2026), and some providers on the state list offer free classes. Ours includes an instant certificate, four versions (Standard, Christian, LGBTQ+ inclusive, Spanish), a Texas-licensed instructor, and a full money-back guarantee.
What is Twogether in Texas?
Twogether in Texas is the state’s premarital education program. Couples who complete at least 8 hours of premarital education from a registered provider get a certificate that takes up to $60 off the marriage license fee and waives the 72-hour waiting period. The certificate is valid for 1 year.
Do both me and my partner need to pay for the course?
No! The $19.97 price covers both partners to take the course together. One purchase provides complete access for the couple, and official Twogether in Texas completion certificates are issued for both individuals to present at the County Clerk’s office.
Can I skip the 72-hour waiting period in Texas?
Yes! Normally, Texas law requires couples to wait 72 hours after obtaining their marriage license before they can legally marry. By completing our official Twogether in Texas premarital course, the 72-hour waiting period is completely waived, allowing you to get married instantly.
Can we get married the same day we get our license?
Yes. With a Twogether in Texas certificate the 72-hour waiting period is waived, so you can marry the same day you get your license — and you pay $60 less for it.
How long does the premarital course take?
Texas law strictly requires a minimum of 8 hours of premarital education. Our online course is completely self-paced, meaning you can log in and out over several days. You must accumulate 8 hours of coursework before your official state certification form is generated.
What do we bring to the Texas County Clerk?
To successfully apply for your marriage license and receive your $60 discount, both you and your partner must appear in person at the County Clerk’s office. You must bring:
- Valid Government-Issued ID: A State Driver’s License, State ID card, valid Passport, or a certified copy of your birth certificate.
- Social Security Number: You must know your Social Security Number (some counties require the physical card).
- Course Certificate: Your original, physical Twogether in Texas certificate provided by Cadenza Counseling.
- Payment: The remaining balance of your license fee (typically ~$21-$22, check with your specific county for accepted payment methods).
Are all four course variations accepted by the state?
Yes! Whether you choose the Standard, Faith-Friendly, Inclusive, or Spanish track, your 8-hour curriculum is fully compliant with Texas Family Code § 2.013 and guarantees your $60 fee discount and waiting period waiver.
How long is a Texas marriage license valid?
Once your marriage license is issued by the County Clerk, you must conduct your wedding ceremony within 90 days. If you wait longer than 90 days, the license expires, and you will have to reapply and pay the fee again. By taking our course to skip the 72-hour wait, you have maximum flexibility to plan your ceremony within that 90-day window.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. The Twogether in Texas course comes with a full money-back guarantee.
How long is the Twogether in Texas certificate good for?
1 year. Apply for your marriage license within 1 year of finishing the course to get the $60 discount and skip the 72-hour wait.
