HCR 39 proposes to designate Rockwall County as the official "Marriage Capital of Texas." This resolution highlights Rockwall County's historical and cultural connection to the institution of marriage, including its unique practices in the mid-20th century, such as issuing marriage licenses around the clock and accommodating late-night weddings. The designation recognizes the county’s long-standing reputation for its elegant marriage certificates, diverse and scenic wedding venues, and its historical role in officiating thousands of marriages. The resolution states that this designation will remain in effect for 10 years from the date it is enacted.
