Relating to an application for and the issuance of a marriage license after the marriage ceremony has been conducted.

SB 1956 creates a new process for obtaining a marriage license after a ceremony has already occurred. It requires applicants to submit a specific "Post-Ceremony Marriage Affidavit" to the county clerk, which must include the ceremony date/location, officiant's name, and signatures from both applicants, two witnesses, and the officiant. This applies to couples who had a marriage ceremony without a prior license but now need official documentation. The bill amends Family Code Sections 2.001(a), 2.0025, and 2.004 to implement this affidavit requirement and update application forms. It does not change marriage eligibility or create new marriage types, only establishing a procedure for retroactive licensing.
