Persons who are at least 18-years of age are considered adults and do not need parental or guardian consent to obtain a marriage license. Minors between the ages of 14 and 17-years of age must have written parental consent on the official form signed in the presence of the county clerk, or have an order from the Texas district court authorizing the marriage. Minors under the age of 14-years are not allowed to marry unless the minor under the age of 14 is pregnant and the couple are willing.Then they must have both parents sign a parental consent on the official form in the presence of the county clerk and have an order from the Texas district court authorizing the marriage.

Applicants should be 18 years or older with valid identification. Applicants under the age of 18 must have a certified copy of their (long form) birth certificate issued in the last 10 years.

The minimum age for marriage in Texas with parental consent is 16. Parents listed on the long form birth certificate must be present and give written consent. The consenting parent must provide some form of government identification such as a valid driver's license. If the natural parents are divorced, the parent given custody must be present, and give written consent, and present a certified copy of their custody papers.

Judicial approval is required for anyone under the age of 16 to marry. Individuals who are 16 and 17 must have judicial approval or parental consent.

There is no age limit on being engaged, it isn't a legally recognized status. If you are under 18, you need parental permission to marry.

18 without parental consent, 16 with parental consent - any younger than 16 and you have to get a court order.
