You might be able to get the records for free but you will have to make sure that they are up to date. If they are not then the records are considered as being as current as they can be. There is a small chance that you could still be able to get records in the past but this is slim.

If you want to find Texas marriage records then you should start by going to the court houses in the state where the wedding took place.
