Marriag license was never sent in, do we need a divorce (TX)

[lysette000]

We live in Texas. We got our marriage license and got married but we never sent the marriage license in to the courthouse. We would like to know if we need to get a divorce or are we not legally married.

Have you lived together at all after the marriage?

 

[lysette000]

Yes we have lived together since we got the marriage license.

Yes we have lived together since we got the marriage license.

I will assume you mean that you have lived together since the ceremony.

Congratulations, you are married. Head on over to divorce court!
