What to know

Mind the 72-hour rule

Texas has a 72-hour waiting period between getting your license and the ceremony, unless you are active military or complete a state-approved premarital course. The license is valid for 90 days, from any county clerk including Bexar County.

Pick your spot

A River Walk overlook, a Spanish-colonial courtyard, or a Hill Country hilltop each suit an elopement beautifully. Note your vision and vendors will suggest options.

Keep it simple

An officiant and a photographer are often all you need. Add a small dinner to celebrate, and vendors can help arrange it.
