According to data from the Harris County Clerk's Office over the past six years, the highest number of marriage license applications processed was in 2016.
By the way, that was the year after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage.
Every year after, there has been a drop in applications. It appears the pandemic had a big impact on marriage license applications between years 2019 and 2020, with a 110% decrease.
