No. However, to have it recognized as a decedent's Last Will and Testament, it would need to be probated in a probate court or county court-at-law, whichever has jurisdiction in your county.

Can you use a Texas marriage license to get married in Vegas?

According to the Dallas County Clerk, marriage licenses issued in the State of Texas can be used for ceremonies in other states.
