Marriage license and name change

Hello ladies!

I need to know from someone who already got married here, or who knows this stuff.

It's been 6 1/2 weeks since our wedding, and still no license in the mail.  Is that normal?  We got our license through Harris County if that makes a difference.

And from what I understand, I need to have the marriage license to change my name, first at the SS office, correct?

Just wanted to see if anyone knew.

    You do have to have your license back to change your name. I did mine first at the DPS and then the social security office, though I don't think it matters which one you do first. You'll also need it to change your name on your bank account if you're going to do so. I think I got mine back in about 5 weeks but they said to expect 6-8 so you should get it soon.

    Ok good, I'll wait a couple more weeks before I worry then.  

    Yeah, I know I'll have to change my name on bank account, credit cards, etc.  Just one step at a time!  :)
