Yes. You will need to get a marriage liscense. However, your new spouse may not be able to stay in the US after you marry, as their tourist visa or I-94 will expire..You don't want your beloved to get deported after all. Visit the website of the US Embassy in their country for visa information, speak to the US Citizen and Immigration Services (formerly the INS) and I would recommend that you contact a lawyer specialising in immigration matters!

These are the requirements for a marriage in Texas:

Applications and/or Documents Required: Bring along original copies of the following (and be sure pack these in your hand luggage, never in your checked bags):

* Photo ID (such as Drivers License, State ID, or passport) * Certified Birth Certificate * Social Security Card * If previously married and the divorce was finalized in the last 30 days, bring certified divorce decree stating the 30 day waiting period is to be waived.

Residency Requirements: none

Waiting Period: 72 hours. The waiting period may be waived due to active duty military status.

Blood Test: none

Texas Law requires a signed and notarized statement regarding child support be submitted by all applicants. You may obtain and complete this form when applying for your marriage license.
