Judge ParkerWhile Dallas and Tarrant counties got a windfall in revenue today as hundreds of couples married, officials in Collin, Denton, Johnson, Hood and Wise counties refused to issue licenses today.
Representatives for Denton County claimed the delay was a computer problem and it will start issuing on Monday.
