Missing someone??
Pick a time when you both can look up or out the window at the sky; day or night. Every day or once a week or several times a day. You may not be together but you're both under the same sky, the TEXAS sky.
Check our calendar at TDCJweddings.com to see when and where we will be next. Your Texas Prison Weddings officiant has taken the COVID vaccine and is approved to do TDCJ weddings til 4/8/2022.
TDCJ cancelled visitation and marriages March 13, 2020 due to COVID. Revised visitation started March 15, 2021 and finally after 14 months of waiting, the TDCJ marriage process resumed May 17th.
It's been a year and more for many of our clients so here's a brief recap of what is needed.
Make sure that you have a valid ID or copy of your Loved Ones TDCJ ID card; their birth certificate will work for Bell, Bexar and Harris County. IF you don't, they should submit an I-60 to the Law Library to get a copy of their TDCJ ID card 'for marriage purposes'. This is the longest process and can take 3-6 weeks.
Make sure that your Loved One has the Affidavit of Absent Applicant from the county where you will get the license, usually your home county. When they get a lay in for the ID card, they can get this notarized and sent to you along with the copy of their ID card. If you already have the copy, they can submit another I60 to the Law Library to get the affidavit notarized and sent to you.
Once these are done, he should be able to start the actual marriage process.
Marriage license can be bought at any Texas county clerk and used anywhere in Texas. Check with your local county, or county of your choice, to see if they have COVID guidelines in place.
