HCR 39 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Designating Rockwall County as the official Marriage Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

HCR 39 designates Rockwall County as Texas' official "Marriage Capital" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. This is a symbolic resolution recognizing the county's historical reputation as a popular wedding destination since the 1940s-50s, based on traditions like 24-hour marriage license processing and unique wedding certificates. It does not create new laws, change regulations, or affect any specific individuals or groups. The designation is purely ceremonial under Section 391.003(e), Government Code, and expires automatically in 2035.
