Is Same-sex marriage Legal in Texas?

Yes, Same-sex marriage is Legal in Texas

Same-sex marriage has been legal in Texas (and all U.S. states) since the landmark Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015).

In this ruling, the Supreme Court held that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by:

• The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
• The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment

Prior to Obergefell v. Hodges, Texas law prohibited same-sex marriage. However, this was declared unconstitutional.

While the Respect for Marriage Act (2022) provides federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriages, the core legal basis for same-sex marriage rights rests on the Obergefell v. Hodges decision.
