SCR 6 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

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

This bill (SCR 6) is a ceremonial resolution designating Rockwall County as Texas' official "Marriage Capital" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. It formally recognizes the county's historical reputation as a popular wedding destination, citing its long-standing traditions like 24-hour marriage license services in the 1940s-50s and its enduring appeal for weddings. The resolution does not create new laws or affect any legal rights; it is purely symbolic recognition under existing state code (Section 391.003(e)). The designation took effect after the bill was signed by the governor on May 29, 2025.
