Hi Gerri Ann, Texas began recording divorces at the state level in 1968. And marriage records in 1966. Any years before that, you have to go to the county clerk where the marriage or divorce occurred. (And TX has 254 counties.) It looks like North Carolina began recording divorces at the state level 10 years before Texas did.
