I was married in TX, and tried to file for divorce after moving to NY, however I found out that you have to be a legal resident of New York state for one year prior to filing. It may depend on what state you are living in now, though. I don't know if it's the same rule for all states.

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. But, according to the Clark County Clerk in Nevada, you must obtain your marriage license in Nevada. You do not need to be a Nevada resident to get your license there. Both parties must appear in person before a Clerk at a Clark County Marriage Bureau location. There are several in Las Vegas. If you want to get married in Las Vegas, you can apply for your license the same day of your ceremony. Marriage licenses are issued the same day that you apply and there is no waiting period after that to get married. The Clark County Clerk also has an online marriage pre-application on their website that you can fill out ahead of time. You can do this up to 60 days before. Good luck!

If you are married to a man in Texas and get married to another man in Louisiana before your divorce from the Texas man is final what is your status?

If you marry a man in Texas, you are married to that man until your divorce is final. So if you try to marry a man in Louisiana before your Texas divorce is final, the second marriage is invalid. In order to get a marriage license, you have to state that you are not already married. If you are, then you lied on the application, which will invalidate the license. You could also be charged with the crime of bigamy. You will have to marry him again after the Texas divorce is final if you want to be married to him.
