    <div>I'm pretty sure you do need a permit. I think you need to just look up that specific beach and then contact the city. You would need a Texas marriage license. </div><div>

    We got married 11/3/12!!

  • I think you need a permit, but I'm not 100% sure. And I think you have to apply for a marriage certificate in the state you're getting married! I'm getting married in the Bahamas though so I am not 100% sure of that either! Good luck!

  • You will need to get a marriage license in any Texas county 3-30 days before your wedding.
