Texas Marriage laws?

Question

Do you have to attend a pre-marital education course before you can apply for a license in texas? i know it says it is "encouraged" but is it required?

Answer 1

I really think the word encouraged means they would like that to occur, but I doubt that it is required if it doesn't say specifically  the word required.

Answer 2

No, it is not.  You just go to the court house and pay for it.  Now, there are different religions that make you go Through pre-marital counseling, but not the court.
