Public marriage records are kept for the purpose of providing the people with relevant information which they can use for any legitimate undertakings. The law has been implemented to give each individual their right to have complete access to the vital records. The retrieval of marriage records is governed according to the policy of every state. The pieces of information that are covered in the records include the details of the couple, their parents, witnesses and the official who conducted the event.

As a prominent state with one of the largest populations, Texas is well advanced in the area of public records. Total Texas Marriage Records amount to greater than 6 million and they are easily available through both public and private channels. The largest database is believed to be at the Texas Vital Statistics Office under the Department of State Health Services of Texas but private information brokers are also a popular source of public marriage records.
